FLOATI NG ELEVATOR.
SIEECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,556, dated August 24, 1880.
Application led July 1, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it. known that I, PHILLIP H. GILL, a citizen ofthe United States, residingat Brooklyn, in the county ot' Kings and State ot' New York,
have invented new and useful Improvements in Floating Elevators, ot' which the following is a specification.
This invention consists in the combination, in afloating elevator, ot two elevators adapted 1o to elevate grain simultaneously from two boats,
suitable devices for weighing the grain elevated from each boat separately, suitable mechanism for cleaning the grain, and one or more elevators for elevating the clean grain and for discharging the saine into one or more ships, so that much time is saved in handling the grain, and the grain received from the two boats can be separately discharged into dil'erent ships or mixed before it is so discharged.
zo This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a transverse section of my elevator in position to transfer grain simultaneously from two boats to a ship. Fig.
2 5 2 is a longitudinal section of the elevator. Fig. 3 is'ia horizontal section of the same. Fig. 4. is a similar section in the plane y y, Fig. 1, on a larger scale than the previous figures.
Similar letters indicate correspondin g parts.
3o In the drawings, the letter`A designates the boat and elevator-house, which contains the machinery for operating the several parts of my elevator. Said house is provided with two frames, B B', which swing on a shaft, a., and
3 5 the position of which is controlled by ropes b b', so that they can be let down to a horizontal position, as shown in Fig. l, or swung np to a vertical position, as shown in Fig. 2.
The outer ends of the frames B B' form the 4o bearings for shafts c c', from which are suspended the legs for two elevators, C C', and on which are mounted pulleys, which support the elevator-belts, and suitable eog-wheels for imparting motion to said elevators. If the frames B B' are swung out to a horizontal position the lower ends of the elevators C C' can be made to descend into boats D D', which are supposed to be loaded with grain, and by impart-ing to the elevator-belts the required motion the grain from both boats can be elevated 5o simultaneously.
The shaft t has its bearings in boxes m m, fastened to traversers n a, Fig. 4, and to said traversers are firmly secured eye-plates o o, through which extends the shaft a, the tubular projections o o' of which form the bearin gs for the frames B B', so that the shaft a is relieved from all strain to which it would be exposed if said frames were made to turn directly on it. Said shaft a is geared together 6o with the shafts c c' by shafts p, Fig. 2, and bevel-wheels fr s tu, the shafts p being mounted in the frames B B' so that they do not get out of gear with the shaft a when said frames are swung up or down. Each ot' said eleva- 65 tors is provided with a discharge-spout, E or E', which conduct the grain from said elevators into weighing devices F F ot' any suitable construction, such generally used on grainelevators or in grain-storing houses. From 7o these weighing devices the grain drops down into bins G G' in the elevator-boat, and from these bins the grain is raised separately by elevators H H', which are provided each with a discharge-spout, d, (see Fig. 2,) for conducting the grain into a screen, I or I', separate screens being shown in the dra-wings, one for each ofthe elevators H and H'. As the grain discharges from these screens it drops down into bins K K', Figs. 2 and 3, and during its 8o fall it is exposed to a suction-blast produced by a fan-blower, L, so that the chaff is separated Jfrom the good grain, said chaff being sucked in through the suction-spouts ff' and driven out at the stern otl the elevator-boat through the discharge-spout g.
From the bins K K' the clean grain passes into elevators M M' and is raised into a box,
N, whence it discharges through one or more spouts, O, into the ship S, Fig. l. 9o
If it is desired to mix the grain taken from the two boats D D' the discharge ot' both the elevators M M' is caused to run together in the box N, and thence discharged through one and the same spout, and said box is provided with a gate or valve, which can be so adjusted that the discharge of both elevators will run together or will be kept separate.
It will he seen t'rom the above description l that in the example shown in the drawings l the grain is elevated separatelvv from the two boats, weighed separately, cleaned separately, and then elevated again separately into the box N, whence it may he discharged separately l or mixed.
My elcvatormay, however, he so constructed l that the grailnai'terhaving heen elevated sepA l arately from the two boats and weighed sepi arately, may he mixed during' the process of l cleaning, the clean grain from hoth hoats he- I ing collected in one and the same hin, K, t'rom l which it` israised hy a single elevator and then discharged into the ship. l
What I claim as new, and desire to secure l by Letters Patent, isl 1. The combination, in a tioating elevator, ot' l two elevators, (l (1', adapted to elevate grain simultaneously from two boats, devices t'or weighing the ;rain elevated from each boat l separately, mechanism for cleaning the grain at'ter it hasheen weighed, and one or more elevators for elevating' the clean grain and for discharging.,Y the same either separatel)v or mixed into one or more ships, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. The combination, in a Boating elevator, of two elevators, C C', shafts c c', supporting said elevators, frames B B', supporting said shafts, a shatt, (t, round which both frames B B are. made to swing', and suitable gearing' for transmittingr motion from the shaft a to the elevator-shafts e c', substantially as and tor the purpose set forth.
ln testimony whereof I have hereunto set. my hand and seal in the presence of two suhserihing;r witnesses.
