Title: Improvements in machines or apparatus for washing and dressing edible animal offal, and for washing, cleaning and removing the skin from vegetables
IPC: A22B5/08
Filed: 1924-09-13
Abstract: 237,752. Hill, F. Sept. 13, 1924. Offal, treating; vegetables, cleaning and peeling.-In a machine for washing and dressing animal offal, such as feet and tripe, or washing, cleaning, and removing the skin from vegetables, the material is brushed in a chamber continuously supplied with water in the form of a spray and the brushes 141 - - 145 rotate on substantially horizontal axes 14 and are arranged at the bottom and sides of the brushing space. In the case of tripe, the material is scalded and soaked in two circular tanks 10, which are used alternately, the tanks being provided with stirring arms 25 supported and rotated by central shafts 23 passing through tubes 15, the stirrers being stopped or revolved in either direction by the manipulation of suitable clutch gear by a lever 42. The operator stands on a platform 44 between the tanks 10, a vertical wall 441 preventing him from being splashed when he removes the offal from the tanks 10 bv means of a rod, and places it on a shoot 56 from whence it is conveyed by a conveyer 12 which transfers it to the brushing chamber. The conveyer 12 comprises side walls 121; a bottom 123; chain and chain wheels 52. 48, 50, and an endless apron 53, driven from the chain 52, resting on the bottom 123 and provided with transverse bars G4 which elevate the offal. The upper end of the conveyer 12 projects into a hood 55 which projects into the brushing chamber, the front plate 551 being extended downwardly and the side plate 552 being inclined to direct the material towards. one end of the brushing chamber. The plate 60 of the brushing chamber is made removable to allow inspection of the interior and is secured by wing nuts 64 and a trough 62 is positioned beneath the outlet 61. The spray device 82 is nositioned immediately above an inclined plate 71, and is supplied with cold water, hot water, or steam, or mixtures of cold and hot water and steam, by valve-controlled pipes 73, 74, 75 connected to a common header 72. The lever 90 controls fast and loose pulley gear for operating the brushes and is also interconnected with a stop cock 81 in the spray supply system. The offal moves along the brushes towards the discharge door 573 through which it passes over a shoot to a table where it is finally examined. When the machine is used for treating feet for food or the production of oil, or cleaning and skinning vegetables, the tanhs 10 are not used, or entirely dispensed with, and the material is fed directly into the brushing chamber.

July 11, 1957 [July 23, 1956], Relates to a side-delivery rake of the type having rake-wheels and having first and second working positions in each of which it subjects the crop to a different haymaking operation, e.g. swath-turning and tedding. According to the invention, each rake-wheel is adjustable about a non-horizontal axis which does not intersect the axis of rotation. the adjustment being effective to convert the device from its first to its second working position. As shown in Fig. 1, the device is a side-delivery rake and comprises a frame 1 shaped in plan-view as a figure-7 and having three ground-wheels 2, 3, 4, the wheel 3 being a castor and the wheels 2, 4 being swivel-wheels whose vertical swivel-axes can be locked by means such as a pin 20 and locking plate 16. The rake-wheels are mounted on the longer limb of the frame which carries a series of inclined stub axles 21-24. Each rake-wheel has a hub 62 which is carried by a crank-arm 35 pivoted in a bearing 32B on an arm 32 integral with a collar 31 swivelly mounted on a stub axle such as 21. The collar is integral with a further arm 45 which is connected by a longitudinal bar 51 to the corresponding arms 48, 49, 50. All the arms are maintained in either of the positions shown in Figs. 1 and 4 by an over-centre linkage and spring 58, 61 which is self-sustaining in either position. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the device is drawn by the drawbar 18 and operates as a tedder in which each rake-wheel works independently. The rake-wheels are suspended by springs 44 from levers 37 each pivoted on a standard 33 integral with the arm 32, whereby each rake-wheel can be lifted for transport. The device has two alternative drawbars 77, 18 and adjustable seat 72. Specifications 866,006, 866,007 and 866,008 are referred to.
