MITCHELL & KESSINGER'S IMPROVED FLOUR BOLT. In this improved flour bolt a soft cotton cord A or a cord of other suitable flexible material is extended lengthwise over the reel and fastened to coiled springs B. On each end of the reel or around the middle of the reel are placed ratchet bands C over which the cord passes and straps down upon each section of the reel one or more times as it re volves Auxiliary cords D are attached to the eyes of the springs B and are also attached to the principal cord A in side of the end ratchet bars as f3hown. This simple device can be attached to any reel at trifling cost and it is claimed it secures important advantages viz. : rolling flour and adds much to the capacity in bolting when the wheat is damp. It prevents beards and oat husks from sticking intO. the cloth to its injury and preserves it from the ravages of moths. It is well known that the cleaner the cloth is kept the less liable it is to be injured. The inven tion enables the miller to make the turn-out without diffi culty which it is claimed makesa large annual saving and thus to satisfy his customers better. The invention has been in use since December 1868 and we have been shown letters from those using it expressing in highest terms their satisfaction with the operation of the device. When grinding in damp weather and when damp and musty wheat are ground or when grinding new wheat before it has thoroughly dried the work will it is claimed be done with greater ease and profit to the miller. The principle of the operation of the device is that of whipping the cloth as with a bunch of broom straw. It does not jar the reel but simply the cloth of each section as it re volves. The ratchet bands serve to strengthen the reel be sides performing the office above described. The invention was patented May 1869 by Rufus S. Mitchell and Geo. Z. Kessinger.
