Title: Improved Process of Obtaining Very Pure Concentrated Saccharine Juices and Nutritious Food-stuffs Poor in Water, from Beetroots, without the use of Water, and of Obtaining Syrups, Alchol, and Pressed Yeast from the Juices
Inventor: STEFEEN CARL
Filed: 1901-05-25
Granted: 1902-01-16
Abstract: 10,884. Steffen, C. May 25. Beet-root, treating; purifying saccharine liquids. -Relates to the production of saccharine juices and dry food-stuffs from beet-roots. Beet-root pulp is mixed with raw beet-root juice, previously heated so that the temperature of the resulting mixture may be between 60‹ C. and 100‹ C. The juice is then separated in the usual manner, and may be again used for heating fresh pulp, while the expressed pulp is dried to produce a food-stuff. Beet-root chips or crushed or whole beet-roots may be treated in a similar manner. The operation may be carried out in vessels combined like those of a diffusion battery, and provided with known intermediate heating-tubes or the like, for heating the juice. If desired, the raw beet-root juice employed may be concentrated by evaporation before being mixed with the beet-root materials. Syrups, alcohol, and pressed yeast may be made from the resulting saccharine juices. In a modified form of the process, beet-root pulp or chips are treated with raw juice, at a temperature below 60‹ C., and a quantity of juice, equal to that yielded by the beet-root material treated, is run off to be treated with lime in the usual way ; the remainder of the juice is expressed from the beet- root material, and employed for treating fresh quantities of beet-root.

The ladle or body 1 is supported on pivots 2 which rest on flat bearing- surfaces on the upper parts of the end frames 6. The frames 6 are connected by bars 7, and one frame carries the tipping mechanism. An electric or other motor 11 drives worm gearing 16, and the motion is transmitted through bevel gearing 21 and toothed gearing 23, 25 to a worm 28, which gears with a pinion 10 on the pivot 2. As the ladle is tipped, it is moved laterally on the frames 6 by pinions 9, mounted on the pivots 2 and shown by dotted lines, engaging with racks 8 on the upper parts of the frames 6. The worm gearing 16 may be replaced by toothed gearing, and a hand-wheel may be placed on the spindle 18. The pinion 9 may be omitted, the pinion 10 being arranged to gear with a suitable rack. In a smaller ladle for carrying hot metal &c. from copper and other smelting-furnaces, the motor is mounted on the end of the shaft carrying the worm 28. The ladle is held in its normal position by a forked latch on a rocking shaft engaging with a lug on the body of the ladle. The rocking shaft is moved by a handle 35, which is notched to hold the latch upon or off the lug. The tipping-mechanism may be applied to ladles with trunnions in bearings.

It is locked in position by a lever D. The work is crimped over an adjustable leaf G, which is pivoted at x, Fig. 5, between the feed-dogs H, with which it is kept in contact by a saddle-shaped presser-foot on a bar F<1>. The needle a, which, in the form shown, is curved, moves approximately horizontally, and is carried by a needle-bar R pivoted at T. The needle-bar is operated from the main shaft by a connecting-rod N, which is universally jointed at both ends. In a modification, a straight needle, mounted on a reciprocating carrier, is used. Double-loop stitching-machines. -A similar connecting-rod X at the other side of the machine actuates a pivoted lever b, which is linked to a crank h carried by the looper shaft i. This shaft is obliquely mounted, as shown, so that, as it is oscillated, the point of the looper k, which it carries, rises and falls, so as to be in the proper position for taking a loop of needle thread or for presenting its loop to the needle as the case may be. Means are also described whereby the looper shaft can be given a longitudinal movement by the needle-bar, so as to raise and lower the looper. Chain-stitching machines.-By using a looper such as is shown in Fig. 11, and dispensing with the looper thread, a single-thread chain-stitch is formed. The notch shown at the upper side of the looper takes the needle thread and passes it through the loop which has just previously been formed.
