PATENT OFFICE

The usual washing machines for potatoes, beets and similar tubers are limited to the materials to be washed either in the manner of an agitator to whip around in the water or to make a tumbling motion in a sieve cylinder to share.

The devices of the former type, usually referred to as stone catchers, are only capable of to remove the coarsest impurities, while the washing drums by closing them Always have to pick up washing fruits, require a lot of strength.

The following drawings show one machine in another Way works.

The small sieve drum a, which is also provided with one or two screw plates or inclined slats on the inside, receives the fruit to be cleaned by means of a filling hull (gutter), which is always designed, and allows the easily adhering dry dust and dirt to fall through while the material after the Wash basin b reaches. This can be made of wood, as a tub , or of iron and contains a sieve bottom cc, which mainly consists of radially placed iron rods. (The drawing is performed only a quarter of this screen deck altogether.) In the center the bars are replaced by a screen plate, as is a piece of screen plate dd to verschliefsen to an opening in the rod of soil, which overall the. washed fruits are allowed to exit from α . Above this opening rr two rods or other suitable fixing points.

a number (depending on the size of the apparatus 3 to 6) chains qq suspended in such a way that the blades gg can easily go away from underneath. These chains have the effect that the fruits to be washed do not slide floating over the blades gg and the opening dd , but are pushed into the latter. In the middle of the wash basin there is a vertical shaft e , which is operated by the horizontal crankshaft / through bevel gears and has four impact arms or blades gg . The wash basin is also connected to a box k through h , so that both vessels are filled with water at the same level. A conically shaped bottom made of sticks / is attached to the box k , and the blades, which are opposite to one another and are inclined in the same sense, move in grids ί s.

The fruits that have passed through α to b are moved by the arms gg on the vibrating or sieve bottom c in a roll and rolling in a horizontal direction.

Partly lifted by the water, they rush each other over and over, and give off their dirt all the more as the rods c oppose their circular motion transversely.

Like most stones, the dirt falls into the space below c. During this operation the sieve plate d is lifted into the plane of c by means of the rod m and is held there. Then d is lowered into the position drawn on the longitudinal section and the fruits fall, driven through gg , into the box k.- There they are 'grasped by the shovels ί, namely when

the movement of the latter takes place in the direction indicated by the arrows, on the inclined sieve surface formed by rods / driven upwards, to finally, with the aid of the buoyancy by the Aasser at η, thrown over the edge of the box k and into a prepared vessel will. The inflow of pure water should take place in box k, but an overflow should be attached at b at a suitable height. The mud and dirt, as well as stones, are removed through deep cleaning openings, as with any other washing machine. Instead of using a hand crank / any other type of main shaft / movement can be communicated. Patent claims: 1. The scoops on a vertical axis, which carry the washing objects over a horizontal, The sieve or riddle bottom made of radially positioned rods roll down. 2. The transfer of the same from one of the two communicating vessels into the others by means of the flap in the sieve bottom. 3. The attachment of chains q, which transport this transfer. 4. The conically shaped sieve tray formed from rods or in a similar manner / in the box Ίι. jr For this purpose I sheet drawings.
