J. BAUMAN. CIDER MILL AND PRESS.
No. 11,151. Patented June'27,- 1854.
' UNITED sratrns PATENT org es. {1;
JESSE BAUMAN, OF SHEPHERDSTOIVN, PENNSYLVANIA.
CIDER-MILL.
. Specification of Letters Patent No. 11,151, dated June 2'7, 1854.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JESSE BAU AN, of
Shepherdstown, in the county of Cumber land and State of Pennsylvania, have invented anewand useful Improvement in Cider-Hills; and I do her-ebydecjlare that the following is a full, .clear,.and exact de scription of the same, reference belng had.
to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, jinf which Figure 1 is an'elevation; Fig. 2, a top view of the grinding plate, thetop of the machine removed; Fig. 3, a portion of the top of the machine; Fig. 4, asection of the secondary mill.
The nature of my improvement consists, first in so constructing a mill for grinding apples, that it shall perfectly reduce them to a pulp (a condition absolutely required to make the most cider out of a given quantity of apples,) and freely receive the feed from the hopper, and retain the apples between the grinding surfaces without the necessity of previous sliclng required in other mills to secure that object, and secondly in so arranging the pressing with the grinding apparatus, that the production of cider may be completed at one operation, and requiring no other attention than that the supply should be kept up in the hoppers, thus avoiding a vast amount of labor in handling the soft pomace in subjecting it to a press in large quantities, to say nothing of the impurities consequently arising Without great care. This mill :is equally applicable to grinding peaches. l i
To enable others skilled in the art to construct and use my invention I will describe the construction a-nd operation of the mill and press.
In the drawings the representation is of one adapted to horse power although it is equally applicable to a.hand machine, particularly, when the grinding portion is con structed as represented in the secondary mill.
In a suitably constructed frame is placed the vertical driving shaft A on which the sweep is secured. This shaft carries a bevel wheel gear B actuating the secondary grinding 'mill or cylinder.
C, C, is a horizontal grinding wheel or plate, securedon A, its upper surface divided into four planes, the ridges 41, thereof radial from the shaft A and the planes declining toward (Z. These planes are furnished with spikes or teeth for'raspingtthef fruit. 1
D, D, (in dotted line Fig. 1,) arespringsi secured on the underside of the top of the machine, and are for the purpose of keep-g ing the apples in contact withthe teeth and planes of C, C, being provided with a shoulder for retaining the fruituhtil reduced-ate. a pulp or pomace. 1 a g ,1 .E E, Figs. 1 and 3, are holesiforith apples, to pass from a hopper placed on the top of themachine; F F, a hoop surround.
ing therasp or grinding wheel, for retain= ing the pomace and delivering it through'G into the pressing boX H, by an opening I therein, K, a piston working in H, and connected with the pivoted arm M; e, a friction roller in contact with the outer face of a cam L (on shaft A) and d is a bent rod in contact with the inner face of the cam, both are secured to the arm M; N, is the pomace drawer formed with flutes or hollows into which the pomace is compressed by the action of the pistonK. It is retained in its place by a strong spring 0.
The operationis as follows: The apples being received from a hopper, through openings E, E, are retained against the wheel 0, C, until perfectly reduced to a pulp, the spring and plate thereof retaining them in contact, yet permitting the planes at, b, to pass. When the fruit is sufficiently ground (which is important) it is thrown off the wheel or plate 0 0 by centrifugal force, and being encompassed by the hoop F F is directed through the opening G and falls into the pressing box H, where it is subjected immediately to the compression of the piston K, actuated by the cam L. WVhen the box becomes sufiiciently full of pulp, and the pomace relieved of the fluid the pulp consolidates in the hollows or indents in the pomace drawer N, and the pressure of the cam and piston overcoming by continuous packing, the spring 0, (whose use is the rea shelf, it is reduced to a pulp and the mill works regular.
The secondary mill or grinder, which may be used by hand when a small quantity of fruit is to be ground, is constructed as follows: P, the cam shaped grinder provided with spikes or teeth on its periphery; Q, a stationary concave bed is provided with teeth; R, the holding up spring to retain the apples until reduced to a pulp. The operation of the mill so nearly resembles the one described as to render unnecessary a further description.
1 Having described my improvement in mills for grinding and pressing fruit at one operation, what I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The use of the wheel 0, 0, provided with offsets, or planes at, b, and teeth or spikes as described in combination with the springs-D, D, for grinding the fruit.
2. I claim the arrangement of the grinding wheel C, C, springs D, D, with the cam E, pressing box H, and pomace drawer N and spring 0, for the purpose of pressing the pulp, and delivering the pomace, substantially as set forth. a
3. And I claim in the secondarymill the arrangement of the spring R, concave Q and cam shaped rasping wheel, or grinder P, for
the purpose of reducing the fruit to a pulp.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name before two subscribing witnesses.
JOHN L. SMITH, JOHN F. CLARK.
