To all whom 'it may concern: f one end of the hopper than at the other end 55 Be it known Athat I, JOSEPH L. HILLER, a 0f the hopper, and, heretofore, this has led citizen of the United States, residing at Matto considerable diiculty in properly dividtapoisett, in the county of Plymouth and ing the materials into parts containing the of Massachusetts, have invented new correct proportion of the materials, but with and useful Im rovements in Proportioning my arrangement this diiiculty is obviated. 6G and Dividing oppers, of which the olloW- In the accompanying drawings,- ing is a specification.` F lgure l is a side elevationalview of a This invention/relates toh means for lprocoal crushing plant toV which my invention l portioni gj and dividing materials into a is applied.

The [disclosed as applied t0 a Goal-Crushlng plant materials to be proportioned and divided are comprising a plurality of crushing instlll- `delivered to the crushing machines 10 by Illentaliiies 0I machines, a dellVeIyChute fOr means Off), plurality 0f chutes leading from each of Said machines, and a Single hOppel a hopper l1. In the embodiment shown in `95 from which the chutes lead. 'In a plant of.

It is, of
material to be divided and crushed as being delivered to y,the opposite and longest sides of the hopper in the form of streams or blankets by means of belt conveyers 16, and while I have shown but two conveyers, it is to be understood that any number may be employed depending on thenumberof materials to be mixed and divided. In case more than two conveyers are used, the additional conveyers are located above, and will deliver between the streams delivered by the lower two conveyers. The proportions in which the coal is delivered are'usually determined by the thickness of the blankets of coal upon the conveyers, but, if desired, the speed of the conveyers may be regulated to control the amounts or proportions in which the different grades are delivered to the hopper.
In accordance with my invention, the hopper 11, which is preferably elongated and rectangularin shape, is divided into a plurality of compartments by means of transverse vertical division plates 17. The division plates 1T are, preferably, spaced equidistances apart and in parallelism with each other so that the compartments throughout the `.length of the hopper are of equal size. In the present instance, the hopper is divided into twelve compartments, but a larger or smaller number may be employed. It is preferable, however, to divide the hopper into as many compartments as practical, so that the width of the several compartments is small as compared to the width of the streams in which the materials are fed to the hopper.
In each of the alternate compartments of the hopper is an inclined diverting plate or bottom 18 which extends from near the top of one wall of the hopper to a point slightly past a central longitudinal line of the hopper. In the intervening compartments are divertingplates or bottoms.18 extending from near the top of the opposite wall of the hopper and in a direct-ion opposite to that of the divert-ing plates 18 to a point slightly past the central longitudinal line of the hop! per. Preferably the lower ends of the diverting plates 18 and 18 are attached to a supporting member 19 extending longitudinally and centrally through the hopper, -in the present case the member 19 being illustrated as comprising a channel iron. Vith this arrangement, it will be seen that one series of plates 18', mounted in alternate compartments of the hopper, delivers to one side thereof, and the other series of diverting plates 18, located in the intervening compartments. delivers to the other side of the hopper.
The chutes 12 and 13 are so arranged that the line on which the lower walls thereof join is located immediately beneath the longitudinal center of the hopper, that is, the
channel iron y19, so that those compartments in which the plates 18 are disposed will Anormally deliver to the chute 13 and the intervening compartments will normally deliver to rthe chute 12.
Inthe embodiment disclosed in Fig. 1, I have disclosed a gate 20, located beneath the compartments of the hopper 11, and composed of a single vane or diverting plate eX- tendin@r throughout the length of the hopper. 5Ihe gate 20 is fixed to a rotatable shaft 21 extendingV immediately above the line on which the bottom walls of the chutes 12 and 13 meet, and this shaft has at one end an operating handle or lever 22.
The operation of the arrangement above described, will be readily understood. Suppose, for example, that it is desired to divide the total amount of materials fed into the hopper into equal parts between the chutes 12 and 13, and that the onek kind or grade of material, fed'to one side of, the hopper by one of the conveyers,- constitutes one-third of the final product issuing from the hopper, and that the other kind or Ygrade of material fed to the other side of the hopper const-itutes the remaining two-thirds of the final product issuing from the hopper.
The gate 20 will be Vmoved into vertical position. The first kind of material delivered to the hopper, and which constitutes onethird of the total material issuing from the hopper, is divided into two equal parts, one of these parts being delivered-to the right, and the other to the left of the hopper. Of the material delivered by the other conveyer, and which constitutes two-thirds of the final product, one-half will pass to the right and one-half to the left.
It is to be remarked that by dividing the hopper into a relatively large number of composed of the correct and predetermined proportions of the two kinds of materials. The fact that the blankets or streams of coal delivered by the conveyers 16 may vary indepth crosswise of the hopper does not materially effect the proportioning of the parts of the materials foi-'the final parts of the materials issuing from the hopper are primarily made up of a relatively large num,- ber of portions whichy are taken from the conveyer at points spaced throughout the width of the hopper.
In some cases, it may be desirable to divert the total product issuing from the hopper to either of the chutes 12 or `13, and where such is the case, the gate 20 is swung to the right or left depending on which chute is to be shut olf. i
In Fig. 1, I have shown the chute 13 as having a vertical section 23 provided with compartments and diverting plates 18 and n 'n A 18n corresponding 1n construction and arrangement to like parts of the hopper 11.
Immediately beneath the hopper section 23 and at the confluence of the two branches 14 and l of the chute 13 is a gate 20 which may be employed to divert all of the mai diverting plates 24, there' Ary asto keep separated the e and (byswing-ingfall of the gate terial and 4, the function/of the h assing through the chute 13 to either branches 14 or l5. Whemthe gate 20 is invertical position, as shown, the material .is equally ndivided 'between these branches. f
In the embodiment disclosed in Figs.. 3 and 4, the construction ,of the hopper, 11 is similar to that -illustrated in F igsul and 2 in that it is provided with transverse dividing ing plates or bottoms f8 and 18". In this. embodiment, I./however, the gate' which is located beneath thecom artments of the hopper, consists of a plura ity of sections or being preferably more compartments in the hopper) than there are sections of the -gate so that one diverting plate of the gate may control the disposition of materials issuing from two or more compartments of the hopper. In the present instance, I have shown each of the sections 24 ofv the gatesas being located beneath two compartments, but, of course, three or more compartments .may deliver to` the same' gate section.`
Preferably, the spaces in which the several gate sections move are separated from each other by depending partitions 50 which may be formed ^by extending certain of the transverse plates 17 downwardly beneath the position of the supporting member 19.
suitable means for mounting the gate sections for rotation may beadopted, but by wayof illustration, I have disclosed each of' the ygate sections as being secured'tofa sleeve 251'. The several sleeves are of different lengthsJ and telescope each otherfand eachy has at its outer end an operating lever handle 26. `In the present case, I have shown allot the operating handles 26 as being. located toone side. of the chutes, but, if desired, half of the handles or levers may be mountedon one of the side and the other half, on the other Iside,
so as to reduce the number of different sizes of sleeves employed'.
With fthe construction,'showin` in Figs. 3 pper 1s to divide theA materials fed therein o into two equal parts and to insure thateach of these parts is composed of the correct amounts orL proportions of the materials fed per. The plates 24 of ther ate structure may be maintained in vertifal position 1so qual parts issuinlg` :from the hopper. vBy swinging Vall of the gatesections 24'to the left,.the total ma-` terial will be delivered". toA the chulte 12 plates 17 and oppositely disposed divertindependently sections to sthe right all of the livered to the chute 13.
It is sometimes desirable to divert a greater portion of the materials fed to Fthe hopper to one'of the chutes than to the other chute. Suppose that it is desired to divert two-thirds of the total material handled to the left, and one-third to the right as would ,be the case with the arrangement of chutes shown in Fig. Lwhen all three crushing machines are operating ati equal capacities. Four of the gate sections or plates would be swungv to the right andthe other two to the left where siX sections are used. It will be seen that, with the structure shown in Figs. 3 'and the hoppenmay `be divided into -material may .beL det 4, the materials issuing from' two parts of any desired unequal proportions.- I-Iow- "i ever, all ofthe parts are composed of the correct predetermined percentages of the materials delivered to the hopper.
Itis, of course, obvious that the sectional.
divided longitudinally into two passages by` means of a partition 27. One of the passages delivers directly to the branch chute 15 and the other to the branch chute 14. The hopper 11 is similar in construction to that illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4. In this 'embodiment I have lllustrated two gate structures similar to that disclosed in Figs. 3 and 4 as being disposedbeneath the hopper 11, one gate 24 being upper end of the partition 27 for controlling the discharge of the material from the hoper to either of the passages of the chute 13':
J he second gate 24 is located onia line above that onwhich the bottoms of the chutes 12 `and 13 unite. By adjusting the diverting plates of the gate 24 and 24', the material issuing from the chutes may be .diverted 1n the desired proportionso the various crushing machines. A
-In the embodiment `illustrated in- Figs. 7 yand 8", a gate structure similar to that shown in Figs. 3aand 4, is disclosed,but, in this e embodiment the hopper l1 into which the conveyers 16 are adapted to discharge, is
divided,into compartments and is provided with inclinedbottoms in the form of adjustable gates. `In the present instance, I have shown the g'te structure as having twelve varies or diverting plates 24, each section of the 'gate being'operated by the handles 26.
The spaces in which the ate are separated from each other by means of the division plates 50. When the hopper is not rcvided with the diverting bottoms 18, and)18, itis preferable to increase the P I A i located at the gate sections oper- I blanket, and meansfor positively separating number of diverting plates or sections of the gate, and, in the present instance, I have shown the gate as comprising twelve secions, although it, is to be understood that he number of sections may be increased or decreased as desired.
In the emplo ment of the embodiment shown in Figs. il to divide the material into two equal parts, the alternate gate sections should be so arranged as to deliver to one side and the intervening sections to the other side, and in this position they correspond in arrangement to the diverting bottoms 18 and 18 offthe preceding embodiments. l The gates can also be so arranged that the materials delivered to' the hopper would be divided into parts of unequal proportions. By suitably arranging the gates two-thirds of the material may be diverted into the chute 13 and the remaining one-third of the total material fed to the hopper is diverted to the chute 12. It is not always practical to divide the gate into as many divisions or sections as may be desired, lwhen a hopper having the stationary bottoms shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is not employed, and I have, therefore, sometimes found it preferable to employ my gate structure in combinaton with my 1mprovedhopper as it is practical to divide the hopper with oppositely disposed stationary diverting plates.
