Improvements in Sausage Filling Machines.
1 WILHELM SCHEFFEL of Mülheim near Cologne Rhenish Prussia, Germany
Manufacturer 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:-
My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in sausage filling machines,
which allows the labourer to fill the cylinder conveniently again without being
disturbed by the gearing of the machine.
It consists in the arrangement of the cylinder, so that it may be brought out of
reach of the gearing and stands perfectly convenient for new filling.
On the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 shows the machine in working state;
Figure 2 shows the machine the cylinder ready for being filled;
Figure 3 is a plan of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a plan of Figure 2;
Figure 5 shows the lower part of the cylinder in section ;
Figures 6 and 7 are details of construction.
The machine consists of a frame A, to which are fixed two columns B and B
carrying a bracket C for taking up the gearing by which the piston is moved up
and down. For this purpose the bracket C is provided with two side brackets D,
G
in which are journalled the first motion shaft E and the two counter spindles F,
with their pinions and spur wheels H, I, K, L, M fixed to them and gearing into
each other and with the rack P, so that by turning the handle N, the pressure
piston may be raised or lowered. Centrally to the piston O, between the
columns B, is arranged the cylinder Q, standing on the frame A of the machine.
The cylinder is held at its upper and lower part by hinges S & T, the first one
surrounding the column B', whilst the other one leans against the column only.
By means of these hinges the cylinder can be turned round the column B' into the
position shown by Figures 2 and 4 and at the same time it is raised a little from
its seat to facilitate the drawing it out.
For this object the lower hinge T has at its lower side a small step R, standing
upon the shoulder B of the column B', the face of which shoulder forms part of a
screw thread, so that by turning the cylinder Q it is forced at the same time to rise
a little. By this means the movement of the cylinder may be done very easily.
For fixing it in the open and closed position, Figure 1 and 2 and 3 and +
respectively, notches are cut into the screw thread at the corresponding places and
into these notches the step is held fast preventing arbitrary movement of the
cylinder.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :
In sausage filling machines, for filling the cylinder conveniently, the arrangement
for bringing it out of reach of the gearing of the machine, consisting in that, that
two hinges S aud T are fixed to the cylinder which can be turned by means of
them round the column B' and at the same time raised a littly by means of a step R
standing upon the face of the shoulder B' of the column B'; notches being cut

preventing the arbitrary movement of the cylinder.
