Patent GB-191000945-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Slicing Almonds, and other Nuts or Analogous Articles.
IPC: A23N5/00
Filed: 1910-01-13
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 945. Baker & Sons, J., and Skinner, J. W. Jan. 13. Cutting and slicing vegetables &c. - In a machine for slicing almonds, nuts, &c., the nuts &c. are fed in rows to the cutters, and are ejected after the cutting operation. The feeding - device comprises a vertically - reciprocating slide 3, Figs. 2 and 4, in a hopper 1, having recesses 4 for single nuts which are moved upwards and impaled on a series of weighted pins mounted on an horizontally - reciprocating bar 5. In the conveyance of the nuts to a travelling web 8, a series of fixed pins 9 are encountered, and the nuts assume a longitudinal position. Continued movement of the bar 5 brings the nuts, still on the pins, below V-shaped members 10 and, at the same time, the bar 5 is raised by the engagement of rollers 5<a> with inclined planes 11 on the frame of the machine. The pins are withdrawn from the nuts, which are carried along the web 8 in rows into a series of scoops 12 pivoted on a bar 13 and which are fed into a series of slotted blocks 16 on a reciprocating slide 15. A second series of scoops 18 is mounted above a channelled extension 17 on the slide 15. Mounted on a rock - shaft 22 adjacent to the rear end of the machine is a series of pressing-fingers 23, provided with slots for the passage of the cutters on the shaft 27, and adapted to press upon the almonds in the recesses in the blocks 16, when the slide 15 is in its rear position as shown in Fig. 7. Each finger 23 is provided with a shoulder 60 and a spring tail-piece 25, which engages a rod 26 carried by the slide 15, and which presses firmly on the almonds. The almonds are fed into the weighted scoops 12, the second series of scoops 18 being weighted to remain normally in their inclined position. During the forward movement of the slide 15, an abutment 14 thereon contacts with a tappet 15<a> on the shaft 13 to tilt the scoops 12, whereby the almonds are discharged on to the blocks 16. On the return movement of the slide, a second abutment 21 engages a tappet 20 on the shaft 19, causing the scoops 18 to be raised to the horizontal position, while the blocks 16, carrying the almonds, pass below, whereupon the scoops 18 return to their normal inclined position. After the slicing of the almonds &c., the slide 15 again moves in a forward direction, during which the scoops 18 engage the sliced almonds and discharge them on to an inclined plate or shoot below. The cutting - devices comprise groups of five blades mounted on a shaft 31, Fig. 5, the central blade 33 being in advance, then an intermediate pair 34, and finally an outside pair 35. At one end of the boss 31 is mounted a cam 36 engaging a roller 37 carried by a weighted lever 38 which is mounted on a shaft 22, whereby the fingers 23 are kept normally raised.
