MANuRE-PULVERIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 519,629, dated May s, 1894.

Application tiled October 9,1893. Serial No. 487.647. (No model.)

and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention is a new manure pulverzer; and consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts, hereinafter set out in this specification and the claim hereto annexed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of our invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan View, and Fig. 3. isa perspective view of the cleaner.

Our invention is described as follows:

A, represents a box or bin wider at the top than at the bottom, the bottom a, is stationary being secured to the end pieces ot', of the bin. Said bin is supported onvfeet a2. In the center of the pin is journaled a cylinder B, provided with arms b, (only one of which is lettered.) These arms b, are spirally secured on the said cylinder. The axle of said cylinder is provided with a crank handle b. In the sides (13,1%, of the bin A, are secured pins b2, in such position that the pins b, may pass between them when the cylinder is rotated. At the bottom of the wall c3, is lefta slot c, the entire length of the bin for the pulverized manure to fall through after it has been ground. On each end of the said wall a3, is secured a rabbet c', and in the groove of said rabbet works up and down a door c2. This door is adjustable by means of set screws c3,vso that the flow of the pulverized manure may be regulated. In the wall a4, and at its bottom is a slot or opening similar to the slot c2, the entire length of the bin. In this opening is secured a false wall c4, provided with cleaners d, which extend entirely across the bottom of said bin their ends terminating in hooks d. On each one of these cleaners d, is vertically secured a rod d2, in such'position thatthe pins b, of the cylinder B, will pass between them. Themanure is thrown into the bin in its rough state, and as the rods b, carry it around between the pins h2, and d2, it is broken and ground up and when it is sufficiently ground it passes out through the opening c.

When We wish to clean the bin we unscrew the thumb-screw e, andv draw back the false lWall c4, which brings with it the cleaners d,

and the pins d2, the hook ends d', scraping the bottom clean. The cleaners are then cleaned and returned tO their place.

Y With this machine we can take the roughest manure and in a short time pulverize it suflciently tine to be used for manuring ground for any garden truck. The process of grinding the manure thoroughly mixes it.

, Having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is Y The bin A, provided with a stationary bottom ct, and longitudinal slots at the bottom of each of its walls a3, 0,4; rabbet c', secured on each end of the wall as; door c2, adapted to work up and down in the grooves of said rabbets; false wall c4, provided with cleaners d, having the hooked ends d', and mounted with pins d2; pins b2, extending from the inner walls of the bin, and cylinder B, journaled in said bin and provided with pins b, substantially as shown and described and for the purposes set forth. Y t

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
