MEANS FOR MANUFACTURING FILAMENTOUS BISCUIT.
Application filed January. 23,
To all whom it'may concern, p Be it known -that I, CHARLES E. SMITH, citizen of the United States, resident of Niagara Falls, in the county of Niagara andState of New York, have made a certain new and useful Inventioni-n Means "for Manufacturing Filamentous Biscuit; and I declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of'thesame, such-as willenabl others skilled in the art. to which it appertains to make and use the invention, 1 reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or*figuresof reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.
Figure 1 is a 'de view of a roll machine illustrating the invention. \Fig. 2 is a transverse view, enlarged and partly in section, on line e y Fig. 3. Fig. 3 isa top view. enlarged and partly in section on'line m-m Fig. 2. a he object of the invention is to provide means for manufacturing filamentous bis-. cuit of smaller size ,than the width of the reducing rolls, and it consists in the novel construction and combinations of devices, as
hereinafter set forth. a
Roll machines for the manufacture offilamentous biscuit are of considerable size, the grooved reducing rolls being usually made. about five inches long, because smaller rolls would materially increase the complication and expense of connected apparatus for preparingand feeding the grain, as well as of the rolls themselves, considered in relation to'the production. The band of piled filaments which is formed on the receiver must be subdivided into biscuit forms, and this has been accomplished by means for pinching the band transversely, this pinching I serving not only to subdivide the, band into biscuit sections, but also to compress the sion, so that each biscuit form is an-entirety,
filaments together at the linesof subdivi its filaments being pinched together and se-,
curely joined at their. ends. The width of these biscuit forms, however, corresponds with the length of the reducing rolls. In
0rd r to make biscuit ofless width from such a band of filaments, it is designed to pinch the band longitudinally, that is to say in the direction in which the filaments lie, substantially parallel to each other, in the receiver; and as these filaments are loosely 's' ie mati m Patent. y t i t A 15 119 s 1912. Serial No. erasaa' piled they are designed tobe brought some-.
what closer together, so that the pinching will be effective in form'ingthe edges of he biscuit. In the accompanying? drawings, illustrating themechanism'preferred to accomplish these 'resultsQthe numeral 2 indicates the reducing roll heads, having finely grooved rolls 3, from which the grain, softened by water and curedin'the usual mannor, is discharged in filament form byrdischarging strips 4 upon a moving receiver 5, which is in the form of a belt of links 6, which run upon'a suitable track 7. Thelink Ghas a fiat bottom 8 and lateral flanges 9.
Means are provided to produce longitudinal divisional creases in the layers or band of filaments upon the receiver, said means consisting preferably of a. flanged roller of proper width to run easily between the flanges of the links 6. To this end, supports 11 aresecured to the framing 10 at the sides of the track, and these suppprts are connected by a transverse bar 12, .and provided each with a vertical slot, through which passes abearing lug 13 of a bail-form frame 14 having an adjusting screw 15.
The creasing roller 16, of proper width to run easily between the flanges of the links 6, is provided with. a shaft Whose journals are seated in the bearing lugs of the frame 14:; and, as it is preferred to run the roller by a positive drive, the shaft is provided with a sprock't wheel which is geared to a sprocket wheel 1 in connection with the belt-moving mechanism. On the roller 16 are circumferential V-form or laterally beveled flanges 18, designed to crease or pinch the band of filaments longitudinally. against the bottoms of the linksof the receiver belt. This roller is suspended by the bail-frame 14: and its adjusting screw, its shaft engaging the bearing lugs of said bail-frame; and engaging these lugs on top or in the" upper portions of. the slots of the supports 11 are springs v 19, which, in turn, are inengagement with adjusting screws 20, seated in saidgsupports.
In this way it is designed to regulate the pressure of the springs interposed between the bearings of the creasing roller and the support, to compensate for the adjustment of the yieldable bail-form frame. Inequalities of motion of the receiver" and variation in the consistency of the filament materlal a e. also provided for.
' ters Patent is:
The adjustable screw 15 of the bail-form frame, bearing upon the sup ort, is capable of being lifted and separate therefrom under strain. Extending into the supports 11 below the bearing lugs are check screws 21, whereby the downward movement of the roller 16 is limited and the thickness of the layer is gaged. The link receiver belt is designed to pass between an upper endless belt 22 of cutting or pinching links and a lower endless belt 23 of cutting or pinching links, the links of each belt having transverse flanges which operate between the carrying links 6 of thereceiver. The smooth surface of the roller 16, between its flanges, serves to somewhat compress the filaments together and shape the tops of the sections of the band of filaments. so that they are made of even thickness. The beveled form ofthe flanges of the roller is designed not only for compressing the filaments laterally, but also to give form to the sides of each section or subdivision and to provide that the flanges shall leave the band of filaments easily and without adhesion. By these devices it is designed that the band of longitudinal filaments piled on the receiver shall be creased or pinched longitudinally and transversely, to subdivide it into small uniform sections. Owing to the preferably limited number of filaments piled upon each other it is quite open in structure and freely pervious to air, and itis designed that the longitudinally creasing meansshall compress the band of filaments to substantially close the interstices thereof.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let- 1. In a machine of the class described, a
support. a vieldable frame having an adjustable device bearingupon said supportand capable of being lifted and separated therefrom under strain. and a creaslng roller having bearings in said frame and yieldable therewith.
2. In a machine of the class described, a support, a vieldable frame-having an adjustable device bearing upon said support and .fromunder' strain, I .bearmgs lll'sflld frame and yieldable therecapable of being lifted and separated therea creasing roller having with, and adjustable means underlying said frame and having a bearing upon said sup- Y port capable of being lifted and separated therefrom under strain, a creasing roller having bearings in said frame and yieldable therewith, springs interposed between said bearings and said support, and means for adjusting the tension of said springs.
5. In a machine of the class described, a support, a yieldable frame, an adjustable screw threaded in the central portion of said frame, having a bearing upon said support capable of being lifted and separated therefrom under strain. a creasing roller having bearings in said frame, springs interposed between said bearings and said support. screws upon said support for adjusting the tension of, said springs, and screws underlying said bearings for limiting the downscrews underlyingsaid bearings to limit the downward movement of said frame and of said roller.
In testimony whereof I afiix in presence of two witnesses:
