FLOAT FOR DELIN'IERS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 17, 1910.
Patented Jan. 23, 1912. Serial No. 567,526.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE L. BLANCH- ARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yoakum, in the county of De Witt and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Floats for Delinters, of which-the following is a specification.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in floats for delinters.
The object of the invention is to provide a float for removing the lint from cotton seed in an expeditious manner and one which will have a greater capacity and operate with more rapidity than those commonly in use, and constitutes an improvement over a similar device patented to me on January 25, 1910, Patent Number 947,367.
Another feature of the invention resides in the provision of a revolving part having an abrading surface acting in conjunction with retarding means.
With the above and other objects in View, the invention has relation to certain novel features of construction and operation, an example of which is described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is an elevation of a linter with the breast of the casing removed to show the underlying construction. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the lower portion of the linter, with the breast of the casing secured thereon, Fig. 3, is a transverse vertical sectional view of the upper portion of the linter taken on the line aa of Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 is an elevation of the float and its operative means.
Referring now more particularly, to the drawings, wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures, the numeral 1 designates the linter casing,.which is composed of suitable end members and a removable breast hingedly secured to the end members. Within this casing the usual ribs 2, saws 3, and fingers 4, are arranged to perform their ordinary functions. 5 fixed on a shaft 6. This float is cylindrical in form and is preferably formed in sections, for ease in construction, and has a rough, abrading surface 7. This float is supported in a cylindrical frame 8, formed at each end with hollow trunnions 9 through which, the shaft 6 projects. These trunnions are mounted to revolve in the end In the casing I mount a float members of casing 1. At the left hand side the trunnion 9 extends beyond the casing and has fixed thereon a pulley 10 which is driven by a belt 11. At the right hand side of F igs. 1 and 2, it will be noticed that the shaft 6 extends beyond the trunnion and carries a pulley 12, which is driven by a belt 13. The pulley 10 is driven in the same direction but at a lesser rate of speed than the pulley 12 which causes the frame and the float to revolve in the same direction but at different rates of speed, owing to the relative rates of the revolutions of their pulleys. It is essential that the float, revolve 1o faster than the frame.
The surface of the float is roughened or coated with a suitable abrasive material with which the cotton seed contacts during the operation of the linter, and the frame is provided with a plurality of bars 14, equally spaced therearound and extending from one end thereof to the other. One of these bars extends directly longitudinal and the others are given a slight spiral direction and are arranged so that each one will spiral in the opposite direction from the one next to it. These bars are suitably braced by means of ribs 15 which are secured thereto as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.
When the cottonseed is fed into the casing from the hopper 16, it is caught and carried around by the frame and float, the abrasive surface removing the cotton from the seed and delivering it to the saws. It will be noted that the bars 14 tend to catch the seed-and support them about the float during the operation of the same, and effectually subject them to its abrading action, and the peculiar spiraling of the bars operates to distribute the seed evenly along the float and discharge them uniformly from the linter. The float revolving considerably faster than the frame it is obvious that the passage of the seeds around 1 and past the float is retarded or the seeds retained in contact with the rapidly revolving float a suflicient time to thoroughly carry out the abrading action and increase the capacity of the float.
The breast of casing 1 is provided with laterally projecting studs 17 which operate in corresponding recesses 18 in the end members of the casing and thus provide a hinge connection between said breast and 11 end members. Projecting laterally from the free edge thereof are the extensions 19,
through which the screws 20 extend and engage with corresponding extensions 21 carried by the end members of the casing so that by the manipulation of these screws the position of the breast of the casing relative to the float may be regulated.
What I claim, is
1. A device of the character described including a rotatably mounted cylindrical body having an abra-ding surface, a frame mounted to revolve about the body and carrying a number of bars spiraled longitudinally thereof and in opposite directions, adjacent to the surface of the body, means for rotating same frame and body in the same direction and at different rates of speed, a casing for said cylindrical body and frame composed of end members and a front member and means for regulatlng the position of the front member relative to the said frame and body.
2. A device of the character described including a rotatably mounted cylindrical body having an abrading surface, a frame mounted to revolve about the body and carrying a number of bars spiraled longitudinally thereof and in opposite directions, adjacent to the surface of the body, and means for rotating said frame and body in the same direction and at different rates of speed.
3. A device of the character described including a rotatably mounted cylindrical body having an abrading surface, a frame adjacent to the surface of the body, mounted to revolve about the body and carrying a number of bars spiraled longitudinally thereof and in opposite directions, and also a plurality of bars extending directly longitudinally thereof and means for rotating said frame and body in the same direction and at different rates of speed. 1
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
