IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINERY FOR SCUTCHING FLAX.
Specification forming part of Letters latent No, 22.735, dated January I], let").
To 111/ whom (it new; comm/lb:
Be it known that I, \VUJJHH Uannwnim Mel-innit), o1 jltaritan, county of Somerset, in the State of Newulersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mar chinery l'or Seutching' Flax and other 'egeta ble Fibrous Substances; and I do hereby deelare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being; bad to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which Figure l is a side elevation, Il ig. 2 a plan. and Fig. 3 anend elevation, of a double scntehing-Jnachine. scutchers, taken in a plane at right angles with their axes to represent the manner of their operation on the fibers; and Fig. 5, another section thereof, taken in the plane ol' their axes.
The same letters indicate like parts in all the figures.
In the said seutehingdnaehine the .llax or other fibrous substance to be scutched is pro scnt'cd to an arrangement of bands and gri )Itl'li near one end between the bands and the pe- Fig. 4 is a section ol' one set ol generally of the term represented.
ol' ear-h shatl is properly secured a pair of arms, ,l l) l/ U, projecting to an equal dis tance each side ot' theaxis. To the outer end of each arm is properly secured a blade or heater, 3], at right angles to the arm, and hence parallel with the shal't, so that each shalt carries two such blades or beaters,which heaters are segments ot a hollow cylinder, and
By the rotation ot'the two shafts in opposite directions the boaters of each shal't pass within the beat ers of the other-that is, between the other shalt and its boaters; and in the space between the paths ot' the two sets of boaters are placed two curved stocks, N X. tsee Fig. 1,3, attached to the l'rame A on each side of the lcedopening (I, which may be t rzned the "scntchingwom iartnient. These stocks are curved and about equal in length to the beaters, and each is outside of one set of boaters and inside of the other setthat is, the outside of the boaters on shalt ,l; is presentijal to the inside of the lower stock, N, and the outside of the heaters on shalt H to the inside of the upper stock, X, so that the fibers preriphery of a grooved wheel, and thus held and moved along is presented to the action of a pair of scutchers, whose mode of operation constitutes partof my said invention, and atter having one end thereby scutched by the continued motion of the wheel and bands it is carried away from this pair of sentchers, and the scutched end is presented to another set of bands passing around another grooved l wheel below, and by them gripped, the upper end, not yet scutchcd, (il'OPPillg onto a guidelable which guides it as it is moved aiongand presented to the second pair of sentchers, ol
like construction with the first pair, but act ing in the reverse direction, by which the other end of the fibers is seutched.
As the two pairs of scutchers are cot ist rnel ed inlike manner, the description of the firstpair will apply to the second pair, the correspond ing parts in both being indicated by the same letters of reference.
In the accompanying drawings, A represents the frame-work, and II; it two parallel shafts geared together to turn in opposite di reetions, by two spur-wheels, ,l) D, one ol the said shafts being provided with a fast and loose pulley, U U, to receive a driving-belt from some suitable motor.
011 the other end sented and held by the feeding bands and wheel, to be presently descrilaahare beaten and sentched by the heaters alternately on opposite sides, lirst against one stock and then against the other.
The feeding apparatus for the first set of srntchers consists of a double-grooved l1ori zontal win-cl, K, on a vertical shal't, I, which carries a worm-wheel, 11, receiving motion t'rom a screw, (t, on a shaft, H. The motion ol' shat't t; is derived from the shaft 1; of the second scutehcr by a belt and pair of cones, t] ill, on said shalt ii and a parallel shalt, F,
i which carries a pinion, 1*", that gears into a spuirwheel, is, on shalt it. In this way a slow rotary motion in the direction. of the arrow is iin mrted to the grooved wheel K. Two bands, I c, pass around in the grooves of this wheel, and thence around two tension-rollers, (l d--nne l'or each band-connected by chains c r with weighted leversfj'. The upper band,
i also passes'against and is deflected by a guide-pulley, lot a purpose to be presently described. As the wheel IK. rotates with a slow motion, the stocks of flax (or other fibers to be scutchedl presentelfl by an attendant are gripped near the upper end between the periphery of the wheel and the bands, and by them held and carried around. The lower-sins pended ends enter the teed-opening a of what has been termed the first seutehing-ronipart ment," and :is it is curried through this eon1 partnuiait the tower haltits length is seutehed by th "netion ot't he seutt-hersin manner already deserihed, and as it is drawn out of this cornpartntent by the continued rotation of the wheel K it is earried toward and delivered to and caught hy the hite of another wheel. K, helow. bent UYtl'llHJlljfl'itI' hand 71, in passing around th wheei K and to hung onto that band, and to be therehy drawn into the seeond feeding apparat us. To prevent this the upper hand, ii. is detleeted h theguide-lottery before do serihed, so that alone'that part ot'its course it travelsin :s ditl'orent directiont'rointhe lower hnnd, 1-. whit-h hast hoei'i'vet' ot'tahingthe bend out of the stoelts 11nd delivering; thorn freely to the second feeding nivparzilus The wheel li' receives motion from the shaft (r in the some manner as wheel h; by a worm, ti", and worm-wheel H. and provided in like manner with tno t'otuting hands b if, passing around tension-rollrrs with weighted levers in ever respeet like the tmnds I: r'. The two sets of hauling apparatus, it will lie seen, as indicated i the arrows. trat't-i nearly in the same direetion where the transfer takesplaemwhieh titeilitates that opt-ration, and as the set-loud feeder is lwlowthtdaneottho tirst J'et'ederthe lower portion of the tillers whieh have been seut'ehed :u't- (might and gripped between the hands and wheel oi the second feeder, and as the uppiand unseutehed ends are lihernted lay the first feeder they lhli onto a tahle, S, whieh sustains and guides them as they are earried around and passed through the feedopening' or into thest-eond seutehing-eontparh ment of the seeond sentit-her, whieh COll strut-ted in t-t't-ry respeet like the first, hut ilaeed higher, and with the motions reversed to perform their operation in the reverse direetiou to st-utt-h the opposite ends of the The ends of the tlaxi are linhle to he fibers. i\ fterpnssing through the operation of the seeondseutelier the fibers are delivered by the feeding apparatus where the hands If 6 leave the periphery of the wheel K. in some cases, where the flax or other llllllS require more Scott-hing at one end than the other the speed of one of the scutehers is increased by changing the size of the driving-pulley, or by other suitable means.
in seutehingz; soft :titier to prevent the edges o1 the blades or heaters from hrenking or otherwise injuring it, I apply what I term shit-ids, which are plates secured to the inside of the edges of the heaters and capahle of being protruded more or less.
ole do not claim either set of feeders, separately as making part of any pref art invention, having deserihed at similar arrangement in Letters ltutt-nt granted to me hr the Governntent of (treat Britain in the your ISFL.
What i do elaitn as my invention, and desire to set-ore hy Letters Patent, is-
,t. The mode of o weration oi the combined rotating blades or heaters with the interposed st eks, substantially as deserihed.
