Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for the Treatment of the Straw of Flax and the like
Inventor: SUMMERS BERTRAND STAGER
Filed: 1908-05-22
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 11,132. Summers, B. S. May 22. Breaking and scutching apparatus; feeding and transferring flax &c.-Flax or the like is fed continuously or intermittingly to a series of vertically reciprocating beater blades which break and crimp it in a grid; it is then fed to two scutching- wheels which successively scutch the ends, each stalk being moved longitudinally while intermediate of the two wheels so that the length previously held is scutched by the succeeding wheel. The beater blades 16, which co-operate with a grid, are simultaneously raised and lowered at one end by a camgroove 17 in the plate 18 which is oscillated from a wheel 25, while the other ends are raised and lowered by eccentrics 31, which are so disposed that the blades are lifted successively from the middle to the sides of the machine. The feed chains 7, which are moved intermittently by a ratchet wheel, are arranged as shown in Fig. 8 to alternate with the grid bars 2, so as virtually to form part of the grid. The grid-frame 2<a> is adjusted vertically by a camplate 3<a> and is pivoted at 3, so that, as the front ends of the beater blades are raised when the feed chains are moved forwards, the frame tilts and provides a wider exit for the material. Inclined bars 44 detach the flax from the chains 7 and lead it to the continuously-operated scutching-chains 12, it being then scutched by wheels which comprise metal vanes 46 faced with wood, and are secured in slots in a central drum. The wheels are adjustable to and from the boards 49 by a screw 62, and are carried in end-bearings which are held by springs 65. The body of the scutching-drum is provided with a shield to exclude the flax, and with another shield 68 to form, with the scutching- plate 49, a restricted passage for the flax which extends from the nip of the chain to the periphery of the drum of the wheel. The top scutching-plate is resiliently held by springs 53. A diagonal chain 98, carried in a pivoted bracket which is adjusted by a screw and hand-wheel 117, moves the flax horizontally so that the second scutching-wheel operates on the parts previously held in the chain. The flax is held on the scutching-chain by spring- pressed bars, and is removed therefrom by a stripper 78, which delivers it to a conveyor belt which discharges it from the machine.
