DISTRIBUTIVE DEPOSITING OR PANNIN'G MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent `N' o. 684,789, dated October 22, 1901. Application filed December 30, 1899. Serial No. 742,121. (No model.)
T0 @ZZ wir/0711, it' may concern:
Be it known that I,LOUIS S. BURBANK,a citizen of the United States, residing at lVorcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massacl1usetts,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Distributive Depositing or Panning Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my machine. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4 4, Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 is a detail view illustrating the adjusting mechanism for the depositing-lip.
The object of the invention is to provide a machine for depositing in regular order and in parallel rows upon pans or receivers sections or cakes of shredded wheat or other preparations for cooking and for such other purposes as it may be found useful; and it consists in the novel construction and combinations of devices, as hereinafter set forth,
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating this invention, the letter A designates the main frame of the machine, and B a pulley having its bearings therein near one end, its shaft?) projecting for the application of power. Around the pulley B passes one end portion of a carrier-belt D, which extends horizontally along the frame and passes around the small end pulley c and below and around the takeup pulley E and the tension-pulley F, the latter being also connected to the main frame of the machine, an adjustable bearing f being provided for thc purpose. The pulleys c and E are mounted in bearings of a reciprocating carriage G, the operation of which is designed to alternately shorten and lengthen the carrying portion of the belt D', so that While the receiving portion of this belt moves along continuously and steadily with the sections of biscuit or cakes deposited thereon the other end portion of the belt shortens and lengthens itself alternately, by the one movement depositing the biscuit-sections upon the receiver or pan Z and by the other movement carrying forward the line or feed of biscuit-sections to be deposited in the second row upon Said receiver or pan parallel to the first row, a lateral adjustment and longitudinal retraction of the receiver or pan taking place While the depositing-belt is lengthening. The reciprocating carriage G is geared to moveat the same rate of speed as the pulley B and as the reciprocating carriage N of the receivers or pans.
The main frame is provided with slidcways I for the carriage G, to which is connected the small end pulley c and the intermediate pulley E, which whenl the delivery portion of the belt is retracted by the backward movement of the carriage G also moves backward and serves as a take-up for the shorteningbelt.
M indicates a reversing-shaft having a pinion m, which engages by its upper portion the rack g of the beltcarriage G and by its lower portion the rack n of the carriage N of the pans or receivers. By means of this pinion and, a reversing-shipper, in connection with fast and loose pulleys at Z, these carriages are reci procated in opposite directions,
but at the same rate of speed.
The carriage N of the receivers havingthe lower rack n carries the sprockets of the chains S, upon which the receivers or pans are placed in position to receive the biscuitsections from the depositing portion of the belt D. The sprocketv chains run transversely, and they are provided with guidestuds s, placed at proper intervals to insure the correct position of the pans when laid on said chains. The operation of these sprocketchains by means of slide-shaft s', its pawl device r, and the cam .l serves to give the proper intermittent lateral movement to the receivers or pans. This lateral movement is effected as the carriage is moving backward, the slide-shaft of the sprockets during this movement moving its pawl device or disk along the camway R', so that one of its pawls r engages the spiral cam-rib R, turning said shaft. During the forward movement of the carriage the pawl r passes loosely over the cam-rib ,so that there is no engagement therewith, and the pan on the carriage moves in a direct line.
At the end of the carriage G is provided a depositing lip or slide V, which takes the biscuit-sections from the end ofthe carrier-belt D and passes them down its incline to the receiver. By means of suitable gearing (indicated at c and w and operating in connection with the reversing mechanism) this depositing-lip is raised at the end of the movement of delivery and held in the raised position until the extended belt D is ready to place another row of biscuit-sections on the receiver, when said lip is lowered promptly to inclined position and so held until the delivery of this row is completed. The movement of reversal of the depositing-lip takes place at the time of the movement of reversal of the carriages, and is effected by the same reversing devices. A sleeve-screw c' in connection with the threaded end of the rod w serves to change the relative position of said worm, so that an adjustment of the degree of inclination of the depositing-lip lnay be readily effected while the machine is in motion. The reversing mechanism is operated automatically by the carriage G through its lugs Z and Z', which alternately engage a boss l" of the switch-lever P. The lugs Zand l are slides which are adjustableon a longitudinally-adjustable bar at the side of the carriage, which serves as a bearing for said lugs, being engaged by longitudinal channels in the bottoms thereof. These lugs when their adjustment is fixed on this bar are conjointly adjustable by means of a rightand-left screw b, engaging a threaded lug of said bar. As either or both lugs are therefore adjustable, means are provided for lengthening or shortening the stroke or varying its position. These adjustments are important in arranging the terminal position of the receiver-carriage as well as that of the delivering-lip ot the carrying-belt with reference to the positions of the biscuit-sections. The switch-lever P by means of the slide p' actuates the reversing-belts of the fast and loose pulleys and also operates thereversinggear of the delivery-lip. The biscuit-sections being fed in regular succession upon the belt D are by means of its reciprocating end portion and the depositing-lip placed upon the receiver or pan, the operating mechanism of which by effecting arl-intermittent lateral movement of said receiver or pan serves to produce an arrangement of the biscuit-sections in parallel rows thereon. As one pan is lled another pan is placed upon the carriage to be lled. Usually the receiver-carriage is made wide enough to hold two or more pans side by side in order to give the attendant time enough to remove a filled pan and to place an empty one upon the sprocketbelts while an intermediate pan is being filled.
Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
