M ALT KILN FLOOR. 'N0.`28l,326. Patented July 17, 1883.

- B www??? UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIcEo PAUL WEINIG, OF HANAU, PRUSSIA, GERMANY, ASSIGNOR' TO FREDERICK W. WOLF, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

MALT-KILN FLOORi SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,326, dated July 17, 1883.

' Application filed November 10, 188i'. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, PAUL WEINIG, a citizen of Germany, residing at Hanau, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Malt-Kiln Floors and Ihereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My invention relates to that class of maltkiln iioors in which wedge-shaped wires or bars are bound together, parallel with each other, in tiles or sections of the desired size, and my invention consists in the particular construction of the said bars, whereby, when provided with suitable means for securing them together, as described, they are rmly held in position and incidentally maintained at the proper distance apart, all as hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the drawings, Figure l is a plan view of a section of my iiooring; Fig. 2, a side elevation of one of the bars constituting the same; Fig. 3, a transverse section of the tile, taken 3 at one side of the rings through which the connecting rod or bolt passes; Fig. 4, a transverse section of the same taken through the said rings apart from the connecting-rod or bolt; and Fig. 5, transverse sections of the parallel rods.

To form the barsI take round wires and bend them in such manner as to form rings fv, the remainder of the wire remaining straight. Through these rings rods A are to be passed to hold the wires together in position. This I am aware is not broadly new, and I do not claim it as my invention. Having thus formed the wires with rings in the proper positions, I compress the wires into the wedge-shaped form shown, without, however, iiattening the rings, except above the lower edge of the wire. The pressure brought to bear upon the wire is of sufficient force to cause it, at the crossingpoint above the ring, to be swaged together, one part into the other, so as to forma straight wedge-shaped piece, B. The swaging-imple ment is provided with depressions which cause the ring, on one side of the bar at least, to project beyond the upper edge of the bar, as

shown at u, and on the other side to lie preferably even with the upper edge of the bar, as shown at t. Thus when the wires are put together upon the rods A they are separated from each other just to the extent which the ring v projects beyond the upper edges of the wire on the sides. The connecting-rods A may be of any desired length, and the rods forming the sections may be held together by means of nuts or pins.

Although I have confined myself in the above description of my invention to its application in malt-kiln floors, it may be used with equal advantage for other purposes-such as a grain-separator, where it is desired to separate the fine from coarser grain, or a sandsifter.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. As a new article of manufacture, the barA herein described for use in the manufacture of malt-kiln iioors, 85o., the same being formed of Wire bent upon itself to form rings o at intervals, with the part aside from the rings swaged into a wedge-shaped form, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a malt-kiln iioor, sections or tiles of any desired length, formed of wires bent to Vform rings v, and compressed into a wedgeswaged into a wedge-shaped form, the part of each bar above the rings `forming a straight line throughout the whole length of the said bar, substantially as described.

PAUL VEINIG.
