Improvements in or connected with Centrifugal Machines.
A communication by GEORGE DASEKING, of 179, Celler Chaussee, Hanover, in
the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer.
I, GEORGE CECIL DYMOND, M.Inst.M.E., of the Agency for Foreign Patent
Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in
the County of Lancaster, 118, New Street, Birmingham, and 322 High Holborn,
in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, 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:-
As is well known, the centrifugalling of milk is facilitated by the arrangement
of suitable insertions in the interior of the centrifugal drum. In all the insertions
hitherto employed however narrow passages are formed in a vertical, oblique
or horizontal direction so that quite determined courses are prescribed for the
travel of the milk inside the centrifugal drum.
Now by the present invention it is endeavoured to impart to the milk
immediately the circular speed of the drum, but on the other hand to leave the
liquid entire freedom of movement in all directions.
To this end an insertion is provided consisting of fillers by means of which
a large number of narrow interconnected passages are formed in the interior of
the drum in order to afford to the liquid a free passage in all directions from
every point inside the drum. The insertion may wholly or partially fill up
the centrifugal drum.
:
In the accompanying drawings various forms of construction of such insertions
are shown. Figures 1, 2 and 3 show an insertion a composed of coiled wire
netting. Figures 4 and 5 an insertion of separate superimposed suitably shaped
discs or plates 6 of wire gauze or fabric or perforated zinc. Figures 6 and 7
an insertion of balls c. Figures 8 and 9 insertions with quite irregular filling
material.
In order to provide an easy running for the drum, a ball k is arranged on top
of a spindle deeply inserted in the drum axis as shown in Figure 8 so that the
drum is mounted on said ball.
The invention is of course entirely independent of the forms shown as examples
in the drawings and is not restricted to these patterns, as the filling bodies may
of course assume any suitable form and be of any mode of construction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated
to me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. An insertion for centrifugal drums, wholly or partially filling up said drum,
and consisting of fillers adapted to produce a large number of narrow intercon-
nected passages in the drum allowing the liquid free access in all directions from
any point inside the drum, substantially as hereinbefore described.

page_text: 2. In centrifugal machines, the mounting of the drum on a spindle deeply
located in the drum axis with a ball on top of said spindle to support the drum,
substantially as described.
