SPECIFICATION-forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,107, dated May 6, 1890.
Serial No. 215,480- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, OCTAVIO PIMIENTA, of the city of Cardenas, in the Island of Cuba, have invented certain new `and useful Improvements in Sugar-Packinglvlachines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l shows a perspective view of my machine or apparatus ready for use; Fig. 2,a detail perspective view showing the receiving and holding box or casing raised and partly filled; Fig. 3, a vertical sectional view on line a: of Fig. 2; Fig. 4, a'detail bottom perspective view of the sliding supporting-plate; Fig. 5, a detail perspective view showin g the cubereceiving or mold-plate with the cubes as delivered thereto; Fig. 6, a similar view showing the method of closing up or compacting the layer of cubes on the plate, and Fig. 7 a similar view of the tool or device used for so compacting the layer.
In the drawings like letters designate like parts in all the figures. y
The obj ect of my invention is to provide an improved method of and apparatus forpacking cubes or blocks of sugar; and to this end my invention consists in the method and in the apparatus, and the constructiomarrangement, and combination of parts, as hereinafter specified.
Where the cubes or blocks of refined sugar are poured or turned into barrels or boxes, they cannot be packed tightly therein. They will be or become loose in the package, and, being shaken or j arred in transportation, will be much injured by grinding or rubbing against each. other. By this grinding or rubbing not only is the shape of the cubes destroyed, but a considerable amount of the sugar is broken up and made into dust or powder, which is to a considerable degree a waste.
By my method and machine or apparatus, as hereinafter specied and shown in the drawings, the blocks or cubes can be packed rapidly, accurately, and closely in one large solid mass, so that they cannot shakearound and rub against or grind each other, as when packed in barrels or cases, as the packing has been done heretofore.
In the drawings,A designates the main table of my machine, having au extension A at each side of its front end, so that the whole table is T-shaped in plan view. I have shown this table as supported by a number of legs a a; but do not limit myself to such construction.
The outer and rear sides of the arms or extensions A A of the table, which are rectangular in form, are provided with the raised rims a d', preferably of )a height equal to or about the height. or thickness of the cubes or blocks of sugar. The raised rim oneach of the table-extensions extends around and parallel to the outer and rear sides of the extension, thus forming two contiguous sides of a square.
In the main portion of the table is a square openin g B, and fitting and sliding up through such opening is the box C, having its sides at least preferably made of sheet metal. Two contiguous sides C C of this box are, as shown, extended up above the plane of the tops of the other sides a distance equal to or about the height of the blocks of sugar to be packed. The sides so raised above the others are the rear and right-hand sides, but, if desired, or found convenient, can be the rear and left sides instead.
Within the opening B in the table is a small table D, corresponding in shape with but smaller than the opening, so as to leave sufficient space around it between its sides and those ot' the opening for the passage of the sides of the box C, already described. This small table D is supported or held in place by the four legs cl d, extending down within the box C and through its bottom C2. Said bottom is at its four corners provided with the openings c, allowing the passage of and fitting the table-legs CZ d, so as to guide the box C steadily in its up and down movements.
To raise and lower the box C, I have fixed to its bottom the nut E, up through which extends the vertical screw F, journaled at its lower end in a suitable support or step F. Rigidly connected with this screw is the bevel-gear G, meshing with and driven by the bevel-gear Gr on the shaft G2, journaled in suitable bearings, as shown. Upon the forward end of this shaft is another bevel-gear IOO - ing.
G3, meshing with and driven by the corresponding gear G4 on the vertical shaft G5, which at its upper end is provided with the crank-wheel G6, as shown, by which the shaft can be turned in either direction, as desired, to cause the screw F to raise or lower box C.
The small table D is provided with two parallel rearwardly-extending grooves d CZ, within which are journaled rollers cl2 cl2. In the main table there are similar grooves, forming rearward extensions of those in table D, and similarly provided with rollers.
A plate H, of the same size as table D and provided on its under side with the ribs or cleats h h toiit in the grooves CZ CZ and rest on the rollers cl2 cl2, is placed on the table to receive and support the mass of sugar inclosed by box C during the process of pack- Vhen this box has been lowered below the table, this plate can be slid rearward off the table D onto the main table, carrying any load of sugar that may be upon it.
In the main table between the rollered grooves is a depression or opening I, for a purpose to be described hereinafter.
In Figs. 6 and 7 I have shown the means will fit within and can be inclosed by the sides of box C when it has been transferre to thel table D.
The device which engages and presses the two contiguous sides of the layer of cubes is formed of two bars or sticks of wood L and L, connected together by means of a portion Zof the bar L passing through a slot Z in bar L.
In using my apparatus or machine in accordance with my process or method the carrier-plate K, which I term the mold-plate, having the cubes or blocks of refined sugar situated thereon, as shown in Fig. 5, just as they are delivered to it by the machine which forms the cubes, is placed upon the extension A of the machine-table, as indicated in Fig.
6. Two of the sides of the layer of cubes onthe plate will then be engaged by the two raised rims a a on the table at right angles to each other. The connected bars L L are then held at right angles to each other and parallel to the two rims a a', respectively, and are forced against the sides of the layer of blocks opposite to those engaged by the rims a a. The blocks will thus be moved up together, as shown in Fig. 6, into a compact rectangular layer. The plate carrying this compacted layer and the two bars L L is then transferred to the sliding plate H. resting on table D. The box Chas previously been adjusted by the screw, so that its two 1 lower sides are flush with the table and its shown in Fig. .1.

caused to raise the box9 C- up, so that its two lower sides are flush with the layer of sugar on plate H, and its higher sides stand above the-same. Another layer of blocks on a moldplate is then compacted, as before, and transferred to the top of the layer already in box C, just as the first layer was deposited on the plate H. The box C is then raised again to iuclose this new layer also, and so the operation goes on until a sufficient number of layers has been compacted and inclosed by box Ctomake a mass large enough to iill the box or case in which the sugar is to be packed. Such packing box or case is then inverted and placed down over the box @,with its inclosed The screw F is then turned to carry the forming and holding box C down below the table A. The car or sliding plate H is thenv slid rearward on the main table until The hand can then be placed under the plate H, and the box inclosing the sugar can be inverted, the plate being held in place thereon, so as to prevent the sugar falling out. The plate being then removed, the cover of the box can be nailed on. which I employ for compacting the layer of blocks or cubes on plate K, so that said layerv If desired, the forming and holding box or casing C can be lowered before the packingbox is placed over the mass of blocks on plate `H, instead of placing the packing-box over the sugar and the box C together. The walls of b'ox C are, however, being made of sheet metal, so thin as to take up very little space fbetween the sides of the mass of sugar blocks land of the packing-box if box Ov should not be lowered before putting the packing-box down in place.
Obviously my machine or apparatus can be used for packing blocks or pieces of other materials besides sugar where it is desired to .have said blocks or pieces closely packed in layers.
' l/Vithout departure from my invention my machine can easily be adapted for packing bodies of other forms than cubical and for packing them in other than cubical or rect- If, for instance, it should be desired to pack round or spherical bodies in layers in square or other boxes, it can obviously be done easilyand accurately by means of my machine, layer after layer being successively put in place within the receiving and holding casing C, and transferred therefromwithout disturbance by placing the packing-box over casing C, withdrawing the latter, and then inverting, as described hereinbefore. If desired, the rim a a" at the left side of the table can of course be used, and the left-hand side of box or casing C can be raised instead of the right-hand one, as shown in the drawings. The. bars L and L are preferably made rectangular in shape with straight parallel sides, and the ends of the slot Z are likewise made straight and parallel and at right angles to the sides of bar L. At the ends of the reduced portion Z of bar L IOO IIO
there are shoulders which are at right angles to the sides of the bar.Y With this construction the bars L and L can obviously be easily maintained exactly at right angles to each other While employed to compact the layer, as described. 1
Having thus described my invention, what I claim isy l. In a machine for packing bodies in layers, the combination, with the plate for receiving the bodies, of a stationary rim adapted to engage contiguous sides of the plate and the l( yer of bodies thereon, and a movable device adapted to engage the layer of bodies on the plate on the sides not engaged by the said rim, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
