Definitions
- This invention relates to the process of consolidating peat by forcing it through'a tube or die; and the'object thereof is to produce a more dense and compact article of peat fuel, Heretofore peat containing the natural. fiber has been compressed by pushing it through a tube or die with a plunger. While the density of the peat may be increased to a considerable extent by a pushing or pressing plungerQit cannot be consolidated into a hard substance, like coal, by this means, because it takes too much power and the spring of the fiber prevents consolidation and pressure does not release the tar.

PATENT OFFIC ART AND PROCESS OF CONSOLKDATING FEAT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 752,064, dated February 16, 1904. Application filed Qctober 11, 1902. Serial 110.126,!)31. (K0 specimens.)
To all whom it may concern: Be it known that we, JAMES O. GREEN and HARRY T. MARTIN, citizens of the United States, residing at Whitewater, in the. county of Walworth and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Art and Process of Consolidating Peat, of which the following is I use of great power.
a specification. I
This invention relates to the process of consolidating peat by forcing it through'a tube or die; and the'object thereof is to produce a more dense and compact article of peat fuel, Heretofore peat containing the natural. fiber has been compressed by pushing it through a tube or die with a plunger. While the density of the peat may be increased to a considerable extent by a pushing or pressing plungerQit cannot be consolidated into a hard substance, like coal, by this means, because it takes too much power and the spring of the fiber prevents consolidation and pressure does not release the tar. When, however, a hammer is substituted for the press'and the fiber is destroyed by grinding, the heat produced by hammering the peat-powder when dry releases the tar and the particles of peat can be pounded together into a solid mass without the Tn our invention therefore we use any suitable device or contrivance for hammering or pounding the peat through a tube or die in carrying out our process, as follows: First, dry peat is ground into a fine powder; second, the peat-powder is pounded in a tube or die by any suitable hammeringmachine delivering a succession-of sharp quick blows with sufficient rapidity to produce heat mering or pounding with sufficient rapidity to produce heat enough by the impact to release the tar in the peat for the purpose of binding the whole together.
In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JAMES C. GREEN. HARRY T. MARTIN.
