PATENT OFFICE.

In the case of the No. 16373 patented washing machine, the drum α rotating around a horizontal axis is retained for the preliminary cleaning of the fruit. In order to save operating power, the same can be replaced by a vibrating drum tt from the accompanying drawing. The construction of the drum is very similar to that of the wash basin b b.

The bottom of the drum consists of bars BEZW. Sieve plate through which dust, dirt, etc. fall through. The frame of the same can either form an uninterrupted wall or also be made of rods, for which the profile shown under A is particularly suitable in the arrangement as in ζ. Advantageously, instead of simple rods, rollers are used for the frames, which consist of a round rod as an axis and a piece of pipe (profile B) . When the washing objects hit them, a rotating movement occurs in the rollers, which serves to remove the dirt immediately. The vibrating drum /, in which one or more agitating arms χ move horizontally over the vibrating floor, can be set up vertically above the washing drum b or to the side of the same, but slightly elevated. In the first case, the agitator arms χ sit on the same vertical shaft e, which also carries the impact arms or blades gg _{x of} the wash basin; The wash basin must also be provided with a completely closing, conical cover u , which keeps the dust and dirt falling through the sieve bottom from t.

In the laterally raised formation PUFA shaking drum their particular wave e have _t, which communicates with the main drive shaft / through bevel gears in combination. A cover of the wash basin is only necessary as far as the vibrating drum protrudes over it; on the other hand, bearings and wheels are to be protected by a sheet metal η.

The transfer of the fruits to be washed from the drum t into the washing basin b takes place by means of the gutter v, which is attached either in the sieve bottom or in the frame of t and directs the fruits to the central part of b. This gutter should be closable by a slider γ in order to let a batch of fruit roll around in the drum until the cleaning is sufficient.

The wash basin is divided by a circular wall or frame w into a central space and an outer space concentric to it. The sieve bottom of the former is somewhat higher than the rod bottom cc of the outer part of the wash basin.

Two paddle or agitator arms g and g ₁ move, the first in the central area, the other in the outer area of the wash basin.

Claims (5)

The wall w has an opening or breakthrough at α β through which the fruits can pass and are driven by the arm g. The exit from b takes place through the drive of gy at d either downwards or in the horizontal direction after the box k, in which the blades s s move. The arrangement of the gutter v, the opening α β, the arms g and g1 and the outlet opening d is such that the materials falling at ν, driven through g, pass at least 3/4 of the circumference before they find a way out at α , then go through at least 5/6 of the circumference again from α β before they can cross over at d to k, which way out can also be blocked very easily by a slide to be attached at ö1 or the sieve plate d for a number of turns. The walls of the wash basin, against which the fruits to be washed clash, and the side walls of the box k are lined with hurdles or mats, which are woven in such a way that they have a brush-like rough side and serve to remove the dirt from the fiber roots. PATENT CLAIMS: 1. The vibrating drum t with sieve bottom and agitator arms and either full frame or frame consisting of rods or rollers, as a replacement for the sieve drum a. 2. In connection with this, the drain v, which can be closed by a slide, which leads the pre-cleaned fruits to the central part of the washing drum b . 3. The separation of this central part of the washing drum b from the outer part by the wall or frame w provided with an overflow opening, in connection with a separate arrangement of the stirring arms of the central and outer parts of the washing basin. 4. v The described washing machine, the arrangement of the gutter, the side passage opening α β and the lateral) Austrittsöffnnng d in such a manner, the washing objects dais of ν by α by at least _^2/3, by β according to d by at least _^5/6 of the Be driven in a circle by means of the arms g and g _1. 5. The lining of the inside of the walls of the wash basin and the outlet box with brush-like materials. For this purpose I sheet drawings.
