This invention is an improvementin apparatus intended especially for use in purifying cider, and has for an object to provide a simple and conveniently-manipulated construction by which the desired end may beeffectually served.
The invention consists, broadly, in a sievelike partition, paper pulp thereon, and a screen in advance of such partition, whereby to obviate the rush of fluid thereagainst.
It also consists in the combination of the tank or receiver, a plurality of partitions therein having internal chambers and individual discharges, and a screen inclosing said partitions. Y Y
It consists, further, in certain details of construction and combinations of parts, which will bedescribed and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section on line y y, Fig. 3,of my apparatus. Fig. 2 is a detached sectional view thereof on about line x x, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a top plan View of theapparatus with the cover removed. Fig.
. 4 is'a detail perspective view of a portion of one of the partitions; and Fig. 5 is a detached l sectionalview of a portionof the screen.
The tank or receiver A may be of any suitable size or shape. It is usually provided at two opposite points with keepers or loops a a for the ends of the clamp-bar. Within this tank I arrange the partitions B B. These partitions are made in double cylindrical form, having an internal chamber, b. I form these partitions B usually in the following manner:
, Similar end rings O,are connected by vertical bars D, and for stability a ring, d, may be employed midway between the rings C. Over the frame thus formed I stretch and secure canton-annel or other textile fabric, usually by stitching, as shown in Fig. 3. The two partitions shown are similarly constructed,and the description of one will answer for both. It will be noticed that the inner partition is made sufficienti y smaller than the outer one to permit the free circulation of the uid between them.
Each partition has an individual dischargetube, E, and a gas-outlet. tube, F. Faucets e are connected with the tubes E, and turn up against the bottom of the tank, thus serving to clamp the partitions tightly totheir places.
A cylindrical screen, G, encircles and eX- tends above the partitions B. This screen is formed of a covering of textile fabric of coarse flannel, cheese-cloth, or other large-meshed goods secured on a suitable frame-work, and A is preferably provided at its opposite ends with packing g. I secure this packing to the screen by employing a narrow strip of rubber and securing it after the fashion of a binding on the ends of a cylinder. On this cylinder G I rest the cover H, which has perforations h for the tubes F and glass-covered windows I, through vwhich the interior of the apparatus may be seen. This cover is ordinarily held tight on the screen G by a clamp consisting of a transverse bar, J, having its ends inserted in the loops a a, and provided with a series of perforations,j, a cam-lever, K, and a pin, L, whereby said cam-lever may be held at any desired point.
A block, M, is suspended on a cord, m, which passes over pulleys on the top of the tank. This block serves as an indicator of the quantity of fluid within the tank, being made of wood, so it will iioat thereon.
lI employ paper-pulp as the filtering material. This pulp I soak in water and break and grind it up into fine particles until it is thoroughly disintegrated. The screen and the cover or top are then removed from the tank, the
faucets e closed, and the mixture of paperpulp and water poured into the tank over and around the partitions. The faucets e are now opened, the top is placed down onto the partitions, and water is poured in a continuous stream onto the cover, passing thence into the tank. This produces a current out of the fau- IOO cets, which by suction serves to draw the paper-pulp N in thin layers close to and against the partitions, as shown in Fig. 4, completely incasing all sides of such partitions, as willbe understood. When the water has fiowed out of the tank and the pulp has been drawn into proper connection with the partitions, the cover is removed, the screen placed in the tank, and the cover clamped on said screen in themannermostclearlyshownin Fig. l. Cider is now poured onto the cover and passes thence into the tank and through the screen and the partitions. When the tank is full. the faucets are opened and the purilied cider drawn oif. The screen serves a double purpose. It serves to separate the coarse heavy pomace from the cider, and also to break the force or current of the intlowing cider, which would otherwise likely break the paper-pulp off the partitions. The inpouring of cider may be continued until the discharge becomes cloudy, when it is evident that the paper-pulp is becoming too deeplyilnpregnated with the pornace to give good results. The stop-cock or faucet may then be closed.
I prefer to employ two or more of the partitions and provide them with individual discharges, as thereby one can be cut off when it ceases to operate properly, and the other be continued in use until it also becomes inoperative.
Vhen the pulp has become too heavily iinpregnated, the partitions are removed from the tank, the pulp brushed or scraped from them and washed, when it can be reused.
Many modifications may be made in my invention without departing from its principles, though I prefer to employ the construction as shown and before described. The cover may be dispensed with if care be taken in pouring the fluid outside the screen.
Instead of making the partitions in the double cylindrical form, they might be made in square box form or otherwise, with an internal chamber; but theform shown is preferred, because of the greater sieve-surface thereby presented.
It will also be understood that, instead of the hollow partition, a partition of common screen form might be used provided with the paperpulp and interposed in the passage of the iiuid, a suitable current-breaking screen being arranged in advance thereof'.
It will also be understood that, instead of covering the partitions with textile fabric, they might be covered with wire-netting, foraminous sheet metal, or other sieve-like material; but the textile fabric before described is preferred, because it has a stronger hold on the paper-pulp and retains same better in the desired manner.
The end rims or frames ot' the screen G are preferably made of round wire and the rubber binding is not drawn tightly over said wires, but is left loose, as shown most clearly in Fig. 5, so that when compressed it will spread out laterally and furnish a broad bearing against the cover and against the bottom of the tank, so that no cider can get to the partitions except through the screens.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination ofthe tank or receiver, a sievelike partition, and paper-pulp on said partition, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination of the tank or receiver, a sieve-like partition, paper-pulp on said partition, and a screen in advance of such partition, whereby the rush of fluid thereagainst is obviated, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination of a tank or receiver, a cylindrical sieve-like partition, and a cylindrical screen encircling said partition, substantially as set forth.
4. The combination of the tank or receiver, the cylindrical sieve-like partition, a cylindrical screen encircling said partition and provided at its opposite ends with packing, and the cover held on the upper end of the screen, substantially as set forth.
5. The combination of a tank or receiver, sieve-like partitions made in double cylindrical form with an internal'annular chamber, a discharge-pipe connecting with said chamber, and a cylindrical screen encircling the partition, substantially as set forth.
6. The combination of the tank or receiver, the double cylindrical sieve-like partition having an annular internal chamber, a discharge-tube communicating with said charnber, a gas-outlet leading therefrom, and a cy- `lindrical screen encircling said partition, substantially as set forth.
7. The combination of a tank or receiver, a plurality of partitions arranged therein and having internal chambers and individual "discharges therefrom, and a screen inclosing said partitions, substantially as set forth.
8. The combination of a tank or receiver, a plurality of double cylindrical partitions arranged therein and provided with individual discharge-pipes, and a cylindrical screen encircling said partitions, substantially as set 9. In a purifier substantially as herein described, a cylindrical screen bound at its ends by rubber strips secured loosely, whereby they may spread laterally under pressure, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
EDWIN RIPLEY.
