PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cut Chaff or Fodder and Grain Cleaners and
Separators.
I, JOHN DIBBS of Ferrensby House, Waterloo Street, Harrogate, Hay Straw
and Corn Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in machines for cleaning cut chaff,
fodder and grain described in Specification for Patent No. 22092 A.D. 1893.
The object of this invention is to make provision for the diversion of any return
blast which may escape from the sides of the baffle plate, to the outlet from which
the impurities are discharged, and remove all liability of any loose dust or dirt
which may have been already separated, being returned thereby to the cleansed cut
chaff or fodder as it leaves the machine.
I accomplish this by making the sides of the casing of the machine (which are
detachable for the purpose of cleaning) of box form, the whole or part of the
length of which I cover with perforated sheet metal or wire gause. By this means
any return blast escaping from the sides of the baffle plate, carries the dust or dirt
which it contains through the perforated metal or wire gause on the box shaped
sides which convey it to the dust or dirt expelled from the first compartment of
the cylinder to be discharged from the machine therewith.
Dated this Twelfth day of February 1896.
JOHN DIBBS.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cut Chaff or Fodder and Grain Cleaners and
Separators.
I JOHN DIBBS of Ferrensby House, Waterloo Street Harrogate Hay Straw
and Corn Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention aud 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 improvements in machines for cleaning cut chaff or
fodder and grain cleaners and separators described in Specification for Patent
No. 220923.
In machines of this make a portion of the already separated dust or dirt
has sometimes been diverted by the return blast and escaped from the machine
with the cleansed cut chaff or fodder. The object of this invention is to make
provision for the diversion of any return blast which may escape from the sides of
the baffle plate to the outlet from which the impurities separated in the first and
second compartments of the cylinder are discharged and remove all liability of

page_text: any loose dust or dirt which has been already separated being returned to the
cleansed cut chaff or fodder as it leaves the machine.
I accomplish this by making the sides of the casing of the machine (which are
detachable for the purpose of cleaning) of box form the whole or part of the length
of which I cover with perforated sheet metal or wire gause. By this means any
return blast escaping from the sides of the baffle plate is diverted (carrying any
loose dust or dirt which it may contain) through this perforated metal or wire
gause into the box behind from whence it is conveyed by means of a spout or
passage to the same outlet which discharges the dust or dirt previously extracted
from the cut chaff or fodder.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
The box shaped sides partly or wholely covered with perforated metal or wire
gause in combination with the spout or passage substantially as and for the purpose
herein set forth.
