Improvements in Silting Apparatus
A communication from abroad by JULIUS HENRICI, of 126 Boulevaid Madeleine,
Marseilles, France, Engineer.
I, WILLIAM LLOYD WISE of No. 46 Lincoln's Inn Fields in the County of
London, Consulting Engineer and Chartered Patent Agent do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows :—
According to this invention the shaking sieve of flat sifting apparatus
suspended from rods, the points of suspension of which, as well as the points of
attachment of said rods to the sieve, are constituted by universal joints, sometimes
designated Hook's joints.
Two constinctions of this improved flat sifting apparatus are illustrated in the
accompanying drawings,
Fig. I being a side elevation, and
Fig 2a half end elevation of one arrangement.
Figs. 3 and 4 are respectively part side and end elevations, each paitly in
section, and
Fig. 5 a sectional plan showing to a larger scale the mode of suspension
employed
Figs 6 and 7 are respectively a side elevation and a front end clevation of the
other arrangement.
•
The shaking sieve a in the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 to 5 is assumed to be
suspended from two standards bresting on the floor on both sides of the sieve; and
in the arrangement shown in Figs 6 and 7, the 31ove is assumed to be suspended
duectly from the ceiling or roof c of the room in which the silting apparatus is
Situated
In both cases the suspension is effected by means of four rods d, the points of
attachment of which to the standards b, or to the ceiling e, and to the shaking
sieve a itselt, are formed by universal joints e
In the arrangements herein described these universal joints are constructed in a
peculiar manne, namely, each of the two forks forming part of the combination
that constitutes each one of the joints is made with split aims, each of which
serves to clamp one of the tour pins or journals that are fitted crosswise to engage
The pins are preferably
In the centre piece of the joint connecting the two forks
formed with screw-thiends to screw into the limbs of the forks wherein they are
then clamped fast. This arrangenient allows of the joints being readily put
together and taken apart

Marseilles, France, Engineer.
I, WILLIAM LLOYD WISE, of No 46, Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the County
of London, Consulting Engineer and Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly descubed and ascoitained in and by the following
statement
-
According to this invention the shaking sieve of flat sifting apparatus is
suspended from rods, the points of suspension of which, as well as the points of
attachment of the said rods to the sieve, are constituted by universal joints,
sometimes designated Hook's joints,
Two constructions of this improved flat sifting apparatus are illustrated in the
drawings filed with my Provisional Specification,
Fig. 1 beng a side elevation, and
Fig 2 a half und elevation of one arrangement.
Figs. 3 & 4 are respectively part side and end elevations, each partly in
section, and
Fig. 5a sectional plan, showing to a larger scale the mode of suspension
employed.
Figs. 6 and 7 are respectively a side elevation and a front end elevation of the
other arrangement.
The shaking sieve a in the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive is
assumed to be suspended from two standards & resting on the floor on both sides
of the sieve; and in the arrangement shown in Figs 6 & 7, the sieve is assumed' to
be suspended duectly from the ceiling or 100f c of the 100m in which the sifting
apparatus is situated.
In both cases the suspension is effected by means of four rods d, the points of
attachment of which to the standards b, or to the ceiling c as the case may be, and
to the shaking sieve a itself, being formed by universal joints e.
In the arrangements shewn in the drawings, the universal joints are constructed
in a peculiar manner, namely, each of the two forks forming pait of the combination
that constitutes each one of the joints, is made with split arms each of which serves
to alamp oue of the four pins or journals that are fitted crosswise to engage in the
centre-piece of the joint connecting the two forks. The pins are preferably formed
with shew-threads to screw into the limbs of the forks, wherein they are then
clamped fast. This arrangement allows of the joints being readily put together
and taken apart.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. Flat sifting apparatus in which the shaking sieve is suspended by rods whose
pouts of suspension, and also whose points of attachment to the sieve, are formed
by universal joints as set forth.
2 Flat sifting apparatus of the kind referred to in the preceding claim in which

page_text: the ends of the forks of the universal joints are split and serve to clamp the pins
or journals which engage crosswise in the centre piece that connects the two forks
of the joint together, substantially as described and shewn.
