Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept, 28, 1920, Application filed January 26, 1920. Serial No. 354,299. r
(FILED UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1883, 22 STAT. L, 625.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, EMIL Gr. BOERN'ER and ELIHU H. Rorns, citizens of the United States, and employees of the Department of Agriculture of the United States of Amen 'ica, residing at lVashington, District of Columbia, (whose post-oflice address is WVashington, District of Columbia,) have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grain-Samplers, of which the following is a specification.
This application is made under the Act of March 3, 1883, chapter 143 (22 Stat, 625), and the invention herein described and claimed may be used by the Government of the United States or any of its officers or employees in the prosecution of work for the Government, and by any person in the United States, without payment to us of any royalty thereon. This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in grain samplers designed for use in obtaining samples of grain that is being discharged from an elevator spout to water or rail carrier.
The purpose of this invention is to afford means of securing a portion or sample of grain falling clear from a spout or other orifice, as in loading from grain elevator to a ship, where the grain is discharged through a spout into the ships hold. The hatchway into which the grain is discharged may be 10 feet by 16 feet more or less and the grain spout is in the center of the hatchway. The velocity of the grain, which may fall from a bin 150 feet above the discharging spout, prevents securing a representa tive sample or true cross section of the falling stream by hand without a device like 0 the one described herein. This device permits securing a sample under the conditions above enumerated.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the device.
Fig. 2 is a view in front elevation of the 3 same.
I In a detail description, in which like numerals refer to like parts throughout the I two views, the device at bar consists of a v 'ointed handle 1 of wood or metal approxinately 1% inches in diameter and eight feet ong, at one end of which is attached a ather covered metal frame 2 called the side.
container. This metal frame 2 is in two parts, called the back piece 3 and body portion 4 so connected as to provide a recess or chamber 5 with its mouth or opening at Y right angles to the handle 1, said recess belng about 16 inches long and 1% inches wide. The back piece 3 is so shaped as to be capable of being secured firmly to the handle 1 by means of bolts 6 and 7 provlded therefor. The frame 4 is riveted to the sides 8 and 9 of the back piece 3 and one side 10 of the frame is 1:} inches higher than the other side 11. This framework 4 and back piece 3 arecovered by a bag of leather or other suitable material so shaped as to contain a predetermined amount of grain and to discharge easily this portion of grain at the end away from the handle. It will thus be seen that the device at bar consists of united back and body portions forming a recess and a handle secured to said back portion and extending at a right angle to the upper edges of said body portion, one of the sides of said body portion being of greater height than the opposite The advantage of the construction thus described is that there is provided an opening approximately 16 inches long and 1% inches wide whether the handle is held horizontally with the container projecting Vertically to one side or the handle is dropped to the vertical and the container horizontal.
In operating this device the handle 1 is held so that it is near but not touching the falling stream of grain, with the container 2 projecting to the left horizontally, beyond the stream. When in this position, and the grain is falling, the container 2 is swung rapidly downward and inward, so that it moves through downward and inward curve entirely through the stream of falling grain. The container 2, should be of such length that a complete cross section of the grain may be caught therein. The grain thus caught in the container may be emptied on to a sample cloth or other suitable device and constitutes a true representative sample of the stream of grain at that point. More or less grain can be obtained as desired by varying the speed with which the container is passed through the grain.
From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation and many advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent to thoseskilled in the art, Without further description, and it will be 1111- derstood that various changes in the size, shape, proportion, and minor details of "construction may be resorted to Without depaifting from thespirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention;
7 Having thus described our invention, We
A device for the purpose'described, con- ;;sisting of unitedpback and body portions forming a'r'ecess, and a handle secured to said back 'portionand extending at a right angle to the upper edges of said body porone of the'sides of said body portion being of greater height than the opposite side.
In testimony whereof, We affix our signa- 5N0, F. WILMETH.
