Abstract: 2800. Merrill, C. W. Feb. 3. Filter-presses.- Figs. 1 and 3 show respectively forms of container and press - plate which are mounted alternately on the side bars 10 of a filterpress. Devices are provided for flushing-out the contents of the containers, both plates and containers are made to slope at the bottom, and each plate has outlets 5 connected to the discharge channels 6 for the filtered liquid. The material under treatment is supplied to the containers through a channel formed by apertures d. Apertures 16 in the plates form a channel for the discharge of the unfilterable material. There are no corresponding bosses on the containers, but the cloths are held tightly round the apertures by clamping-plates which are bolted to the press-plates. A sluice-pipe 19, Fig. 7, with nozzles 23 passes through the apertures 16 and serves to supply fluid to pulp the cakes and facilitate the discharge of the pulp. The pipe is supported in collars 22, which can rotate on blocks 20 adjustable by means of screws 21 outside the frames. The flushing- liquid is supplied to the pipe 19 at both ends. The side bars 10 have each two rails 11 along one of which run rollers 12 carrying the containers, and on the other rollers 13 carrying the plates. The containers are provided with central lugs 9, 9<a> at the top and bottom to which a cable or chain may be attached, so as to facilitate the separation of the elements. Strips 24 may be bolted to the press-plates outside the filter-cloths. Forms of plate are shown having apertures to provide a channel for the supply of a fluid behind the cloths, either to treat the cakes or facilitate their discharge. In these plates there are no apertures 6 and the liquid is discharged through a separate cock from each plate. The Provisional Specification refers also to the use of a combined hydraulic and screw mechanism for closing the press.

Title: Improvements in Sausage Machines, Sausages, and the Process of Making Sausages.
Inventor: BOYLE JAMES LEE
IPC: A22C11/00
Filed: 1911-06-09
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 13,799. Boyle, J. L. June 9. Rotary-mould-table machines.-A sausage machine, arranged to produce several sausages simultaneously of uniform shape and size and with a hardened outer surface instead of a skin, comprises a series of tubular moulds arranged between vertical rotating disks. The moulds are filled with mincemeat under pressure, the disks are then rotated with a step-by-step movement through a hot chamber, and the sausages are forced out of the moulds by plungers. Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 4 an end elevation of the machine, and Fig. 8 shows the auxiliary apparatus. A doublewalled trough 1, with means for admitting a heating-medium between the walls, forms the body of the machine and supports in bearings 12 a shaft 11, to which are secured a pair of disks 15. Between these disks are arranged in radial rows a series of tubular moulds 25 of glass, porcelain, &c. On the outer side of each disk is arranged a non-rotating circular cover 35 secured by brackets to the trough and a vertical row of holes in one of the covers communicates with a chamber 40 opening into a tube 42. The chamber 40 is secured to the cover 35 by means of a yoke 43. A bracket 59 bolted to the trough 1 supports a slideway 58 forming a guide for a cross-head 57 carrying a series of plungers 55, by means of which the sausages are discharged from the moulds 25 into a shoot 110. The driving-shaft 65 is connected by worm and bevel gear to a slotted disk 75, by which a reciprocating pawl 78 is actuated to give an intermittent rotation to the ratchet-wheel 80 and, through spur gearing, to the disks 15. After each movement, the disks are locked by a pawl 91 engaging notches 90, the pawl being automatically disengaged prior to the next movement by a cam on the shaft 71. The notches 90 are so placed that, at each stoppage of the disks, one row of moulds is in position at the charging-chamber 40 and another row opposite the discharge plungers 55. The plungers are actuated by a slotted disk 96 on the shaft 70 engaging a pin 98 on the cross-head 57. The meat is forced into the moulds 25 through the pipe 42 and chamber 40 by hydraulic or other pressure acting on the underside of a piston 105 working in a cylinder 100, Fig. 8. The disks carrying the moulds are then rotated intermittently, a fresh row of moulds being charged at each stoppage. When each row of moulds has been rotated through three-quarters of a revolution, it arrives opposite the plungers 55 and the sausages are ejected thereby down the shoot 110 on to an endless band 111 which conveys them to a smoke chamber 115. During the progress of the moulds through the heated liquid contained in the trough, the outer surfaces of the sausages become hardened.
