EDWARD F. MCCARTHY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AS SIGNOR F ONE-HALF TO BENJAMIN SKIDMORE, JR., OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
CANDY PULLING MACHINE.
Application filed August 4, 1915.
\ of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Candy-Pulling Machines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to candy pulling ma- 3 chines, and particularly to machines of this character that have stationary and movable pins through the medium of which the candy is manipulated.
The object of my invention is to thoroughly mix and stretch the candy" so as to expose all. parts thereof to the air, and to successively pull the candy in several difierent directions by means of one movable pin, and while pulling the candy in one direction to cause this one pin to double the candy stretched during the previous pull thereof. This I accomplish by the means hereinafter fully described, and as particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is an end elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a horizontallongitudinal section of the upper end of the standard of the machine, taken on dotted line 33, F 1. Fig. Lis a diagrammatical view showing the operation of my invention. Fig. 5 is anend elevation of the upper portion of a modification of my improved machine. Fig. 6 is a diagrammatical view showing the operation of the modified construction of the machine disclosed in Fig. 5.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a suitable base which may be made of marble, metal, or other suitable material. On one side of this base a suitable post, B is secured,
which, at its upper end, has a cross-bar 6 secured thereto. Near the outer ends of this bar and at a suitable point on the post below the same, pins 0, D and E are secured thereto and project a suitable distance therefrom in the same direction. The disposition of these pins is such that they are placed at the angles of an imaginary equirlateral triangle, and between their ends'they are, preferably, curved toward the center of said triangle. i
Diametrically opposite post B a standard 1 of suitable construction is secured to and arises from base A, and at its upper end it is provided with bearing a, the axis of which Specification of Letters Patent.

alines with the center of the triangle the angles of which are described by pins C, D and E. Secured in this bearing is a sleeve G one end of which extends toward post 13 and has a large sprocket g secured thereto or made integral therewith. A shaft H is journaled in sleeve G and its ends extend,
beyond the ends of said sleeve. The outer end of this shaft is provided with a crank (J with which to turn it, and the opposite end thereof nearest the post has an arm I secured thereto that projects laterally a suitable distance beyond the circumference of sprocket g. The outer end of arm I. has a suitable bearing for a spindle J, whose axis is parallel to shaft H, and on the end of this spindle farthest from the post, it has a small sprocket e which is connected to large sprocket g by a suitable chain 7. On the end of the spindle nearest the post it is provided with anarm 7c, and this arm has a pin K projecting from a suitable point near its outer end toward the post, the axis of which is parallel to shaft H. The relative position of arm 7'; to the ends of pins C, D and E is such that when shaft,.H is turned, said arm will not interfere with the ends of said pins as it describes the planetary movement re sulting from the engagement of the small sprocket c with large sprocket 9 through the medium of chain f, and the extent of the projection of pinKis such that the transverse plane in which its. outer end travels will prevent its interfering with post B or eross bar b.
In operation, when crank (Z is turned so as tor-evolve shaft H, arm I and spindle J are revolved, as stated, through the medium of stationary sprocket g, sprocket c and chain f and arm 7c and pin K describe a planetary movement which causes said pin K to describe a triple or trefoil loop, substantially as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings. Each loop, so described by said pin, passes around one of pins C, D or E, and each long stretch of the course described by said pin K in transit from its bend around one stationary pin to the next stationary pin intersects at a point near the center of the triangle described by said stationary pins, the long stretch of the course described by it (pin K) in transit between the two pins between which it last traveled. This pulling movement of the planetary pin K causes a constant pulling of the elastic candy as well as a thorough mixing of the-same, particularly at the points of intersection of the loops described thereby, and causes a constant shift of the candy from a pointbetween the stationary pins to a point on said pins and vice-versa, and thoroughly aerates the same.
In Fig. 5 of the drawings, I show a modified construction of my invention in which the planetary movement of the moving pin is tro-choidal. In this modification, the construction of the machine is the same as in the preferred form, except that I substitute a stationary gear 8 for the large sprocket on the inner end of shaft H, and a pinion 9 for the small sprocket 0 on the end of spindle J, which latter directly intermeshes with said gear 8. t This change causes pin K to describe atro-choidal course, substantially as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawthree stationary equi-distant supporting members, and a device having a planetary movement for pulling the candy from one to the other of said supporting members.
2. A candy pulling machine comprising three stationary supporting members located at the angles of animaginary triangle, and a device having a planetary, movement for pulling the candy from one'to the other of said supporting members.
3. A candy pulling machine comprising three stationary equi-distant supporting members, and a device having a planetary movement for pulling the candy from one to the other of said supporting members-in a course within the geometric figure described by a straight line bounding said supporting members. 1
4. A candy pulling machine comprising three stationary supporting members located at the angles of an imaginary triangle, and a device having a planetary movement for pulling the candy from one to the other of said supporting members in a course within the geometric figure described by a straight line bounding said supporting. members. a
5. A candy pulling machine comprising Gopies of this patent may be obtained'tor'five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,
a post and three stationary pins projecting therefrom at substantially equal distances apart, a standard having bearingsin its upper end, a shaft journaled therein, a stationary toothed wheel concentric with said shaft, an arm projecting laterally from the end of said shaft nearest said post, a spintherefrom at substantially equal distances apart, a standard having bearings in its upper end, a shaft journaled therein, a stationary toothed wheel. concentricewith said shaft, an arm projecting laterally from the end of said shaft nearest said post, a spindle journaled in the outer end of said arm the axis of which is parallel to said shaft, a smaller toothed wheel mounted in said spindle which is driven by a suitable chainbelt connecting said wheels, and a lateral arm projecting from said spindle and a finger projecting from said arm.
