FLOUR-BOLT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 310,134, dated December 30, 1884.

Application filed July 5, 1884. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern- Be it known that I, Anensr HEINE, of Silver Creek, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Flour-Bolts, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in bolting-reels, and has for its object to improve the construction of the reel, to increase its bolting capacity and improve its operation, and provide efficient means for keeping the meshes of the bolting-cloth clear.

My invention consists, to these ends, of the improvements in the construction of the machine,which will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, consisting of two sheets, Figure 1 is a longitudinal 'sectional elevation of abolting-rcel provided with my improvements. Figs. 2 and 3 are crosssections in lines m a and 3/ 3 Fig. 1, respectively. Fig. 4: is a side elevation of the bolting-cylinder,with a portion of the outer cylinder broken away. Figs. 5 and 6 are sectional elevations, on an enlarged scale, of a portion of the heads of the bolting-cylinder. Fig. 7 is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 8 a crosssection, both on enlarged scales, of the supports to which the bolting-cloth is attached; and Fig. 9 is a sectional elevation, on an enlarged scale, of the cloth-cleaning device.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures.

A represents the stationary frame of the machine, provided with a suitable casing which incloses the reel.

(t represents the teed-spout at the head of the machine.

B represents the head of the reel, located at the feed end thereof, and provided with a central journal, b, which turns in a bearing, 72, secured to the main frame A.

13 represents a conical head or hollow conical shell secured to the outer side of the head B concentric with the journal I), and open at its outer end, into which the feed-spout projects, so as to deliver the material to be bolted upon the head B. v

0 represents openings formed in the head B, for the passage of the material from the head into the interior of thevreel. These openings are separated by ribs 0, whereby the outer portion of the head is connected with a hub, 0 to which the journal I) is attached.

(1 represents an inwardly or rearwardly projecting annular flange formed on the periphery of the head 13.

E represents a ring of greater diameter than the head B, and secured to the front side thereof, so as to project beyond the periphery of the head B. The ring E is provided with a flange, e, which projects forwardly from the top of the ring.

F represents the head, located at the tail or discharge end of the reel, and provided with a central opening f, through which the tailiugs are discharged.

G is a curved deflecting-plate arranged within the reel on the inner side of the head F, and g are elevating-ribs connecting the deflectingplate G with the head F, and extending ra dially toward the periphery of the reel in a well-known manner, so as to elevate the tailings and discharge them through the central opening, f.

g is a journal formed centrally on the deflecting-plate G, and turning in a bearing, 9 formed at the tail end of the machine.

H represents a ring secured to the rear side of the head F, and provided with a rearward ly-projecting flange, h. The ring H is similar in construction and arrangement to the ring E, applied to the head B, except that the ring His provided in its body with openings h, through which the coarse material is discharged.

1 represents the longitudinal ribs of the reel frame, secured with their ends to the heads B and F by means of outwardly-turned ears 2', so that the ribs are located at a short distance inwardly from the peripheries of the heads B and F.

J represents the covering of wire-cloth applied to the heads B and F and forming the inner bolting-surface, and K represents the covering of bolting-cloth applied to the heads E and H and forming the outer bolting-sur face. The clothing J is supported by rings 3', which are connected to the ribs I by means of intermediate posts, 9', through which pass fastening-bolts whereby the ringsj are secured to the posts and the latter to the ribs, as represented in Fig. 7. The posts j are provided on one side with ears 9', on which are supported stay-pieces k, which support rings 7c, over which the outer cloth, K, 1s stretched. The stay-pieces 7- are secured to the ears by bolts k which serve,a1so, to secure the rings 7a to said stay-pieces. The peripheral flanges of the heads 13 and F are provided with annular recesses Z, in which are placed rings L, provided with lacing-hooks; and the ends of the clothing J are provided with strips of ticking, Z, which are also provided with lacing-hooks, and the two sets of lacing-hooks at each end of the reel are con- Jected by a lacing-cord, whereby the cloth is stretched on the reel. The outer cloth, K, is provided at one end with a rim, m, which is ield on arecess, it, of the ring H by a ring, a, as clearly shown in Fig. 5, and its oppo- ;ite end with a binding of ticking, n, provid- .d with lacing-hooks,which are connected by t lacing-cord with similar hooks applied to he ring a, which is seated in a recess formed 11 the flange e of the ring E. The rings L re applied to the heads B and F before the ings E and H are secured to said heads, and he cloth J is stretched on the heads B and F efore the outer cloth ,K, is applied to the rings D and H. V

0 represents a series of radial bars or rods, eeured with their outer ends in the ribs I, and onnected at their inner ends to a ring, 0, diich is provided with radial openings 0", for he reception of the inner ends of said rods, lid in which openings said rods are secured y set-screws 0.

0 represents sliding'weights applied to the ads 0, so as to move on said rods between 1e ribs I and the ring 0. The ring 0 isrigid, nd the rods 0 are rigidly connected to said ng, so that the latter forms a rigid abutment, gainst which the knockers strike at the end :their inward movement. The blow of the nocker against the ring is transmitted by the )d 0 to the reel-frame, so that the latter is ,rred at every inward and outward moveent of the knocker. As thereel rotates, the eights resting upon the ring 0 are by the iange in position of the rods caused to de- :end on the rods and strike the ribs I or [(3 ring 0 with sui'licient force to. jar the )lting-c loth of the reel and dislodge any marial which may adhere to the same. As )th the inner and the outer bolting-cloths 'e supported 011 the ribs I, the jar of the eights is transmitted by the supporting trts to the outer bolting-cloth, whereby the tter is also kept clear. 1? represents the spout or receptacle which ceives the tailings from the opening f, and scharges the same through the inclosingsing of the machine. Q represents a screw-conveyer,of any suitle construction, arranged underneath the 31, and having its trough (1 formed with itable openings and slides, q Q2, whereby a material collected by the conveyor can be ;charged. R represents a transverse partition secured in the inclosingcasing at the tail end of the reel, so as to separate the space which receives the material bolted through the outer covering, K, from the space It, which receives the material passing out through the openings in the ring H. The bottom of the space R is provided with an opening and slide, through which the material delivered into said space can be withdrawn. The shaft of the conveyer Q is rotated by an endless chain, 8, or other suitable means, and pref erably provided with stirrer-s s in the lower part of the space R,to facilitate the discharge of the material therefrom.

The machine represented in the accompanying drawings is more especially designed for use as a scalping-recl in the system of gradual reduction, where it is desirable to effect a quick separation of the flour and middlings from the coarse particles in order to prevent the impurities contained in the Wheat from deteriorating the quality of the flour or middlings. This object is effectually attained by my improved machine. The reduced material enters the reel through the spout a, and the inner bolting-surface, J, separates the flour and middlings from the coarser wheat-fragments, while the outer covering, K, separates the flour from the middlings. The flour is sifted through the covering K,While the middlings escape through the openings of the ring H into the space R, and the wheat-fragments or other coarse tailings are elevated by the ribs 9 and discharged through the openings f and spout P.

I claim as my invention 1. The combination, in a bolting-reel, of two concentric bolting-cylinders, K J, a feed device whereby the material to be bolted is delivered into the inner bolting-cylinder, deflector G, ribs g, and head F, provided with opening 1'', whereby the tailings are discharged from the inner bolting-cylinder, and the perforated ring H, secured to the head F, whereby the tailings are discharged from the outerboltingcylinder, substantially as set forth.
