Definitions
- My invention relates to the process of converting the hulled kernels of oats into a coarse meal. This ordinarily is done by crushing the grain between rollers, or grinding with burrs or millstones, and subsequently screening the product into different grades of meal. The objection to this process is that the product is of inferior quality, While a large percentage -of the best part of the grain is reduced to a line flour, which is of much less value than the coarse meal.
- the object of my invention is to make a meal of superior quality and to avoid the loss of any part of the grain in flour. I accomplish this by means of a hopper with a perforated metallic bottom, having a free motion above a series of horizontal knives, so arranged that the oats falling endwise through the bottom of the hopper shall be sheared off by the horizontal knives as the hopper moves across them.
- Figure 1 is a perspective "iew of my machine
- Fig. 2 an enlarged cross-section of a portion of the perforated bottom of the hopper and the knives, to show the arrangement and construction thereof.
- A is a frame of suitable size, extending across which is a series of horizontal knives, D.
- B is the hopper, having a perforated metallic bottom, 0, which rests upon the knives I), the whole sliding freely within the frame A, and held in place by the guides E E. Motion is communicated to the hopper B by means of the pitman F, shaft Gr with crank 1-1, and pulley K.
- the holes in the plate 0 are countersunk for a portion of their depth, and are of such size in the smaller part that the kernels of hulled oats will fall endwise through them, as shown at i in Fig. 2.
- the knives represented in the drawing consist of a thin plate of steel, sharpened on both edges,
- An oatmeal-machine consisting of a perforated feeder, and one, two, or more bars, or cutting-blades, said bars or blades and perforated feeder placed in such relation and juxtaposition that the movement of either, (the other being stationary,) or opposite movements of both, will crush, fracture, or cut kernelsot' grain extending through the perforations of said feeder. substantially as shown, and for the purpose specified.
- a perforated feeder, U substantially as and for the piirpose described.
