JOHN HENRY CLARK Gamekeeper and Pheasant food manufacturer, Kennels
Hewell near Redditch do hereby declare the nature of this my invention for
BLOWERS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF FINELY POWDERED MIXTURES to be as
follows:-
I take a pair of bellows of a size most suitable for my purpose in the top of
which is bored a hole for the accumulated air to escape, on the said bellows I fix a
circular shaped body at one end of which is a cone extending outwards and at the
other end a pipe for the mixture when agitated by the blast to escape inside
the said body I fix a pipe or tube one end of which is brought through the bottom
of the circular shaped body and passes into the said hole of bellows the other end
of pipe or tube is fixed into a cone the end of the pipe coming through the centre
of said cone and which is opposite the centre of exterior cone and into which said
cone the blast is directed and rebounding with force passes between the two said
cones gathers up the powder and drives it through the end or outward pipe in the
direction desired.

I JOHN HENRY CLARK, Game-keeper and Pheasant Food Manufacturer, Kennels
Hewell Hall near Redditch, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
I take a pair of Bellows of a size most suitable for my purpose, in the top of
which is bored a hole for the accumulated air to escape. On the said bellows I fix
a circular shaped body, at one end of which is a cone extending outwards, and at
the other end a pipe for the mixture when agitated by the blast to escape; inside
the said body I fix a pipe or tube one end of which is brought through the bottom
of the circular shaped body and passes into the said hole of bellows the other end
of pipe or tube is fixed into a cone; the end of this pipe coming through the centre
of said cone of which is opposite the centre of exterior cone and into which said cone
the blast is directed and rebounding with force passes between the two said cones,
gathers up the powder and drives it through the end or outward pipe in the
direction desired.
And in order that this my said Invention may more clearly be understood I have
prepared the accompanying sheet of drawings by the aid of which I will proceed
to describe it more particularly.
Similar letters of reference denote similar parts in every figure where they
occur.
Fig. 1. is a side elevation.
Fig. 2. is an end view (Pipe end).
Fig. 3. is a longitudinal section, the bellows are being pressed together as
indicated by the arrows outside, the bellows valve is of course closed, but the dotted
lines shew its position when open.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the end of Pipe.
a is the bellows, b the bottom with inlet wind aperture b¹, and valve b³ closed
c is the top provided with the hole c¹ d is the body affixed to c of a, by means of
the screws e, or other suitable fastening. f is the end of same taking the form of
acone (for the purpose to be hereinafter described); g is the pipe with upturned
mouth piece g¹ connected at g³ by the parts, being screwed interiorly and exteriorly,
the object being that when this Invention is in application either a straight pipe or
curved one may be used which is found most suitable, h is the pipe or tube one
end screwed to the body d, and passing into a through c¹ the other end receiving
the conical form i, which is fixed a certain distance from the coned form f-j is a
funnel for filling d with the powdered mixture and is a screwed top for same.
When pressure is applied to d and b as Fig. 3, the current of wind takes the
course indicated by the arrows along h, and passing between and around the conical
forms f, and i, enter the body d and disturbs or agitates the powdered mixture;
the pressure being continued the said powder is carried out a g, or g¹ (which ever
may be employed) and distributed for the purpose above set forth.

page_text: One object I attain is the prevention of the powdered mixture escaping from its
position in the body.
I do not confine myself absolutely to the shape configuration or arrangement of
parts shewn on the accompanying drawings or described in this Specification but
hold myself at liberty to vary them while not departing essentially from this my
said invention.
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
1st The construction of a body the one end of which is formed as a cone and
the other end carrying a pipe with a pipe or tube in the interior of said body
connected to the bellows at one end, and at the other carrying the cone for the
purpose herein-before described.
2nd The construction combination or arrangement of parts the whole forming
"Improvements in blowers for the distribution of finely powdered mixture for
disinfectant and other purposes" substantially as berein-before set forth and
illustrated.
