AppIicationFebruary ZII, 1946;? S elial N0.-" 6488fi9 of an apparatus of this character, wherein-the basket andbeater are of novel constructionzand interfittedrinia unique manner withrresultanthigh speed shelling action in the use of the saidapparatus.
-A further object of the invention is -the*provision .Of an apparatus of thischaracter, which is simple in'construction,thoroughly reliableaand efficient in operation, strong, durable, readily and easily operated, possessed of few parts, readily accessible, and inexpensive to manufacture.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which show the preferred embodiment of the invention, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a side View of the apparatus constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken approximately on the line 3-3 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the beater.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the basket.
Similar reference characters indicate corre sponding parts throughout the several views in the drawings.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the apparatus constituting the present invention comprises, a stand having side base sills l arranged in spaced parallel relation to each other with cross struts I I therebetween, and fastened by fasteners I2, while rising vertically from the level of the sills II] are upstanding supporting frames I3 carrying a feed hopper I4. This hopper M at the discharge throat I thereof has communication with a basket.
The basket, in the form of a cylinder or shell, involves eccentric shaped end heads I6 about which is disposed a perforated or slotted cylindrical sheet metal body section II, the perforations or slots being denoted at I8. The section IT has an-opementrance area'confronted-by edge'flanges I-9-andfi2il;. respectively; the latterflange I 9 contactingi abutment..shoulders3 2'I created at the eccentric swells-322.1 of; the endih'eads I 6 and initially rengageable withatlfese rflanges 'ISran'd .20

The setof-athel basket'i withinrth'ev apparatus is best shown-iniligures L land-3 offithe drawings. The open entrance areaaof the basket registers with the disehargeethroati of-;-the.'hopp er I 4'.
The basket is stationarily held in'the apparatus andchasw eccentrically; disposed :therein a rotary beater or rotor having the circular disk-like ends 25 and beater bars 26, respectively. This beater is fixed to a center axle '21, having clearance through the end heads II; of the basket and journalled in bearings 28 on the supporting frames I3 outside of the hopper I 4, the axle 21 being provided with a crank handle 29 for the manual turning thereof to effect the rotation of the beater within the basket for the shelling of peanuts delivered to the latter from the hopper through the open discharge area before mentioned.
The hopper I4, above the open area of the throat I5, has hinged trap doors 3!! and 3|, respectively, which are swingable against the hopper when in open position, but when in closing position cover the open area of the throat, as best seen in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings.
The shelled nuts and waste are discharged through the slots or perforations I8, in the section ll of the basket. The beater in the working thereof shells the peanuts rapidly or with dispatch.
What is claimed is:
1. In a peanut shelling machine, the combination which comprises a stationary horizontally disposed perforated wall cylindrical basket having an elongated opening providing a throat in the upper surface and with the perforated wall extended from the throat at one side thereof positioned a greater distance from the center than the wall extended from the opposite side of the throat, a rotor having spaced longitudinally extended beater bars on the surface positioned in said basket, a shaft extended longitudinally through the basket positioned on the center thereof and providing mounting means for the rotor whereby the rotor is positioned concentric to the an elongated opening providing a throat in the upper surface and with the perforated wall extended from the throat at one side thereof positioned a greater distance from the center than the wall extended from the opposite side of the throat, said perforated cylindrical wall of the basket having extended flanges on the edges thereof positioned at the sides of the throat, heads in the basket, bolts having hook shaped ends extended through the flange atone side of the throat and hooked over the flange at the opposite side for clamping the said perforated wall of the basket to the said heads, a rotor having spaced longitudinally extended beater bars on the surface positioned in said basket, a shaft extended longitudinally through the basket positioned on the center thereof and providing mounting means for the rotor whereby the rotor is positioned concentric to the basket, a hand crank on the outer end of the shaft, a hopper in which the basket is positioned having side walls spaced from the basket and having converging panels in the upper ends sloping towards the throat of the basket, and doors hinged to the sloping panels of the hopper and positioned to retain the basket in operative positive in the hopper.
3. In a peanut shelling machine, the combination which comprises a stationary horizontally disposed perforated wall cylindrical basket having an elongated opening providing a throat in the upper surface and with the perforated wall extended from the throat at one side thereof positioned a greater distance from the center than the wall extended from the opposite side of the throat, a rotor having spaced longitudinally extended beater bars on the surface'positioned in said basket, a shaft extended longitudinally through the basket positioned on the center thereof and providing mounting means for the rotor whereby the rotor is positioned concentric to the basket, a hand crank on the outer end of the shaft, a hopper in which the basket is positioned having side walls spaced from the basket and havingconverging panels in the upper ends sloping toward the throat of the basket, and doors hinged to the sloping panels of the hopper and positioned to engage the flanges of the basket to retain the basket in operative position in the hopper, said doors providing means for removing the basket and rotor from the hopper.
