Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Cracking Seeds, Nuts and similar Products and Separating the Kernels from the Shells thereof.
Inventor: HAWTHORN HAROLD
IPC: A23N5/00
Filed: 1912-10-28
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 24,614. Hawthorn, H. Oct. 28. Stamps, ore and like; cracking nuts. - In apparatus for cracking nuts, seeds, &c., of the type in which the nuts are first graded and conducted by separate passages to anvils where they are cracked by hammers operated by cams, the anvil or die is pivoted and connected to the hammer - operating gear so that the die turns about its pivot to discharge the kernel and the broken shell after the nut has been struck bv the hammer. The graded nuts are fed by an elevator a, Fig. 2, to shoots b, and pass one at a time into concave dies e, whence, after being cracked by drop stamps d' operated by cams d<4>, they are delivered to an inclined endless travelling belt f, which conveys the shells and husks into a receptacle g<1> and the kernels into a receptacle g. The nuts are fed one at a time to the dies by means of two gates c, c<1> connected by a rod c<2> to a lever c<3> operated by a cam c'. The pivoted dies e are connected by a link e<1> and lever e<2> to the rod c<2>, and revolving or reciprocating brushes or scrapers may be provided to sweep the broken nuts out of the dies. The stamp d<1> has a recessed face, and one or more chisels or splitters may project slightly beyond the face of the die or stamp or both, as shown in Fig. 4. The chisels &c. fitted in the stamps may be detachable. The belt f is preferably covered with some suitable rough material, and a third receptacle g<2> may be provided to receive any large nuts that may have passed through the machine without being cracked. The grader preferably comprises a number of inclined rods mounted in a frame with tapering spaces between them, and the rods or the whole grader may vibrate or oscillate.

Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 27,745. Newton, P. A., [Eisenwerk Coswig und Maschinenbau Calberla Akt.-Ges.]. Dec. 2. Cigarette - tipping machines. - In apparatus for delivering and applying material for tipping cigarettes, such as leaf-gold &c., the leaf material and its supporting-strip are together fed during the backward movement of the delivery-apparatus and after the previous tip has been pasted to the cigarette paper. The leaf material and supporting-strip fare carried bv an endless band l which is passed over a pivoted bridge m and over rollers i, h mounted on a sliding carriage c, which also carries the leaf-material roll g. On the forward movement of the carriage c, the upper part of the endless band is drawn along the bridge m, owing to the roller i being prevented from rotating backwards, and carries with it the supporting-strip and cut-off material. This cut-off portion is pressed on to the pasted cigarette strip s by means of the bridge being allowed to rise owing to the disk v entering a groove u on the guide roller t. During the first part of the backward stroke of the carriage c, the upper part of the belt and the supporting- strip are moved backwards till only the requisite amount of leaf projects beyond the knife, when the clamps w descend and hold the leaf material while it is being cut. During the second part of the backward movement, the upper part of the endless belt and leaf material at the cutting point on the bridge are held while the supporting-strip and leaf material are drawn off the roll g.
