EBEN E. FULLER, OF BIG LAKE, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO GEORGE HOUGHTON, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
BALING-PRESS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,93*?, dated November 20, 1883.
Application filed September 7. 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EBEN E. FULLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Big Lake, in the county of Sherburne and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Baling-Presses; andI do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suoli as will enable others skilled iu the art to which it appertainsto make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and iigures of reference marked th ereon,which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to certain improvements in Daling-presses for hay, straw, and other material, and has for its object the provision of a simple, durable, and compact press, the several parts and elements of which are so constructed and disposed with relation to eachother as to lighten the machine and increase the strength, while at the same time the parts attached to and operating the plun ger are controlled and operated by mechanism adapted to give the greatest possible amount of pressure to the plunger with less motive power` than has heretofore been enr ployed to accomplish this purpose.
My invention has, further, for its object the provision of means whereby the bale-binding material shall be passed about the bale when the latter is within the bale-chamber, the ends of said binding material being afterward brought within reach of the operator and secured together, thus avoiding the use of a follower, and enabling each finished lbale to operate as a press-head against which the next succeeding bale is formed, and the ejeetment from the bale-chamberof a compact and securely-bound bale, finished and ready for the market or storage.
The invention further contemplates the ae complishment of the 'various objects above set forth in such a manner that a nished bale of straw, hay, or other material shall not be cut or otherwise injured by the successive steps through which it passes to attain its iinished form.
To the accomplishment of the objects above set forth my invention consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of the various parts or elements, substantially as hereinafter described and claimed.
Referring to the drawings, in which similar letters of reference denote like parts, Figure l represents a side view of my improvedbalingpress, Fig. 2 represents a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 represents a front view ofthe chain-posts detached from the press. Fig. 4 is a side view of the anchor-timbers of the toggle-jointed timbers by which the plunger is operated. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the toggletimbers, showing the means by which the toggle-j ointed timbers are operated. Figs. 6 to 9, inclusive, represent views of portions ofthe bail-chamber ofthe press,and show the manner of introducing and retaining the hay, straw, or other material therein. Figs. 10 to 12, inclusive, represent views showing the means employed to passthe bale-tie about the bale when the latter is within the balechamber. Fig. 18 Vrepresents the hook employed to pass the tie around the bale. Fig. 14 represents a modified form of the hook shown in Fig. 13.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the baleehamber, having open ends, sides c c, bottom a', and top c2. The sides a e thereof are provided with tying-slots c3, and its top, nearthe forward end thereof, with hopper A',
in which the material to be pressed is placed,`l
and from which it passes into the bale-chamber through an opening, A2, in the top a2 thereof and in front of a plunger, A3, for the purpose of pressing such material.
- So far as described my invention is similar to those in use and known to the art under the name of continuous presses.7
I .will now proceed to describe the particu lar parts and construction to which my i1nprovenient relates. u
The main sills B B of the press are extended forward to a considerable distance beyond the bale-chamber, as shown, and are provided at such extended portion, and the outside there of, with timbers B B2 that are parallel with the sills B, and are connected thereto by blocks B2 and bolts Z), as shown.
C represents posts extending upwardly fron each of the main sills B and the timbers B', (see Fig. 3,) said posts C being iirmly secured IOC) at their upper ends to across-timber, G, which extends from side to side of the press, straining-rods C2 being attached by eyebolts c to the sills B, and thence pass over the top of the timber C, and thus serve to further strengthen and support the uprights C. The rods C2 are each provided with swivels c, having female screws in their ends, into which male screws upon rods take, and by which any desired degree of tension may be given to the rods.
D D represent timbers pivoted together at d, and form, when pivoted to a proper support and plunger, the means by which said plunger is operated. timber D is pivoted by means of a bolt, e, between anchor-timbers E, which are secured to cross-timbers E, extending from one to the other of the sills B.
represents additional braces or strainingrods, which extend from the posts C around the bolt e, at each side of the timber D, and to one of the cross-timbers E, each end of the rod e being provided with a nut and screw, as shown. vThe rear end of the timber D is provided upon its lower edge with an offset, d', the lower surface of which is cut away, so that when the plate d2 is secured thereon a slot, cl3, is formed, for the purpose hereinafter to be described. The timbers D are pivoted near the vrear ends thereof at c", to the plunger A, and are provided near their forward ends with a pivotal bolt, d", to which are pivoted the ends of the levers which operate the folder F, one of said levers, F', being in angular form, as shown, and pivoted at f between posts F2, the end of the lever F that connects with the timber D being provided with a slot, f, in which the pivotal bolt d" slides when the press is operated, as shown `in Fig. 1. rEhe lever F is connected to the folder at about the middle of the latter.
FJ represents a link or connecting-rod connected at one end to the top of the folder and at the other'end to the pivotal pin dt, its purpose being to limit the sway of the folder, as shown in Fig. l. The posts F2, between which the lever F is pivoted, form the rear parts of the bale-chamber, andare extended upwardly to providea bearing for said lever.
G represents the main driving-shaft, journaled in suitable boxes, g, upon the sills B. rlhe shaft G extends across the press, and is provided upon one end with a driving-pulley, G, and upon the other end with` a balance-wheel, G". G3 represents gearedpinions mounted upon the shaft G between the sills B and timbers B', and engage with and rotate. geared spur-wheels Gt, mounted upon short shafts G5, journaled in boxes g upon the sills B B', the inner end of each of the shafts G being provided with sprocket-wheels H, which are connected by sprocket-chains H withsimilar sprocketwheels, H2, mounted upon short shafts h, journaled in suitable boxes inthe for- `ward edges of the timbers or uprights C.
The forward end of this h represents a bar or rod which passes from one to the other of the chains H through the slot d3 of the timber D. Asleeve, h2, is placed upon the rod, as shown in Fig. 5.
From the above-described construction it will be seen that when the driving-shaft is rotated it will, `through the spur-wheels G3 G* and sprocket-wheels H H2, cause the chain H to pass around said sprocket-wheels, and said chain will, through the rodh, cause the lever Dfto rise and fall, thus moving the plunger back and forth in the bale-chamber, and at the same time operate the folder F, as hereinbefore described. i
I represents a retainer pivoted ati near the rear side of the aperture in thetop of thebalechamber, the operation thereof being clearly shown in Figs. 6 to 9, inclusive.
Y A spring, i', serves to throw the rear edge of the retainer down, as shown in Fig. 6, in which figure the material to be pressed is represented as about to enter the bale-chamber. Fig. 7 shows the 1 folder F as pressing said material downward l into the bale-chamber. ger in the act of pressing such material into the bale-chamber past the retainer I, which is Fig. 8 shows the plunat this time closed up; and Fig. .9.shows the plunger withdrawn from the pressed material, which is held in position by the retainer.
As a rule, baling-presses, and more particularly those of the class known as continuous l presses,7 7 have been and are provided with followers*t'. e., removable partitions-which are placed between the bales within thebale-chamber, and such followers have been provided with grooves to permit the passage of the tie,
such ties being separate from the press or not attached thereto.
My invention contemplates, first, the pro-,
vision of means whereby the tie is attached to the press and made to operate in lieu of the follower above referred to; and, secondly, the provision of means whereby said tie may be passed around the bale and its ends brought within easy reach of the operator while the bale is within the chamber. I accomplish this `purpose in the following manner, to wit:
K represents spools mounted in suitable supports, K', at one side of the bale-chamber, near the feed-opening thereof, the ends of the binding material therein being passed across the press and made fast to pins k upon the opposite side of the press and within easy reach of the operator, as shown in Fig. 10. The first bale is now formed against such binding material, Ipressing it into the position shown IOO IIO
in Fig. 11. When enoughk material has been pressed to form a bale of the proper size, a rod', L, provided at its end with a hook, is inserted through the tying-slots from the sideopposite to that containing the spools, and catches the binding wire or cord, which is drawn through the press and cut at the loop, as shown in Fig. 12. rIhe binding material is passed around each succeeding bale in the mannerabove described, each bale acting as a press-head against which the succeeding bale is formed, thus dispensing with the use of followers or partition-boards. The rod L normally rests in supports H, attached to the side of the press, and such supports operate as guides when the rod is to be passed through the press. If desired, two or more rods may be connected to a handle common to all, and may thus be operated at one and the same time. This construction is shown in Fig. 14.
The operation of the press will be understood without further description.
l do not coniine myself to the exact forni and 4 construction of parts shown in the drawings and herein particularly described, but hold myself at liberty to make such changes in details of construction as fairly fall within the scope of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what claim. is-
1. A baling-press for hay, straw) and other material, constructed as described, having the bale-chamber A, operated by toggle-timbers D D', rod k', sprocket chain H', connecting the sprocket wheels H H2, and means for driving the same, whereby the plunger A is caused to move back and forth within the balechamber, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a baling-press for hay, straw, and other material, the bale-chamber having sills B, which project forwardly beyond the end of said bale-chamber, and are provided with anchorti1nbers D, in combination with the toggle-timbers D D', operated by means substantially such as described, folder F, and levers 3 5 F' F3, as and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a baling-press for hay, straw, and other material, the bale-chamber A, having sills B, which project forwardly beyond the end of said bale-chamber, and are provided with supplemental sills B', anchor-timbers E, and uprights C, in combination with the toggle-jointed timbers D D', operated by means substantially such as described, levers F' F, and folder F, as and for the purpose set forth.
4. In a balingpress for hay, straw, and other material, the bale-chamber A, having sills B B', anchor-timbers E, and uprights (l, in combination with the toggle-timbers D D', operated by the sprocket-chain H', bar or rod 5o h', connecting the sprocket-wheels H H2, and spur-wheels Gr3 G", substantially as described.
5. The combination, in a baling-press for hay,`straw, and other material, of the balechamber A, having sides a, provided with tying-slots a3, and supports M, adapted for guiding the hooks Ltofacilitate the drawing of the binding material around the bale when the latter is in the bale-chamber.
