1899 patent
For a new and useful improvement in ore samplers. Assigned to Charles Snyder, David Cheeseman, and John Moore. "What we claim as new is (1) In an ore-sampler, the combination with a shaft rotating on an upright axis, a series of buckets carried thereby and having open mouths at their upper ends, and a hopper into which they deliver; of a chute delivering a stream of material substantially parallel with the shaft, its delivery end standing above the path of the bucket-mouths and being curved to conform with their movement, and a series of irregularly-arranged bolts across the chute, as and for the purpose set forth and (2) In an ore-sampler, the combination with an upright chute having converging side walls, its delivery end being curved in a horizontal line; of an upright rotary shaft standing concentric with the curvature of the end of the chute, a spider on the shaft, a series of buckets carried thereby and each having a substantially U-shaped cutting edge at its upper end which latter stands below the delivery end of the chute, the length of such delivery end being such that as one bucket passes from beneath it another enters a the other side thereof, and a hopper for receiving the samples taken by the buckets, as and for the purpose set forth."
