Cider Mill
|
Orlando Clarke |
Rockford, Winnebago County, IL |
Abstract:
In cider-mills as heretofore constructed, the apples are liable either to be cut into small pieces without compression, which prevents the escape of the juice, or else to be crushed into so fine a pulp as to cause it to pack when pressed, and thus require more power to express the juice than many of the machines, particularly those of the smaller class, (known as "hand-machines",) are capable of exerting, whereby great loss of juice is occasioned. It is the object of my invention to reduce apples and other fruit to a pulp of -uniform consistency, the degree of fineness of which is completely under the control of the attendant in order to suit the varying conditions under which the machine is required to operate; and to this end my improvement consists, first, in the employment of two grinding or cutting disks (one or both of which have convex conical grinding-surfaces) so combined that one shall rotate faster than the other in order to give the fruit a rotating movement, substantially as hereinafter shown; secondly, in so combining the two grinding-disks that while mounted on oblique shafts independent of each other they shall be driven by gearing from the same counter-shaft, thereby insuring the proper relation of the movements of the two disks; thirdly, in mounting the entire mechanism in a metallic shell or casing for the purpose of preventing warping or twisting of the parts.
Claim:
The combination of two grinding-disks, (one or both of which have a convex conical grinding-surface,) when one of said disks rotates faster than the other to impart a rolling motion to the fruit. |

Cane Mill
|
Orlando Clarke |
Rockford, Winnebago County, IL |
Abstract:
It is the object of my intention to support the rollers and driving-gear in a compact frame, under an arrangement that will prevent the rollers from clogging or the expressed juice from being wasted; and to this, end my invention consists, first, in placing the rollers, driving-shaft and-gear, and receiving-pan ear the juice, in a compact frame that shall constitute the ends of the pan and support the driving-shaft in adjustable bearings; second, in a scraper that shall clean the roller without obstructing the escape of the expressed juice.
Claim:
The arrangement, in a cane-mill, substantially as described, of the frame, the rollers, the feeding-tube, the pan the scraper |

Rock-Drilling Machine
|
Orlando Clarke |
Rockford, Winnebago County, IL |
Abstract:
The object of our invention is to improve the machines employed to operate the drill in well-drilling machines, the drills employed being of that class known in the art as the "churn-drill".
Claim:
The combination, in a well-drilling ma-chine, of the mast B fitted with sheaves a, b, and c, operating lever C fitted with sheave d, and rope E from the spool D, passing over and under the sheaves a, b, c, and d, as described, for the purpose of imparting a churning motion to a drill attached to the free end of the rope E by means of a down-and-up movement of the free end of the lever C. |
