PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Roller Mill for Treating Cereals.
I, HENRY SIMON, of 20 Mount Street, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
In roller mills for treating cereals, the material fed from the hopper, in a more
or less broken or crushed state, is often guided along a curved plate so as to enter
between the rolls, and is similarly guided from between the rolls to a receptacle or
conveyor.
In passing along the faces of these plates which, having their backs exposed, are
comparatively cool, the material, which is somewhat warm and damp, is apt to.
deposit some of its finer particles forming an irregular paste on the guide plates.
which interferes with even feeding and involves trouble and time in its.
removal.
My invention relates to simple and effectual means for preventing this pasty
deposit on either of the guide plates, for which purpose I place at some distance
behind it, that is to say farther from the rolls, another or back plate so that there
is an air space enclosed between the two plates by which the plate, next the rolls,
along which the material runs, is prevented from becoming so far cooled as to
cause condensation and deposit of the damp particles. In existing mills, the plates
now serving as guide plates may be made to serve as the back plates, fresh plates.
to serve as guide plates being placed at some distance in front of them nearer to
the rolls.
Dated this 9th day of June 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Roller Mill for Treating Cereals.
I, HENRY SIMON, of 20 Mount Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster,
Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what.
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
In roller mills for grinding or crushing cereals, the material fed from the hopper
in a more or less broken or crushed state is often guided along a curved plate so as
to enter between the rolls. In passing along the face of this plate which has its.
back exposed, the material which may be somewhat warm and damp is apt to.
deposit some of its finer particles forming an irregular paste on the guide
plate which interferes with even feeding and involves trouble and time in its
removal.
My invention relates to simple and effectual means for preventing this pasty
deposit on the guide plate, for which purpose, as shewn in the accompanying
drawing representing in transverse section a pair of rolls and the guide plate to
them, I place at some distance behind the guide plate X that is to say farther from
the roll R another or back plate Y so that there is an air space A enclosed between
the two plates X and Y by which the plate X next the roll along which the
material M runs is prevented from becoming so far cooled as to cause condensation
and deposit of the damp particles. In existing mills the plates now serving as
guide plates may be made as the back plates Y, fresh plates X to serve as.

roll R.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
In a roller mill for treating cereals, arranging behind the plate which guides the
material to the bite of the rolls a second or back plate with an air space between
the plates, substantially as described.
