BOLT-CLEANER.-
S1EGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 266,177, dated October 1'7, 1882,
(No model.)
10 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, H. CLAY MOKEEN, of Terre Haute,in the county of Vigo and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Bolt-Cleaners; and I do hereby declare thatthc following isafull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to devices for clearing the cloth of rotating belts or reels for flouringmills; and it consists in the matters hereinafter set forth,and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a hexagonal bolting-reel mounted horizontally in a chest, of which parts are broken away to reveal the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is an end view of a hexagonal reel detached from its housing, and having the balls applied thereto in a peculiar manner. Fig. 3 isa side elevation of the bolting-reel, having the balls suspended in the same relationtherewith asshown in Fig. 2. Figs. 4 and 5 are details, and Fig. 6 is a modification, of the main suspending device. 1
A represents a bolting-chest of the usual construction, and B a hexagonal boltingreel frame mounted therein. B is the boltingcloth secured to said frame.
G is a horizontal wire rod or cord, stretched from end to end of the chest above and in line with the reel; and D D are a series of balls suspended from the cord 0 by the connections 1*], preferably of copper wire, flexibly joined to the cord U,but allowablyof cord or otherflexible material. The halls D are hungin position to bear or rest on or against the surface of the cloth B,as shown, and as the reel B is rotated said balls are thrown outward by the projecting angles Z) Z) ot the reel. WVhen said angles have passed the balls thelatter return with some force against the next plane surface of the reel-cloth andjar the cloth sufficiently to detach any material which mayclog the meshes ofthelatter. In order to secure the most effective action, I prei'er to make the balls D D of elastic rubber, say, aboutan inch in diameter, or thereabout. Such closed hooks, 6, formed on their ends.
- blows on the face of the cloth are thereby made more severe and numerous. Balls of wood or other substance may, however, serve a good purpose, and are intended to be included under my general claim.
The suspending-cord O is shown in Fig. 3 as being of wire, having the eyes 0 formed therein at properintervals by bending, and the wires E as being connected in said eyes by suitable The wires E may be fastened to the balls D by being passed through them centrally and clinched or headed at their emerging ends in a familiar manner not necessary to be illustrated.
In Fig.6, 0 is an alternative form of the suspending-cord, consisting of a strip of thin metal having apertures c punched therein to receive the connecting wires E, and adapted therefore to be rolled into small compass. The tension of the suspending-cord U is made variable by means of a threaded end piece, 0, provided with a thumb-nut, c, and passed through the chest, as shown in Fig. 1, or' through an interior, fixed, and accessible bracket, H, as shown in Fig. 3. By varying the tension of the suspending-cord the force-and effect of the blows struck by the balls will also be varied.
In Fig. 1 the position of the suspending-cord O is vertically adjustable by means of two arms, I,- having the cord 0 connected with their free ends, and at their opposite ends pivoted at 2' to the outside of the chest A, suitable curved slots, F, being cut through the chestwalls in the arc of a circle about the pivotal points i to allow the cord or its connectingpiece 0 to move vertically the distance required in the adjustment mentioned. By means of these devices the vertical adjustment of the cord may be made independently of thatof its tension.
In Fig. l the balls D D are shown resting upon one of the upper faces of the reelcloth, while in Fig. 2 they are shown as hanging in contact with one of the side faces. Either arrangement will serve my purpose. In Figs. 2 and 3 the balls are also shown as hanging at different elevations by wires E of unequal length. An advantage of this construction is to cause one ball to strike a given face of the reel in advance of another, by which means thejarring thereof is more continuous.
I am aware that flexible wipers have been suspended in position to rub the face of the reel, and to thereby in some degree clear the meshes of the cloth. This isnotmyinvention, which is -restricted to balls so arranged and suspended as to be thrown outward by theangles of the reel, and calculated by their nature and mode of suspension to hound on striking the cloth, either by the resiliency ot' the latter or by that of the balls themselves. By the rubbing action of the wipers described a wearing effect is produced on the reel-cloth, which is obviated in the use of balls hung free, as shown, whereby they bear lightly at single points and bound from side to side, as int'luenced by the presence ofparticles on the cloth.
I claim as my invention 1. The combination, with a rotating hori zontal bolting-reel, ot' a ball or balls, D, hung in position to be struck by the angles of the tee], and adapted to swing freely against the faces of the reel, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with a rotating horizontal reel, of one or more elastic rubber balls, I), hung in position to be struck by the angles of the reel,and adapted toswingfreelyagainst the following face of the reel, substantially as described.
3. In combination with a rotating horizontal bolting-reel, a series of fiexibLv-suspended balls arranged in irregular order, so as to be successively struck by the angles of the reel, substantially as described.
4. In combination with the chest A, rotating horizontal bolting-reel B, balls 1), con-' nections E, the horizontal suspending device II. CLAY MCKEEN.
