| Description: |  | Abstract:
My invention relates to mills for grinding or crushing sugar-cane, sorghum, and other similar substances; and the object of my improvement is, first, to provide such a construction and combination of the parts as will enable me to place the two crushing-rolls one directly 2 above the other, and to drive each one of them directly from a vertical driving-shaft; second, to combine with the grinding or crushing rolls a discharge-roll so arranged with reference to the grinding or crushing rolls that it shall give an upward movement to the bagasse, as a consequence of which the juice is separated therefrom and allowed to flow downward into a reservoir provided for its reception; third, to provide a novel form of roller or drum for aiding in passing the stalks to the rolls where they are crushed; and, fourth, to provide certain combinations and arrangements of the other parts of which the machine is composed.
Claim:
In a mill or machine for grinding or crushing sugar-cane, sorghum, and other similar substances, the combination of the beveled too driving-wheels G, G3, placed o a vertical shaft, the beveled wheels G4 and C-', and the grinding or crushing rolls C' and C2, placed one above the other and driven by separate gears. |  |
