A deflecting element 45 is suitably mounted within the container 38 to deflect the cleaning the screen 21- within the box 16. i gate or valve 22 ishinged within thebox 14 adjacent the opening leading from the'hopr 12, for the purpose of controlling, the ow of the coated metallic parts from" the hopper 12 onto the vibratingscreen. V
Within the box 16 is suitably fixed, as by welding, the screen proper 21, which is spaced from the bottom of the box 16 so as to permit the excess metal removed from the coated arts to fall to the bottom. The extreme ower end of the bottom of the receptacle or box 16xis cut away for a distance as shown clearly in Fig. 2 of-the drawings, at 23, to permit the excess metal which drops through the screen to flow into a gutter 24 fixed to the box 16 and which carries the metal away to one side of the machine as clearly shown in Fi'gsr2 and 4, and prevents it from flowing into the coolingbath 25. 1
The box 16 is mounted for reciprocatory movement in bearings 26 which are inturn suitably fixed to the adjacent portions of the framework 10. The bearings 26'have associatedtherewith slide bars 27 fixedto the under side-of the box 16,-which bars 27 are adapted to be reciprocated in the said bearings by mechanism hereinafter described.
The reciprocating mechanism is shown more in detail in Fig. 5 ofthe drawings; A
' Mounted onthe bottom portion of the mechanismis a coolingbath 25 comprising a suitable container 38 filled with asuitable cooling'fluid, such as water, and connecting at one end thereof with the lower end of the hopper 18. The level of the cooling fluid is kept al- 7 most at the top of the containerBS andis "controlled'by the overflow pipe 39 A belt conveyor designated generally at 40 is mounted on the framework 10 and is inclined and travels through the cooling bath 25 for a sub 'stantial portion of its length. The conveyor metal parts falling through the hopper 18 onto the conveyor 40. The lower roller 42 is suitably journalled at one end thereof in the lower end of a belt tightener 46. This belt tightener is suitably fulcrumed on the frame- ;work at an intermediate point in its length,
as at 47, the endopposite to that at which the roller 42' is journalled being suitably provided with adjustable means 48 to permit the 'belt-ti'ghtener to be adjusted when necessary.
The operation of the apparatus is as follows:
The metallic articles or parts such as metallic castings, nuts, bolts and the like, having first been coated with a protective metal,
for example, by dipping in a molten metal such a zinc, are delivered to the hop r 12. They fall by gravity through this 0 per onto the screen 21 within the box 16 w ch is rapidly vibrated by means of thereci rocating mechanism described above. e box 16 is closed so as to prevent cold drafts from coming in contact with hot coated parts,
which cold drafts would cause the excess hot metal to solidify in spots and render the coated-articles and especially the threaded portions'thereoflnnfit for use. The motor 11 imparts the necessary power to the mechanismwhich reciprocates the screening mechanism and drives the conveyor. screening mechamsm. 1s vibrated very mg The idly and the coated parts are causedto acted upon on every portion of their surfaces and'm a minimum of time, the screen 21 being'provided with'baflles 51 suitably ispaced along the surface thereof to make sure that the coated parts will be thoroughly acted upon and the excess metal eflectively removed.- This excess metal drops through the screen 21 onto the bottom of the box 16 o and carried away throughthe gutter 24 therein. Passing from the box 16 the coated parts fall" through the hopper :18 onto the conveyor 40 withinthe'cooling bath 25. As the coated parts leave the screen 21 and fall into the hopper 18' they receive a spray of cooling fluid fromrthe nozzles 50. Thisthas been found to be desirable and effective to prevent'the coated parts, which are still relativelyhot, from picking up any of the excess metal which may have escaped the. gutter 24 and have fallen into-the hopper 18 and have adhered ,tothe walls thereof. It is impor: tant that no such excess metal come in contact with the coated parts since the latter s will, while still relatively hot, pick up such metal which will adhereto them, and when the parts fall :into the cooling bath 25 the excess metal so, picked'up will solidify; on theparts-and render them unfit for use, especially ifthe excess metal should adhere to threaded portions of'the coated parts.
