Grain Separator. No. 41,032. Patented Dec. 22, 1863.

UNITED STATES ATENT FFICE.
IMPROVEMENT lN GRAlN-SEPARATORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 11,032, dated December 22, 1863.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH VAN HOUTEN, of Mount Morris, in the county of Livingston and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grain- Separators; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,referencc being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification. in which- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of the shoe of an ordinary fanning-mill with my improvement attached. Fig. 2 is a view of the rear end of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
This invention relates to that class of improvements designed for separating oats and chess from wheat and barley; and it consists in providing the upper or wheat sieve of any ordinary fanning-mill with an adjustable or sliding board, whereby the grain is conveyed farther down the sieve, or not so far, before it is allowed to pass through, such changes being required for heavy or light grain.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, 1 will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
A in the drawings represents the sides of the shoe of ordinary fanningmills, and they are connected by the bottom J, girt G, and curved chute-board B. The dotted lines H, Fig. 1, represent the feed-hopper, the curved dotted lines the drum of the tan, and the arrows the direction of the blast. The gains 0 in the sides A are provided for the reception of the sieves and screens, which are held in place by the rods 1), passing through their frames, and the staples c.
In applying this invention the sieve (l and screen F are used as provided in the ordinary fanning-mill, and in the same adjustment. The zinc plate D is made to fit loosely between the sides A, and nearly or quite wide enough to'reach from the lower edge of the board B to the center, longitudinally, of the sieve O, and the setscrews .9 pass through a slot in each end, thus securing itto the sieveframe. The slots allow the plateto be moved up or downby loosening the set screws 8, so as to cover more or less of the area of the sieve O, as may be required. The division-board E may be made one-third (more or less) as wide as the length ot'the upper sieve, and may be faced with a zinc plate. Each end is provided with several holes for therods b to pass through. The front edge of the boa-rd E may be thick enough to fill the gain 0, but it should be tapered, as seen in Fig. 1, so that the rear edge may be raised or lowered. There may be a wedge put in the gain at each end of the board to keep it in the desired position.
Operation: The plate I) should be set far enough down to cause thesmalloats and chess, that work through the sieve soon after being exposed to its surface, to be caught by the division'board E and discharged from the shoe, thus completing the separation at that point, whereby the ordinary screen F may be retained without change in its construction or adjustment, and thus the cookie and other small seeds may be screened from the wheat.
or barley d'urin g the process ofseparatin g the oats and chess. 1f the cats to be separated are very light the throat space between the lower edge of the plate D and front edge of the board E may be increased by sliding the plate up and moving the board farther back, which latter may be done by removing the rods 0. The blast should be very steady and the shake of the shoe very light and easy.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
Providing the upper end of the wheat-sieve O with an adjustable plate or covering, D, substantiall y in the manner and for the purposes set forth.
JOSEPH VAN HOUTEN.
