IMPROVEMENTS IN SUGAR CANE MILLS
Year: 1885

page_text: "
I, GEORGE FLETCHER, of Masson Works, Litchurch, in the county of Derby,
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN SUGAR CANE MILLS" to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in that' class of four-roller sugar cane
mills referred to in the specification of Letters Patent N° 5494 granted to Francis
Murray Rogers, dated the 23rd November 1883 the present improvements having
for object to render the erecting and taking to pieces of the various parts of the
mill more easy than hitherto.
In carrying out the invention the side frames or standards of the mill are so
arranged that the bottom roller may be withdrawn without taking the other rollers
or the standards down.
For this purpose the side frames or standards are constructed with a moveable
piece for supporting the bottom roller trunnions and bearings; the space set free by
removing this loose piece from the side frames or standards is large enough to
allow the bottom roller to be withdrawn through it so that it is not necessary to
take down the side frames.
The adjustment of the bearings of the three outer rolls is obtained by means of
bolts actuating wedges working against the said bearings.

I GEORGE FLETCHER, of Masson Works Litchurch in the county of Derby,
Engineer 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 invention relates to improvements in that class of four roller sugar cane
mills referred to in the specification of Letters Patent N° 5,494, granted. to Francis
Murray Rodgers, dated the 23rd November 1883 the present improvements having
for object to render the erecting and taking to pieces of the various parts of the
mill more easy than hitherto.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same
by reference, to the accompanying drawing in which figure 1 represents a front
elevation and figure 2 an end elevation of a sugar cane mill constructed according
to my invention. Similar letters in both the figures represent similar parts.
In carrying out the invention the side frames or standards of the mill are so
arranged that the bottom roller may be withdrawn without taking the other rollers
or the standards down.
.
For this purpose the side frames or standards marked A on the accompanying
drawing are constructed with a moveable piece B for supporting the bottom roller
trunnions C and bearings; the space set free by removing this loose piece from
the side frames or standards is large enough to allow the bottom roller D to be
withdrawn through it so that it is not necessary to take down the side frames.
The adjustment of the bearings of the three outer rolls D, E, F, is obtained by
means of bolts actuating wedges G working against the said bearings.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
"
1. In sugar cane mills the arrangement of side frames or standards substantially
as and for the purpose described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
2. In sugar cane mills the arrangement of wedges and bolts whereby the
bearings of the outer rollers can be slackened or tightened up substantially as
herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
