Description
g2g-W WNW@ I TER JAMES n. KnLsnY, or BROOKLYN, NEW. YORK.
Letters Patent No. 99,910, dated February 15, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN KINDLING-WOOD ELEVATORS.
The Schedulezelen'ed to ln these Letters Patent and making part of the lame.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J AMES KnLsnY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in KindlingWood Elevators; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable Others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in which- Figure'l is a vertical longitudinal section of my improved elevator taken through the line rcx, lig. 2.
Figure 2 is a front view of the same, partly 'in section, through the line y y, fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
My invention has for its-object to furnish' an improved elevator, designed especially for elevating kindling-wood in the factory 'where it is prepared for market; and
It consists 'in the construction and combination of various parts of the apparatus, as hereinafter more fully described.
A is the door of the elevator-way or spout'which passes up preferably in an inclined direct-ionl from the lower to tne upper parts of the building, as shown vin B are the sides of the way, which maybe made straight or slightly inclined, and which I' prefer to make continuous from the bottomv to thev top of the elevator. 2
C are two rollers, pivoted, the one 'at the upper and the other at the lower end of the floor A, in such positions that the forward sides of said rollers may be about upon a line with or only slightly in advance ot' the floor A, as shown in fig. 1.
Motion may be given to the rollers/C by any convenient power.
I) is an endless belt that passes around the rollers C, and which moves up the face of the'loor A, as shown in tig. 1.
To the vbelt D, at suitable distances apart, are attached buckets, wings, or anges, E, as shown in I and 2, the length ot'- wliich equals or exceeds'the breadth of the belt D.
The belt D may be made of any desired or convenient breadth, and the door A should be made considerably wider than the breadth of the said belt and buckets, so that the ends of the wood being elevated may project beyond the ends of the buckets E, without stiiking' against the sides B of the elevator-way vand being knocked oli' the buckets E, or wedging against said sides and thus choking or breaking the elevator.
F is the hopper, the throat of which is made 'of such a size as to t upon the buckets E, allowing the said buckets to pass through freely, but preventing the downward passage of any wood `past said buckets.
The throat of the hopper F should extend downward about the space of two buckets, so that at least one bucket may always be in the said throat to prevent th'e downward passage through said throat of any ofthe wood.
The hopper F may be permanently attached to the elevator-way, but-I prefer to make it detachable, so
that it may be shifted from one loor to another as may be required.
G are inclined side pieces extending upward from thev hopper F, for about the space of two buckets, and the upper endsv of which are made to incline inward toward the buckets E, and at the same time slightly inclinel toward the front or hopper' F, as shown in ligs. land 2, so that any wood that may drop from the buckets' while being carried upward, m'ay be guided bygsaid inclines back .upon the lowerjbnckets or into the hopper, and be again taken up by the buckets.
The forward sides of the pieces G- may also be slightly inclined inward to further assist' in guiding the wood that may happen to fall back intothe hopper.
Thepieces G maybe connected with the elevatorway or with the hopper F, so as to be 4detached with said hopper, as may he desired or convenient.
The latter construction I prefer, as it leavesthe elevator clear andl unobstructed except at the single place where. the hopper may be placed.
Havingthus described my invention,
I 4claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters' l. The combination of' the guide-pieces G, con structed as described, with the hopper F and door A of the elevator-way', whether said piecesbe attached tov said hopper or to said door, substantially as herein 'shown and described and for the .purpose set forth.
3. An improved kindlidgw'ood elevator, formed by the combination.' of the wide .oor- A, either with or without the side pieces' B, rollers O, belt D', buckets E, hopper F, and vguide-pieces G, with each other,
' said parts being constructed and operatingsuhstantially as hereinshown and described 'andffor the purpose set forth.
The abovespecication of luy invention signed b vme, this 30th day of November, 1869.
' JAMES E. KELSEY.
