IMPROVEMENTS IN FILLERS OR NOZZLES OF SAUSAGE FILLING MACHINES
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I, ROBERT DAVIDSON WADDELL of 234 St. George's Road, Glasgow, in the
County of Lanark, North Britain, Sausage Manufacturer do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN FILLERS OR NOZZLES OF
SAUSAGE FILLING MACHINES and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This Invention, which relates to improvements in Fillers or nozzles of Sausage
filling machines, has for its object to facilitate the manufacture of sausages, that is
to say, in place of slipping the skins, to be filled, over the existing tubes or nozzles
when permanently secured to the machine, as has hitherto been the practice, the
machine is provided with two, three, or more nozzles which are capable of being
placed in position upon the machine or removed therefrom with great facility, so
that while a skin is being filled upon the Machine, other skins may be placed upon
the further tubes or nozzles, and thus made ready to be placed upon the filling
machine when the skin then being filled, shall be used up.
In order that the Invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect the annexed sheet of drawings will now be described.
Figure 1, is a side elevation of a Filler or nozzle constructed according to this
Invention represented as in position upon a filling machine a portion of which only,
is shewn in the said Figure.
Figure 2. is in part a longitudinal section and in part a side elevation of the
same, representing the Filler or nozzle proper, as apart from the filling Machine.
Figures 3. and 4. are front elevations respectively of the detachable and fixed
portions of the same.
The detachable portion of the attachment is formed with the socket a, at whose
inner part are provided the projections b, whose rear or inner sides are preferably
formed obliquely. Upon the portion c, which is rigidly secured to the end of the
machine, the projections d, are provided with their rear or inner sides formed
obliquely in a manner similar to that of the projections b.-Upon placing the
socket a, over the portion c, the projections b, are passed between the projections d,
when the said socket a. with its attached tube e, on being turned by means of the
lugs f. in the proper direction, is drawn tightly up against the end of the portion c,
with which a tight joint is made between it and the shoulder g, formed in the
socket a.

page_text: In applying, these improvements to existing filling machines, the nut h, is screwed
out at its interior to fit tightly upon the screwed nozzle of such existing machines
or is in otherwise secured thereon.
It is to be understood, although the filler or nozzle attachment herein before
described is represented upon the annexed drawing as provided with the pro-
jections b, and d, that other equivalent arrangements may be provided for enabling
the detachable portion to be speedily removed and locked in position upon the
machine, for, in place of the said projections being formed upon the two portions
thereof, projections may be formed on one portion only, while the other portion is
provided with a slot opening outwards, forming under such construction a joint
analogous to the well-known bayonet joint.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, what is claimed is :-
Improvements in Fillers or nozzles of Sausage filling machines, whereby they
are rendered easy of removal and replacement substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore set forth with reference to the annexed drawing.
