Improvements in Apparatus employed in the Treatment of
Oleaginous and other Seeds.
I ALEXANDRE PAGET, of 45 Rue Saint-Sebastien, Paris, in the Republic
of France, Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improvements the subject of this invention relate to apparatus employed in
the treatment of oleaginous and other seeds, and they are particularly directed to
the part of these apparatus intended for extraction and to the apparatus or extractor,
termed the "Paget Extractor."
27
The "Paget
extractor is composed of a vessel formed of one or of several
sections preferably circular superposed the one upon the other, the lower one
carrying ears or cleats to receive the axles upon which are mounted the wheels
permitting the apparatus to be run upon a railway to facilitate its manipulation.
Each section comprises a metal ring having a resistance calculated to support the
various pressures to which the sections are destined to be submitted for the
extraction of the oleaginous and other matters.
In the sections hereinafter termed rings, a series of vertical holes serve to
bring the extracted products into a collector which is in the bottom ring; this
collector is on an inclined plane in order to facilitate the discharge, by a cock into
a receiver of any kind.
Further, on each ring concentric grooves are formed, more or less close together
and of suitable section, which open into vertical orifices. On the inner face of these
grooves metallic wires are applied, they are placed side by side completely lining
the inside of the rings and thus covering the aforesaid grooves.
The method of attaching these wires is very simple; it consists simply in curving
the two ends into a groove formed at the intersection of each ring; for greater
strength they may if desired be soldered.
Each ring has a male and female tenon or dovetail joint, to permit the rings to
be superposed without shifting about and so that their axes are on the same line in
order that a presser-plate may slide in the annular space formed by the whole of
the section or rings without striking against the edges of any of them, which
would happen if they were not held by the above mentioned joint.
The presser-plate forms part of the extractor; and is guided therein by three
longitudinal fillets to prevent the wear which might be produced upon the wires by
the friction of this plate.
To use this extractor it is sufficient to fill it with materials or matters to be
treated, bring it by the railway, laid for this purpose, under a hydraulic press from
which the presser-plate will have been removed, and, on working the piston of the
press, it will act upon the presser-plate of the extractor and this latter pressing on the
inaterials, extracts their content which passes by the points of contact of the metallic
wires, escapes by the aforesaid grooves, runs off by the orifices into the collector
and issues finally by the cock.
I desire it to be understood that my extractor may be constructed of any shape
and dimensions and be formed of any number of sections or rings. Further, that
the nature of the materials used in the fitting of its several constituent parts may be
varied as may he found desirable.

Improvements in Apparatus employed in the Treatment of
Oleaginous and other Seeds.
I ALEXANDRE PAGET of 45 Rue Saint Sebastien, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Machinist, 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 :-
The improvements the subject of this invention relate to apparatus employed in
the treatment of oleaginous and other seeds, and they are particularly directed to
the part of the apparatus intended for extraction and to the apparatus or extractor,
termed the " Paget Extractor," and represented on the annexed drawing upon
which:-
Figure 1 is a vertical section, to a scale of ", of the apparatus in question.
Figure 2 is a corresponding plan view thereof partly in section, partly in exterior
view.
The 66
Paget" extractor is composed of a vessel formed of one or of several
sections preferably circular rings R superposed the one upon the other, the lower
one carrying ears or cleats G to receive the axles upon which are mounted the
wheels permitting the apparatus to be run upon a railway V to facilitate its
manipulation.
Each section R comprises a metal ring having a resistance calculated to support
the various pressures to which the sections are destined to be submitted for the
extraction of the oleaginous and other matters.
In these sections hereinafter termed rings, a series of vertical holes T serve to
bring the extracted products into a collector C which is in the bottom ring; this
collector is on an inclined plane in order to facilitate the discharge by a cock B
into a receiver of any kind.
Further, on each ring concentric grooves S are formed, more or less close together
and of suitable section, which open into the vertical orifices T. On the inner face
of these grooves metallic wires F are applied they are placed side by side com-
pletely lining the inside of the rings R and thus covering the aforesaid grooves S.
The method of attaching these wires is very simple; it consists simply in curving
the two ends into a groove formed at the intersection of each ring for greater
strength they may if desired be soldered.
Each ring has a male and female tenon or dove tail joint, to permit the rings to
be superposed without shifting and so that their axis are in the same line in order
that a presser-plate P may slide in the annular space formed by the whole of the
sections or rings without striking against the edges of any of them, which would
happen if they were not held by the above mentioned joint.
The presser-plate P forms part of the extractor; and is guided therein by three
longitudinal fillets X to prevent the wear which might be produced. upon the wires
by the friction of this plate.
To use this extractor it is sufficient to fill it with materials or matters to be
treated, bring it by the railway V, laid for this purpose, under a bydraulic press
from which the presser-plate will have been removed, and, on working the piston of
the press, it will act upon the presser-plate P of the extractor and this latter
pressing on the materials, extracts their contents which passes by the points of
contact of the metallic wires F, escapes by the aforesaid grooves S runs off by the
orifices T into the collector C and issues finally by the cock B.
I desire it to be understood that my extractor may be constructed of any
shape and dimensions and be formed of any number of sections or rings R.
Further, that the nature of the materials and in the fitting of its several con-
stituent parts may be varied as may be found desirable.

page_text: 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 :-
An extractor for oleaginous and other substances formed of any number of
sections or jointed rings and supported upon a carriage; the said sections being
essentially characterised by vertical holes, concentric grooves opening into the
said holes, and metallic wires placed side by side lining the interior of these
sections upon which they clip in grooves or recesses provided for that purpose.
This extractor working in combination with a presser-plate suitably guided in
the superposed sections or rings and the extracted juice flowing into a collector
and out by a cock in the manner set forth with reference to the accompanying
drawing.
