Abstract
Abstract A plurality of parallel sieve bars are transversely spaced apart in a plane to form a sieve. Each sieve bar has a side face enclosing an angle with the plane and diverging therefrom in the same direction so that the side faces constitute a stepped surface on said one side of said sieve. In sieving apparatus, such a sieve is arranged with said sieve bars spaced apart in an inclined plane and all side faces are disposed on the upwardly facing side of the sieve so that the angles of inclination of the side faces decrease progressively in groups of bars or from bar to bar.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A sieve having an upper feed end and a lower discharge end for separating solids from a suspension, comprising a plurality of parallel sieve bars transversely spaced apart in a plane having a constant angle of inclination, each sieve bar having an upwardly facing side face enclosing an angle with the plane, all side faces being disposed on the same side of the sieve and diverging from the plane in the same direction whereby they constitute a stepped sieve surface on said upwardly facing side of the sieve, and the angles enclosed by the side faces with the plane increasing progressively in the direction of divergence of the side faces from said feed end to said discharge end.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A sieve having an upper feed end and a lower discharge end for separating solids from a suspension, comprising a plurality of parallel sieve bars transversely spaced apart in a plane having a constant angle of inclination, each sieve bar having an upwardly facing side face enclosing an angle with the plane, all side faces being disposed on the same side of the sieve and diverging from the plane in the same direction whereby they constitute a stepped sieve surface on said upwardly facing side of the sieve, and the angles enclosed by the side faces with the plane increasing progressively in the direction of divergence of the side faces from said feed end to said discharge end.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
A sieve as set forth in claim 1, in which there are successive groups of sieve bars, each group having upwardly facing side faces, said side faces of each group having the same divergence from said plane, the angles between the side faces and said plane of each successive group from said feed end to said discharge end increasing in the direction of said side face divergence from said plane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
128 words
A sieving apparatus having an upper feed end and a lower dischange end for separating solids from a suspension, comprising a sieve disposed in one inclined plane and having a plurality of parallel sieve bars transversely spaced apart in said plane, each sieve bar having a side face enclosing an angle with the sieve plane, all side faces being disposed on an upwardly facing side of the sieve and diverging from the plane in the same direction whereby the side faces constitute a stepped sieve surface on the upwardly facing side of the sieve, and the angles enclosed by the side faces of the sieve bars with the inclined plane of the sieve, decreasing downwardly in the direction of divergence from said upper end to said lower end.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
128 words
A sieving apparatus having an upper feed end and a lower dischange end for separating solids from a suspension, comprising a sieve disposed in one inclined plane and having a plurality of parallel sieve bars transversely spaced apart in said plane, each sieve bar having a side face enclosing an angle with the sieve plane, all side faces being disposed on an upwardly facing side of the sieve and diverging from the plane in the same direction whereby the side faces constitute a stepped sieve surface on the upwardly facing side of the sieve, and the angles enclosed by the side faces of the sieve bars with the inclined plane of the sieve, decreasing downwardly in the direction of divergence from said upper end to said lower end.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
The sieving apparatus of claim 3, in which there are successive groups of sieve bars, each group having the same angles enclosed by said side faces, the angles enclosed by said side faces of each successive group from said feed end to said discharge end decreasing downwardly in the direction of divergence.
