Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“This is a conical mill but differs in several points from such as have been heretofore patented. The conical part, which is the runner, is placed horizontally, being perforated its whole length, to receive an iron axis. The apex of the cone is removed, for three or four inches in length, and its place supplied by a grooved piece of cast-iron. The bed and cap stones lie flat upon each other, being properly confined in their places by iron pins. Each of these is excavated in such a form as to receive one-half of the conical runner. The grain is supplied from a hopper through a perforation extending from the apex of the cone through the cap stone. The inner gudgeon of the axis of the runner passes between the stationary stones at the apex of the cone. Its feed is regulated by a screw at the opposite end, and it may be driven by a whorl and drum, or by gearing in any other way.
It appears to be a simple and economical mill, and we should apprehend that it is very superior to several which have been introduced for domestic purposes.”
