Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
This new system of pulveriser based like many others upon the action of centrifugal
force is distinguished from them by the following
In other pulverisers "Carr," "Wapart," "Anduze," &c. the matters by the action
of centrifugal force are projected against resisting walls against which they are broken.
This pulveriser presents the peculiarity that the matters are broken the one against the
other.
To be fully understood let us imagine a glass thrown against a wall, it will be
broken, if this be continued the wall will be worn away. But if by a combination
the projecting of two glasses one against the other be accomplished, it is evident that
when they collide they will be more completely broken without anything else being
injured.
Starting from this principle the pulveriser represented by the drawing is
constructed.

The part forming the frame and at the same time the enclosure carries the

The pulleys are so arranged that the 2 cones are carried by the bearings e e

The part between the bearings forms the pulley. The cones a and a¹ turn in
different directions. The bearings e and e are cast with the frame. The bearings e¹
and e¹ connected by a sole furnished with a lug c are moveable by means of the
screw g
and by traversing them more or less distance is obtained between the cones a
and a. When the distance is adjusted the cone a¹ is fixed by means of the screw d
engaging with the lug c.
The matters to be pulverised are introduced into the hoppers J J and passing
through the pulleys of the cones are carried into the said cones by centrifugal force,
the matters mount to the circumference of the cones acquiring a high velocity and
those from the two cones meet with contrary velocities.
The part L is the opening by which the pulverised matters are collected.
The distinctive character of this pulveriser is thus the arrangement of two boxes
either conical or otherwise turning in opposite directions in such manner that the
matters introduced into the boxes are submitted first to a centrifugal force which
commences the disintegration then to the action of reciprocal collision which occasions
the breaking up and pulverisation of the matters the one by the other.
From this explanation it will be evident.
1. That matters of all sorts may be pulverised without injury to the apparatus.
2. That according to the distance of the cones products of different sizes can be
obtained.
3. That the apparatus requires no cleaning.
4. That there is great simplicity, the working parts being but three in number.

Improvements in Pulverisers.
We, CLAUDE DÉSIRÉ GOUBET 32 rue de Courselles Paris Engineer, ALEXANDER
SCHANSCHIEFF of Clifton Villa The Avenue Upper Norwood Surrey Electrical
Engineer and CHRISTOPHER AKERS of 14 Suffolk Road South Norwood Surrey
Gentleman 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 new system of pulveriser, based like many others upon the action of centrifugal
force, is distinguished from them by the following:
-
In other pulverisers "Carr," "Wapart," "Anduize" &c., the matters by the action
of centrifugal force are projected against resisting walls against which they are
broken. This pulveriser presents the peculiarity that the matters are broken the one
against the other.
To be fully understood let us imagine a glass thrown against a wall, it will be
broken, if this be continued the wall will be worn away. But if by a combination
the projecting of two glasses one against the other be accomplished, it is evident that
when they collide they will be more completely broken without anything else being
injured.
Starting from this principle the pulveriser represented by the drawing left with our
Provisional Specification is constructed.
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation and Figure 2 is an end view.
The part
forming the frame and at the same time the enclosure carries the
2 cones a and a¹ which are formed of a piece with the pulleys b b¹.
The pulleys are so arranged that the 2 cones are carried by the bearings e e
and e¹ e¹.
The part between the bearings forms the pulley. The cones a and a turn in
different directions. The bearings e and e are cast with the frame. The bearings e¹
and e¹ connected by a sole furnished with a lug c are moveable by means of the
screw g and by traversing them more or less distance is obtained between the
cones a and a¹. When the distance is adjusted the cone a¹ is fixed by means of
the screw d engaging with the lug c.
The matters to be pulverised are introduced into the hoppers J J and passing
through the pulleys of the cones are carried into the said cones by centrifugal force,
the matters mount to the circumference of the cones acquiring a high velocity and
those from the two cones meet with contrary velocities.
The part L is the opening by which the pulverised matters are collected.
The distinctive character of this pulveriser is thus the arrangement of two boxes
either conical or otherwise turning in opposite directions in such manner that the
matters introduced into the boxes are submitted first to a centrifugal force which
commences the disintegration then to the action of reciprocal collision which
occasions the breaking up and pulverisation of the matters the one by the other.
From this explanation it will be evident.
1. That matters of all sorts may be pulverized without injury to the apparatus.
2. That according to the distance of the cones products of different sizes can be

page_text: 3. That the apparatus requires no cleaning.
4. That there is great simplicity, the working parts being but three in number.
The pulveriser may as is shown by the partial section Figure 3 carry upon the
periphery of each cone saw bladess fixed by screws also triangular knives to tear soft
materials such as rags felt &c. &c.
Spirals within the cones may be so applied to guide the inaterials.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
1. A pulveriser substantially as described in which the material is introduced into
two cones or boxes which impart to it rotary motion in opposite directions and in
which the material so made to travel in opposite directions is caused to collide as
herein set forth.
2. A pulveriser substantially as represented by the annexed drawings.
