-|MPROVEMENT IN FLOUR-MILLS.- V

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 173,551, dated February 15, 1876; application filed July 17, 1s75.

To all whom it may poncer-n: r I

Be it known that I, DAVID LEIB, of Rich Hill, in the county of Knox and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Flouring- Mill, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a sectional side elevation of my improved flouring-mill, and Fig. 2 is a top view of the same with runner detached.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The in vention relates to an adjustable flanged ring surrounding the bedstone, and provided with a delivery-spout, as hereinafter described.

In the draiving,'A represents the supporting-frame, B the bed-stone, and G the run nor, of my improved fiouring-mill. The frame A is made of iron or other materiahot' a strong flanged or other shaped base part, a, to

which diagonal pillars or braces b are bolted. The braces are preferably twisted to increase their strength, forming braces and posts combined. To ,their upper ends is bolted the flanged cylindrical top part 61, on which the bed-stone is seated. The top part d is cast or otherwise provided with three standards or arms, 6, each with a bottom and side set-screw, e, the bottom set-screws serving to level the bed-stone, the side screws to get the spindle in perfect tram. The spindle D is seated in a diametrical bridge-piece of the base part of frame A, and adjusted to vertical position by a lever and adjusting screw-rod, or in other suitable manner. Below the upper conical end of the spindle is keyed, ,in solid manner, the driver E, which is made of ring shape. with a diametrically-connecting bridge, having a central perforation for the spindle, and two guide-pins, f, equidistant therefrom, to secure the balance-ring of the runner thereon- The balance-ring G tits by a circumferential recess 0n the driver E, and by side holes f of its diame-trical bridge on the guide-pins of the driver. A central bushing or hub of the balance-ring has an adjustable plug, g, that is rigidly secured by a clamp-screw, g, for being set by its conically-recessed part on the spindle end, so that the weight of the runner may balance-ring is fitted into the eye of the runher and cemented thereto, being adjusted to perfect tram with the bed-stone for working. A flanged ring, F, fits around the bed'stone, and is secured thereto by suitable fasteningscrews,being adjustable to any position. A top casing, F, is screwed to the flanged ring E, which has an aperture and spout, It, that delivers the flour at any desired po'nt by the adjustability of the ring. The driver and balance-ring secures the regular and true motion of the runner when all the parts are set into proper tram.

Having thus described my invention, I claim 'as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination of bed-stone with adjustable flanged ring, having delivery-spout and top casing to discharge at any desired point, substantially as set forth.

' DAVID LEIB.
