Description
PATENT ErrcEo S. J. HOMAN, OF WALDEN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN CIDER-IVIILLS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,297, dated June 5, 1866.
To all whom t may concern.
Be itknown that 1, S. J. HOMAN, of Walden, in the county of Orange and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Cider-Mill; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specication, in which- Figure l is a vertical central section of my invention, and Fig. 2 a plan sectional view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.
The object of this invention is to obtain a machine that will crush the apples and then` scrape the broken or crushed parts, so as to form a pulpy mass similar to the pulp that is formed by scraping' an apple with a knife or similar instrument. This pulp may be very readily compressed, so as to extract all the juice from it, the power required for the purpose being quite moderate.
The invention consists in the employment or use of a rotating cylinder provided with longitudinal knives or scrapers, and placedV within a hopper provided with stationary projections orledges and an adjustable knife or plate, all'being arranged substantially as hereinafter shown and described to effect the desired result.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
A represents a frame, which may be constructed of rectangular form, and B is a cylin der, which is placed on said frame A, and is provided with longitudinal radial knives or scrapers C, which extend the whole length of the cylinder. These knives or scrapers may be constructed of steel plates fitted into the periphery of the cylinder and secured therein inU any proper way, the knives or scrapers being allowed to project a suitable distance from the periphery of the cylinder. Over this cylinder B a hopper, D, is placed. This hopper has an inclined position, or itmay be described as being tangental with cylinder B, (see Fig. l.) The back plate, a, of this hopper has a plane or smooth surface throughout 5 but the front plate, I), has a projection or ledge, c,
which may be formed by a rabbet, d, in the plate b, or by making said plate of two separate parts,cf, connected at g, as shown clearlyin Fig.
prising the front plate, b, is essential, as will be presently explained.
The lower part of the front end of the hopper is formed of a cross-har, t', having' a vertical bar or plate, j, attached; and to the upper surface of the bar a knife, E, is attached.
This knife E is about in line with or a little below the center of cylinder B, and the knife may be adjusted nearer to or farther from cylinder B, as circumstances may reqpire.
The cylinder B is rotated in the direction of the arrow by any convenient power, and the apples to be crushed and reducedv to the desired pulp are placed in the hopper I), and are rst crushed between the ledge c and the cylinder B. This crushing operation is greatly facilitated by the oblique position of the part j' relatively with cylinder B, a wedge-shaped or taper passage being thereby formed, which enables the apples to be crushed with a moderate power. The apples, after being crushed at this point, (the ledge 0,) pass down in contact with the part e and are subjected to a second crushing operation at the lower edge, 71., of part e. The face side of the part e is not so much inclined asf, and being below the ledge c, and extendin g down in front of the cylinder B, the knives or scrapers C act upon the portions in a more direct manner, and have aA tendency to cut the same rather than crush them.
By this last operation the apples are still further reduced, and the parts pass down andare scraped into a pulpy mass by the action of the knives or scrapers O of cylinder B and the stationary knife E.
The pulp falls into a suitable box or receiver, F, and the juice may be expressed from it by the ordinary screwpress, designated by G. By adjusting the knife E the apples may be scraped coa-rser or finer, as desired. i
I am aware that knives have been attached to rotating cylinders, and the latter arranged spective of arrangement, any of the parts herewith toothed and corrugated coneaves for the in shown and described; but
purpose ot' grinding and crushing different I do claim as new and desire to secure by articles; but I am not aware that a cylinder Letters Patentof knives has heretofore been used with ahop- The adjustable knife E, operating, in cornper provided with ledges or projecting edges bination with the Scrapers C of the cylinder B, at the ends ofinelined surfaces having differin the manner and for' the purpose herein ent degrees of inclination for the purpose of specified. r operating in connection with the knives of the S. J. HUMAN. cylinder consecutively on the apples, as set Witnesses:
forth. JOHN C. SooFrELD,
I do not claim, therefore, separately, or irre- A. W. COOKE.
