I, JOSEPH BIBBY, of Fleet Square Mills, Lancaster, in the County of Lancashire,
Manufacturer of Foods for Cattle, 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 :-
This Invention relates to certain improvements in or applicable to the manu-
facture of linseed cotton and all kinds of feed cakes for cattle, the especial object
of the improvements being to afford a ready means of dividing or breaking up the
cake into even portions of such size and quantity as may be convenient or
desirable.
To this end, the Invention consists, essentially, in so moulding or forming the
cake as that it shall be of less thickness at some part or parts, that or those where
it is required to be broken across or divided, than at the other part or parts.
The Invention is susceptible of being carried into effect in a great variety of
ways and by various means, but according to an arrangement which has been found
to possess great convenience and to be of considerable advantage, the mould in
which the cake is compounded or shaped is so formed or adapted with fixed or
removable divisions of a less depth than the thickness of the cake material as that
such divisions will or can be caused to cut or pierce partly through the substance
of the cake for any desired depth.
Such divisions may be arranged so as to operate on only one side of the cake
leaving the other side plain, or so as to operate on both sides thereof, and they may
be parallel, and opposite or intermediate if on opposite sides, or at right angles or
across each other, or may be otherwise disposed as to give the divisions required in
accordance with the size or shape or quantity of the material to be divided or
broken off.
An example of an advantageous way of carrying this Invention into effect is
illustrated on the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 represents a plan view,
and Fig. 2 a sectional elevation, and in which, 1, represents the cake, and, 2, series
of cross cuts made therein, and of a nature suitable for the purpose indicated.
In another modification of carrying the Invention into effect the cake may be
partly pierced through with lines of holes instead of being formed with continuous
depressions as in the modification illustrated, the object in both cases being to

page_text: weaken the cake along the lines of depressions or perforations in such a manner as
to permit of its being readily broken up by hand into conveniently sized pieces.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim is
The hereinbefore described improvements in or applicable to the manufacture of
feed cakes for cattle, such improvements consisting in piercing cutting or otherwise
equivalently dividing either or both surfaces of the cake across and for any
required depth in the substance of the cake, substantially as and for the purposes
specified.
