PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Apparatus for Separating Dust from Air.
I, HENRY SIMON, of No. 20 Mount Street, Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
In the Specification No. 9423 of 1886 is described apparatus for separating dust
from air, consisting of a conical vessel into the larger end of which a current of
dust laden air enters tangentially, as this current whirls round the conical interior,
the dust collects at the periphery and passes helically onwards to an outlet at the
small end of the cone, while the air free, or almost free from dust, issues by a central
outlet through the cover at the large end of the cone. My invention relates to a
modification of this apparatus whereby I ensure more complete separation of the
dust from the air and a more rapid and certain delivery of the dust.
For this purpose, at a little distance from the dust outlet I fix a cone-ended
central core around which the dust whirls as it is reaching the outlet, and
I extend this core a greater or less distance towards or even through the air
outlet, which, in the latter case, is thus rendered annular, so that the air is thus
caused to issue in a more continuous and uniform circular current.
Dated this 19th day of March 1896.

I, HENRY SIMON, of No. 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 the Specification No. 9423 of 1886 is described apparatus for separating dust
from air, consisting of a conical-vessel into the larger end of which a current of
dust laden air enters tangentially; as this current whirls round the conical interior,
the dust collects at the periphery and passes helically onwards to an outlet at the
small end of the cone, while the air free, or almost free from dust, issues by a central
outlet through the cover at the large end of the cone. My invention relates to a
modification of this apparatus whereby I ensure more complete separation of the
dust from the air and a more rapid and certain delivery of the dust.
For this purpose, I construct the apparatus as shewn in the accompanying
drawings, Figures 1 and 2 being vertical sections and Figure 3 a plan on X X of

page_text: At a little distance from the dust outlet D I fix a cone-ended central core C
around which the dust whirls as it is reaching the outlet D and I extend this core
a greater or less distance towards, or, as shewn in Figure 2, even through the air
outlet A which, in the latter case, is thus rendered annular, so, that the air is thus
caused to issue in a more continuous and uniform circular current.
Having now particularly desoribed 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 combination with apparatus for separating dust from air, of the kind described
in the Specification No. 9423 of 1886, a cone ended core near..the dust outlet,
-substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
