IMPROVEMENTS IN KNEADING MACHINES
Year: 1885

page_text: I, PETER FAZAKERLEY of Rainhill in the county of Lancaster, Provision Dealer
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN KNEADING
MACHINES to be as follows:-
The object is to provide a simple and efficient machine for kneading or mixing
sponge or dough in the manufacture of bread, biscuits, or the like, so made that
the same machine may be readily used for kneading different qualities of sponge
or dough.
The invention relates to machines in which kneaders or mixers rotate on vertical
axes, consists essentially in the combination with duplex driving gear of detachable
kneaders or mixers and movable containers.
A machine under my invention is advantageously constructed as follows:-
A frame of two uprights and a cross bar carries a horizontal driving shaft which
gears by means of bevelled wheels with two vertical driven spindles. To the
lower end of each spindle is attached by any suitable locking device such as a
slotted collar and pin, bayonet joint, nut and clip or its equivalent a kneader or
mixer. The said kneader or mixer consists preferably of prongs depending from a
suitable arm or collar, other forms of kneaders or mixers may be used if desired.
The containers are elliptical or thereabouts in horizontal section with vertical or
nearly vertical sides.
In use the container is filled with the materials to be kneaded or mixed and is
run under the cross bar between the uprights of the frame. The kneaders or
mixers are then inserted in the container, attached by the locking devices to the
spindles and are caused to rotate. When the materials have been sufficiently
acted on the kneaders or mixers are detached from the spindles and taken out of
the container: the container is then removed and another substituted.

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:-

Buitable arm or collar, other forms of kneaders or mixers may be used if desired.
The containers are elliptical or thereabouts in horizontal section with vertical or

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a machine under my invention, fig. 2 is a plan of
part of the machine. a are uprights connected by a cross bar b to form a frame,
c horizontal driving shaft carried by bearings d on the cross bar b. On the shaft c
are bevel wheels e which gear with bevel wheels on vertical spindles f. The
spindles fare carried in bearings g on the cross bar b. To each spindle fis attached
the kneader or mixer h here consisting of dependent prongs. The attachment of
the kneaders to the spindles is made by means of slots i and nuts j, other means of
attachment which allows of ready removal and connection of the kneaders and
mixers may be used are set bolts for holding the frame and container /* in
position.
In use the container is filled with materials to be kneaded or mixed, and is run
under the cross bar between the uprights of the frame. The kneaders or mixers
are then inserted in the container, attached by the locking devices to the spindles
and are caused to rotate. When the materials have been sufficiently acted on the
kneaders or mixers are detached from the spindles and taken out of the container,
the container is then removed and another substituted.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
First. Kneading machines constructed substantially as herein set forth.
Second. Kneading machines with duplex driving gear and detachable kneaders
substantially as set forth.
