IMPROVEMENT IN LIFTING AND PRESSING SCREWS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,342, dated September 25, 1866.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD H. GRAY, of Greenville, in the county ofl Butler, and in the State of Alabama, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Construction and Operation of' Lifting and Pressing Screws for Pressing or Lifting Cotton or other Substances; and I do .hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of' this speciiication.
In the drawings, Figure l shows my improvement applied to use as a cotton-press. Fig. 2 is a vertical section, showing the construction and operation of my invention. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the same. Fig. 4 is a section through C D.
The nature of` my invention consists in the mode ot' constructing and applying an antit'riction revolvin g nut to a screw intended to press or lift.
My invention is more particularly adapted to the construction of a cheap and strong castiron screw-power press for hay and cotton.
In the drawings, A represents the general frame-work of the press, and is made of heavy timber suitably put together.
B is the screw, which, in a cotton-press, should be made aboutsix inches in diameter, and be cast, as desired, with a follower-block, b, at the foot, the said block being about ten by twelve inches, andtwo inches thick. The main follower-block C, made of heavy timber and the size of' a bale of' cotton, is bolted to the iron block b.
D is the hollow revolving nut, made ofl castirou of sutlicient size and strength to receive .the sorewpB, and is about twentyinches deep,
so as to act as a strong and steady guide to the screw. The upper part of' the nut is cast square, about fourteen by eighteen inches, having iianges c c, between which the operatinglever L is fastened.
At the lower end of the hollow nut is cast a flange, E, so as to form the circular cup G, which should have a bottom of about an inch in thickness. In this cup are arranged a number of friction-balls, just touching each, and about sixteen in number.
'H is the cast collar in which the nut D revolves. This collar is cast in two vertical sections, so as to fit snugly to the nut, and is hexagonal on the outside, so that it cannot turn in its framing of heavy timbers. At the upper end of' the collar is a dange, c, to correspond to iange d of the nut. Ou the lower end of the collar is a broad flange, f, about twelve inches lower `than the flange c. The timbers which hold the collar are fitted up against these flanges. Extending downward from flange f is a flange, t', which lits down within flange E, so as to form a close chamber out of the cup G, in which the friction-balls I are conned.
As the pressure of the screw against its nut is upward, the bottom of thecup Gr will press against the friction-balls, which so easily turn against the flange f of' the collar as to avoid most of` the friction.
I have shown my invention applied to the hay or cotton press. By a simple inversion of construction it can be applied to machines used for lifting heavy weights.
I am aware that friction-balls have heretof'ore been used, and therefore do not broadly claim them; but
What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The. combination and arrangement of' the cast-iron screw B I) and cast hollow nut l), provided with cup G, with the two-part cast collar H. provided with flanges f and i, the whole being constructed and operating with friction-balls I in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the above-de scribed invention Iv have hereunto signed my name this 27th day of' August, 1866.
RICHARD H. GRAY.
