Shaft 159 is journalled in the gear box and cover 13-15 by roller bearings 208.
Helical gear 167 is journalled upon shaft 164 and is secured to gear 163 by fastener 165 for rotation therewith with bushing 75 interposed between gear 167 and said shaft.
Gear 167 is in mesh with helical gear which is journalled upon shaft 109 with a suitable bushing 75 interposed. Said shaft is journalled within the gear box boss 1 11 and a corresponding boss 1 12 on the gear box cover with bushing 75 interposed and with corresponding roller end thrust bearing 79.
The outer end of shaft 109 corresponding to the shaft 65 is similarly square at 81 and projects within a square opening in bushing 83 secured within the inner end of feed screw 112. A suitable adjusting screw 85 is positioned within the said inner end of said screw for registry with shaft 109.
Longitudinally reciprocal clutch 171 slidably positioned upon the spline 173 of shaft 164 is adapted for interlocking registry with the clutch element 169 upon gear 167 so that when said clutch is engaged by movement of handle 210 upon the exterior of the gear housing, shaft 164 will rotate effecting rotation of its corresponding pinion 174, FIG. 1.
Helical gear 175 journalled upon shaft 109, also has a clutch element 177 adapted for cooperative registry selectively with the longitudinally reciprocal clutch 179 slidably positioned upon the splined portion 181 of shaft 109 for driving the same. This is under the selective control of a lever 212 on the outside of said gear box and connected to clutch 179.
The power rotated gear 175 mounts axially thereon sprocket gear 183 which through a suitable sprocket chain 185, is in driving engagement with the sprocket gear 187 on sprocket support 184 journalled upon shaft 65 with a suitable bushing 75 interposed.
The sprocket gear 187 has a clutch element 191 adapted for selective registry upon longitudinal adjustment of the clutch 69 with respect to the spline 67 of shaft 65 under the manual control of a swing lever 70 upon the exterior of the gear housing, FIG. 2.
Pinion 174 is in mesh with spur gear 193 which is affixed to the inner paddle drive shaft 117 as at 135 for rotating the same.
Spur gear 195 is coaxially positioned with respect to shaft 117 and at 197 is secured to the drive sleeve 141 journalled on shaft 117 for effecting rotation of the outer paddle assembly 151. An intermediate idler gear, not shown, is interposed between pinion 174 and gear 195 for driving the same in a direction opposite from the direction of rotation of gear 193.
By this construction, the outer paddle assembly 151 is adapted to rotate clockwise, whereas, the inner paddle assembly is adapted to rotate counterclockwise and simultaneously for the material mixing operation within tank 21.
OPERATION In normal operation the motor M when energized effects rotation of the driven shaft 159 and its pinion 161, causing rotation of gear 163 journalled upon shaft 164. This causes rotation of gear 167 journalled upon shaft 164 and corresponding power rotation of gear 175 journalled upon worm drive shaft 109. There is simultaneous rotation of sprocket gear 183 as well as the corresponding upper sprocket gear 187 journalled upon worm drive shaft 65.
Thus, with the motor energized, the respective gears are rotating continuously; namely, pinion 161, FIG. 4, gear 163, gear 167, gear 175, sprocket 183, sprocket 187.
Gear 167 has a clutch element 169 adapted for selective registry with the longitudinally reciprocal clutch 171 upon shaft 164 for effecting power rotation of shaft 164.
Similarly, gear 175 has a clutch element 177 adapted for cooperative registry with longitudinally reciprocal clutch 179 on shaft 109 for rotating the same.
Accordingly, there is provided upon the exterior of the gear box three vertically disposed clutch control handles 70, 210 and 212 for the corresponding top clutch 69 to control rotation of the worm drive shaft 65, the intermediate clutch 171 for effecting rotation of shaft 164 and its pinion 174 for effecting rotation in opposite directions of the paddle drive gears 193 and 195.
At the same time, the lower clutch 179 has a separate manual control for bringing it into drive engagement with the corresponding clutch element on gear 175 for rotation of screw drive shaft 109.
Thus, with the motor energized with the upper clutch conrol 70 moved to an in" position, there will be a rottive drive of feed screw 45 in the upper grinder head so that meat or other materials introduced within the hopper 43 will be fed outwardly through the grinder plate 55 and down into tank 21.
With or without the feed screw 45 rotating, the mixing mechanism including inner and outer paddles for simultaneous rotation in opposite directions may be activated by manual control 210 of the middle clutch 171 to an energizing position causing; powered rotation of shaft 164, its pinion 174 and the two gears 193 and 195.
Gear 193 rotates the inner paddle drive shaft 117 in one directin and the gear 195 through an intermediate gear effects rotation of the outer paddle drive sleeve 141 in the opposite direction.
Thus, continuous rotation of the inner and outer paddles for the mixing operation can continue under manual control during operation of the coarse grinder head or with the operation of the coarse grinder head inter rupted.
The fine grind is accomplished in conjunction with the outward feed of the products mixed by activation of the lower clutch arm 212 for engaging the third clutch 179 to, thus, effect rotation of the feed screw 112 within the channel 31, said screw projecting into the lower fine grinder head 93.
Thus the fine grinder head 93 may operate alone or operate in conjunction with the continuous mixing of the inner and outer paddles and with or without continuous operation of the coarse grinder head 39.
Any one of these three may be operated alone or in conjunction with any other or any other two elements. Thus, the fine grinding and mixing can be accomplished and coarse grinding all at the same time in a continuous operation as desired.
In FIG. 2, the clutch control 210 is illustrated in detail and is the same for clutch controls and 212. The control shaft 216 is rotatively anchored at 218 with respect to the column 19. Its inner end is biased into the gear box 13 at 220 and journalled at 222. The eccentric 224 on the inner end nests within a slotted portion of clutch 171. Thus, clockwise rotation of control 210 will effect movement of the clutch to the right to engage the clutch element 169 on gear 167 to cause rotation of shaft 164.
The motor M, FIG. 2, is anchored at 226 upon support plate 228 on one side pivotally mounted at 230 upon base 17. Its opposite side is adjustable at 232 for regulating the tension in timing belt 202.
Elongated rectangular loading tray 234 has a pair of lateral trunions 236 intermediate its ends which pivotally nest in and are removable from a pair of spaced brackets 238 on the column 19. The throated outlet 240 on the bottom of the tray at one end cooperatively nest down into the hopper 43.
Apertured safety guard plate 242 is spaced above outlet 240 by a pair of support posts 244. These have a shoulder 246 which rest upon the tray. Portions of the post extend through the tray bottom and include lateral locking notches 248. These are adapted to receive the ends of swing latches 250 pivotally mounted upon the under side of the tray at 252, FIG. 3.
