JAMES A. LYNCH, OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.
BEET DUMP.
Application filed November 14, 1921.
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be-it lrnowii that I, JAMES A. LYNCH, a citizen of the United States, residin at Salt Lake Cit in the county of Salt ske .and State of lltah, have invented a ne7 and useful Beet Dump, of which the following is a specification. Y
This invention relates.. to en apperatus especially designed .for handling beets, the primary object of the invention being to provide. endless conveyors for loading. beets into ears or the likefor transporting the same to refineries. l
Another object of the invention is to provide ineens forfeedino beets directly onto the endless conveyor., eliminating the necessity of providing seperate .feeders for ac complishing this result.
A still further object of the invention is to .provide ineens for separating foreign matter from the beets during the passage of Ythe beetsv from the endless'conveyors.
1 Another. object of the invention is to provide agitating means for agitating the beets ou their passage over the yendless conveyor .to rinsure the foreign matter being separated from the beets.
VWith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as 'the description proceeds, the Ainvention resides in the combination and nrriingement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in'the recise embodiment of the invention herein isclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed,r without de arting frein the spirit of the invention.
eferring to the drawings l Fivure l is e-sidepelevntional view.0f n beet llitindling apparatus constructed in ac cordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the saine.
Figure 3 is a fragmental enlarged detail view of the cleaning section of the beet lia-ndliug apparatus.
Figure 4 is e sectional view taken on line 4 4 of Figure 1.
vFigure 5 is a sectional view teken on line 5-5 of Figure 3.
Figure 6 is a sectional view taken on line 6-6 of Figure 3.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the reference character 5 designates e suitable unloading platform which is'supported as is a hook,.niember that when. the body 15 thereof hopper 16 lies over the lower endless conveyor 17 and houses the upper 4 of the drawings. These boards 19 Serial No. 515,015.
`l2 moves during the .operation of dum inv e. wagon body. At one-end of the cab e l i 13 which Iis designed to be positioned mthe link member 14 carried by the movable wegen body 1 5.
A hopper 16 has its upper extremity disposed `in proximity to the .wagon which is positioned on the unloadingv .platformi-So is tilted, the beets contained in the body 15 will fall into the hopper 16, The lower extremity of the portion of the portion thereof, so that the beets delivered into the hopper will be directed to the endless conveyor 17.
This endless conveyor `operiites over the idlerollers 18 which are supported within the conveyor freine 19 which is formed in any suitable manner and rovided with inclined boards 19 which ave their lower ends disposed in spaced relation with the side ed es of the vconveyor and arran ed directly t ereover, as clearly shown byigure extend along the outer edgosof the frame and prevent the beets that move with the conveyor, from passing laterally therefrom.
The lower end of the conveyor is disposed in the pit 7, while the upper end thereof is disposed in e plane so elevated .that the 4upper end of the conve or will lie in proximity to a carer siinilnr ondin device, to receive material therefrom. upported by the conveyor frame at the respective ends thereof are the rollers 20 and 21, the roller 2O being supported in suitable adjustable bearings so that the conveyor may be tout stall times.
Mounted :it one end of the roller 21 is a sprocket wheel 22 which receives motion from the power device, throu h the chain 23, pinion 9A and gear 25 wiich receives motion from the power device 26 as through ineens of the belt 27, pulley 28 :ind pinion 29.
The conveyor frame is supported at its outer end by means of the posts 30 and 31 to the lutter of which is secured nu ex.-
tension frame 32 that provides a support for the ho per 33 and endless conveyor 34 which is isposed under the discharge end of the conveyor 17 to receive material therefrom, the outer end oi the conveyor 34 being adjustable in a vertical plane as by means of the cable 35 which moves over s suitable drum 36 controlled by means of the hand lever 37. A
The conveyor 34 constitutes the cleaning element oftheapparatiis'and comprises end rollers 3B and 39. thc roller 38 being'vsupported in adjustablebearings 40 controlled by the bolt 4:1 so that the slack in the oonveyor 34 may be regulated at the will of the operator. i
Thiscdnveyor also embodies a suitable frame-work 42 in which are supported the idl'e rollers 43 over which'the endless conveyor 34 moves, therebeing provided en apron 44 at the loiver portion of the 'frame and over which the lovver portion ofv'the conveyor 34 moves for catching lforeign matter that drops through the conve 'or'BeL The endless conveyor 34 is forme" of a plurality of rods 45 which have 'portions thereof, b ent upwardly as at 46 to grasp the adjacentfrod; 45 to form :i sieving surface permitting the' 'foreifrn material to drop therethrough, where te suinen'i'ay be car; ried off by the return movement ot' the endless conveyor. u
Supported within the endless conveyor: is an ugitating member indicated at 47 -which is in the form ofl a hub 48 and radiatingarm' 49, the arm 4 9supporting the rollers 50 which contact with the under surface of the conveyor 34 to move the 'conveyor 34 upwardly to agitate the beets supported thereon, to dislodge dirt or other foreign matter therefrom, which as before stated falls between the rods 45 where the ,same collects on the apron lil from where 4the same is carried rearwardly and de os'ited in the hopper 33 which is disposed c iiectly under the roller 3S'. i
A hinged closure 51 is supported at the discharge end of the hopper 33, which closure may be operated to discharge the contents of the hopper 33. The discharge cud of the hopper 33 is disposed in a plane to permit a vehicle to pass thereunder, so that when the closure 5l is operated, the contents of the hopper may fall into the vehicle which is shown in dotted lines and indicated by the reference character 52.
The power transmitting mechanism also has connection with a drum 53, through the medium of the chain 54 and sprocket Wheel 60, suitable means n ot shown beingr provided to clutch the sprocket wheel to the drum to wind the Cable l2 thereon Lo accomplish the raising and lowering of n wagon but terr which is to be emptied r`[he clutch mechanism is controlled by means of the levers 55= which have connection with the clutch mechanisms, as through the operating rods 56.
In the operation of the apparatus, beets are dumped into thel hopper 16 from where they fall onto the endless conveyor 17, which is thrown into operation, and moves the beets upwardly where they are discharged onto the conve :or 34. The agitating means now` agitates t e conveyor eansin the dirt or other foreign matter to be dislodged from the beets, the "beets passn on towards the outer end of the conveyor g where they are discharged into a suitable conveying means.
It might beV further stated that due to the construction of the conveyor 34, the dirt or foreign mattei' falls therethrough' onto an apron 44 from where the saine is carriedinto' the hopper 33 and disc urged in any suitable conveyor. Y
Having'thus described the invention, what is claimed as new isz-l i A l. In a beet handling apparatus, anl in c lined conveyor frame, :in endless conveyor operating through the 4frame, :L hopper for discharging material onto the lower end 'of the endless conveyor,l an endless conveyor operating adjacent to the'upper end ofthe first n ientioncdA conveyor an adapted to receive material therefrom, means tor agitatng the second mentioned conveyor to dislodge I'orei' nniatter from the material-passing over tie last mentioned' conveyonfand a hopper for receiving the foreign matter.
