Dressing Flour.
I, FERDINAND BOSSHARDT, of the firm of F. Bosshardt & Co., of 4 Corporation
Street, Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Patent Agents, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention which has been communicated to me from abroad by Philippe
Alexandre Outrequin, of Orléans in the Republic of France, Builder, to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of reels, for bolting,
sifting, and dressing flour, and has for its object to utilize more of the circumference
or covering of the reel, cause the same to act more beneficially upon the flour, to
dispense with the longitudinal rods or bars used for the framework, and polygonal
section of such reel, as heretofore has been the case.
To this end I form a reel, the covering of which, shall be circular in section and
not polygonal.
This attain by mounting a suitable number of rings or discs, wholly or partly
composed of iron or wood, upon an axle.
These rings or discs, are near their centres, formed with arms so as to form an
opening which will permit the substance to pass from one compartment or end of the
reel to the other.
These rings or discs are suitably fastened onto the axle and form the frame
of the reel and support for the bolting cloth, which is suitably fixed thereto.
There being no longitudinal rods or bars employed, the substance to be treated will
not meet with any impediment, and will be more beneficially affected.

page_text: I, FERDINAND BOSSHARDT of the firm of F. Bosshardt & Co. of 4 Corporation
Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Patent Agents, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention which has been communicated to me from abroad by
Philippe Alexandre Outrequin, of Orléans, in the Republic of France, Builder, and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of reels for bolting,
sifting, and dressing flour, and has for its object to utilize more of the circum-
ference or covering of the reel, cause the same to act more beneficially upon the
flour, to dispense with the longitudinal rods or bars used for the framework, and
polygonal section of such reel, than heretofore has been the case.
To this end I form a reel, the covering of which shall be circular in section and
not polygonal.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to be
appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference indicating
like parts in the figures.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation and
Fig. 2 a cross section of my improved reel for bolting, sifting, and dressing flour.
In carrying out my invention I mount a suitable number of rings or
discs 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 61, wholly or partly composed of iron or wood upon an
axle c.
These rings or discs 6, 61, 61, 61, 6, 6, 6 are near their centres formed with arms d
so as to form openings which will permit the substance to pass from one compartment,
or end of the reel, to the other.
These rings or discs 6, 6, 6, 6III, 6, 6, 61, are preferably fastened onto the wooden
block a provided at each end with an axle c, which forms the frame of the machine,
and support for the bolting cloth, which latter is suitably fixed thereto, and joined in
the usual manner at f.
If deemed necessary the said rings or discs b, 61, 6, 6, 6, 6º, 6º, may be stayed
by means of rods d, near the covering of the reel.
There being no longitudinal rods or bars employed, the substance to be treated will
not meet with any impediment, and will be more beneficially affected, viz., the reel
will produce a better quality and larger quantity of flour.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In reels for bolting, sifting, and dressing flour, of circular section, dispensing with
or removing the longitudinal bar on which the covering rests, from the latter, so as to
obtain a clear course, and thus greater amount of working surface in the reel, sub-
stantially as set forth.
