Application filedifiiiy 23:, me semi-rive: name;
To all whom it may: camera;
B e it lmown that I, DAVID Emma, a citizen of the United States, residing at .Ganado, in the county of Jackson and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Bag Filler, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a bag filler.
One object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of the character described whereby bags, particularly paper bags, may be filled with articles of produce such as potatoes, vegetables and the like, in dispensing the same to customers, and without injury tothe bag being filled.
The device is particularly designed for use in grocery stores and similar places, but is capable of a more general use.
\Viththe above and other objects in view, the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, operation and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein V i Figure 1 is a side view of the device;
Figure 2 is a vertical sectionalview. Figure?) is a fragmentary plan view; and, Figure 4 is a fragmentaryfrontelevation.
feferring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein, like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures, the numeral 1 designates a hopper like container which is supported on the legs 2, 2. The hopper has a forwardly declining discharge chute 3, and there is a vertically movable down spout 4 which moves in a vertical bearing through the outer end of the chute 3. Passing to the hopper above the chute 3 there is a bracket 5 formed with a bearing in which the short shaft 6 is rotatably mounted. To one end of this shaft a crank 7 is secured, and to the other end is fastened an arm 8. One end of link 9 is pivoted to the. free end of this arm, and the other end of this link is pivoted to the upper end of the down spout 4 andis provided with a stud, which runsin the vertical slot 10 of the guide 11, said guide being secured at its lower end to one side of the chute 3. This arrangement causes the down spout to move in a vertical line. Underneath the downspout 4 there is a platform 12 provided to support the sack '13to be filled. This platform 12 is fastened to the outer ends of 141 between; the
adjacent; legsZiri the; front QfLthemachine, andsia-re' pivoted .toythe:,,reanalegsg, as; shown in Figures 1 and 2. There is a hand lever 15 pivoted at its lower end to one of the bars 14, and extending up through the bracket 16 fastened on the side of the chute 8; and there is a pull spring 17 attached at itsv respective ends to the lever 15, and to one of the legs 2 above so that the tension of this spring normally holds the platform 12 elevated. i
When it is desired to fill a sack a crank 7 is swung around into vertical position until it abuts against the stop 18, and the down spout 4 is thereby held in elevated position. The bag 13 is then placed on the platform 12, and the crank 7 pulled forwardly into -the position shown in Figure 1 thus lowering the down spout at. The top part of the rear I wall of the down spout 4 is cut away as at 19, leaving an opening through which the articles being measured may pass from the hopper 1 into the down spout and thence into the sack.
When the sack'is filled, the crank 7 is again swung around into elevated position so as to elevate the down spouta. This will cut off the further discharge of articles from the hopper 1 and will also partly withdraw the down spout from the sack. The plat-form 12' may then be depressed and held in lowered position by engaging the shoulder 19 of the lever 15 under one end of the bearing 16. This will carry the upper end of the sack clear of the'down spout and it may be readily removed.
Each hopper may be equipped with a single discharge chute and down spout, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and with more than one as indicated in Figure 3.
What I claim is n 1. A device of the character described including a hopperformed with a discharge chute, a vertically movable down spout associated with said chute, and formed with an inlet adapted to be brought into and out of registration with said chute, means for elevating and lowering said down spout relative to the chute, a movable sack receiving platform underneath the down spout.
2. A device of the character described including a hopper formed with a discharge into and out of registration with said chute, a manual device for elevating and lowering said down spout, a hinged platform spaced underneath said down spout, a yieldable member adapted to hold said platform in elevated position, and means provided to lock the platform in depressed or lowered position.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
DAVID HUBLER.
