BALlNG-PRESS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters atent No. 653,757, dated July 17, 1900. Application tiled October 24, 1899.1 Serial No. 734,672. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom' t may concern.-
Beitknown that we,'1HoMAsEUGENES1KEs, residing in Dodge county, and SIMEON R. SIKES, residingat Helena,in the county of Telfair, State of Georgia, citizens of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ealing-Presses; and we do declare the'following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a partof this specication.
Our invention relates to improvements inv baling-presses; and it consists in a peculiar arrangement and organization of instrumentalities for baling hay, straw, duc., by means of which the power applied tothe plunger for compressing the material to be baled increases in proportion as said material becomes compressed. After full compression by a quick return action the plunger is wholly withdrawn from the baling-box, and for an appreciable time it remains substantially at rest', giving snfiicient time to iill the baling-box in front of the plunger with material to be compressed before the' plunger is again moved forward, the principal object of our invention being the means employed for quickly withdrawing the plunger from the baling-box immediately on the completion of its inward stroke.
Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a plan viewof ourimproved baling-press. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same viewed in the direction of the arrow 2, Fig. l. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are plan views of the plunger-operating mechanism in different positions.
The baling-box A is constructed in the usual well-known form, havinga solid top and bottom and open sides through which the baling-wire is passed for tying the bales. An opening or mouth is made in the top of the baling-box at its rear end, through which material to be packed is fed. The balng-box is long enough to contain two bales, which are separated from each other by a grooved partition-board a, the forward bale serving as an abutment against which the new bale is compressed. The area of the outlet end of the baling-box is slightly less inV crosssection than the body ofthe box, by which means a resistance is oered to the outlet of the completed bale,the latter thus serving as an vtwo longitudinal beams B, one on each side of the born-at thev bottom. These beams B, which are secured by bolts b to two other beams O, extend aconsiderable distance rearwardly of the `baling-box in a longitudinal direction and are bolted to afoot-piece D. A
separating-block E, placed between the beams C at their outer ends and secured thereto and to the footpiece D, carries a vertical journal or stud d, on which is centrally pivoted a. straight lever F, carrying a rollerf at each end. A sweep G, bolted to the lever F, is provided with suitable couplings for the attachment of horses. The plunger H Within the baling-box is attached to the forward end of a plunger-rod H', its rear end being preferably shod with a metalplate h and having a bar h attached to one side and reaching beyond the plate h. Near the extreme rear end of the power-stand, formed by the beams C, footpiece D, and separating-block E',islpiv oted at one end a vibratinglever I, to Wh'ichgat its free end, is in turn pivoted a link or coupling bar J, the other end of which is jonrnaled to the plunger-rod at j between the plunger H and the metal plate h. The inner side of the vibrating lever I carries a V-shaped projection or tooth I', so placed as to be struck by the rollers f on the straight lever F as it is rotated by the sweep G. A short distance forward of the separating-block E is a cross-timber O', bolted to the beams O, which forms a rest or slide to carry the weight of the rear end of the plunger-rod H. A curved guide or rail K, attached at one end to the timber C,curves IOO outwardly and forwardly on one side of the power-stand and then turns inwardly as far as the beam C, to which it is bolted. A pin h2, which may carry a roller, depends from the under side of the plunger-arm H' and bears against the inner side of the guide or rail K as the plunger is driven into the baling-box. Springs a3, attached to the inner sides of the baling-box, actin the usual manner to prevent the return of material when the plunger is withdrawn. Across the mouth of the baling-box,at its forward side, is a yielding bar A', which extends into the throat of said box below the under surface of its top side. It is attached to Hat springs a5, as shown, and yields upwardly on the advance ot' the plunger to permit the material to enter the baling-box. It also serves in the same manner as springs a3 to prevent the material from returning.
Hay, straw, or other suitable material to be bundled having been placed in the baling-box A through its mouth, power is applied to the sweep. The plunger, being in its rearmost position, is now advanced by the roller f engaging the shod end h of the plunger-rod H as the sweep G, with the lever F, is rotated 0n the vertical stud or journal d. (See Fig. 4.) In this position the power applied to the plunger is least effective, because the plunger-rod H and lever F are at a right angle to' each other. At the same time the material in the baling-box is soft and easily compressed. As the sweep continues to move around in the direction of the arrow the angle between the plunger-box and lever becomes greater and greater, thus increasing the power expended in compressing the material, which now becomes more compact. Gradually approaching a straight line, the plunger-bar and leverare in position to exert their greatest power against the mass of material,which now offers the greatest resistance. (See Fig. 5.) During this action the pin h2 on the plunger-bar H has been guided inwardly by the rail K, keeping the plunger-bar and lever always in connection. The plunger-bar H and lever F having and pushes the plunger-rod laterally without advancing the plunger, at which time new material is placed in the baling-box. Each semirotation of the sweep G moves the plunger into and out of the baling-box.
Referring to Figs. l and 3, it will be seen that a comparatively-small movement of the sweep is required to withdraw the plunger from the baling-box. After the plunger has been withdrawn it rests while the sweep makes about one-eighth rotation, the plunger-rod being moved laterally during this movement. Finally the forward movement of the plunger takes place, which requires a quarter-rotation or more of the sweep for its full stroke.
Having thus described our invention, we.
claiml. In a baling-press, the combination withV the baling-box, its plunger and plunger-rod,
the plunger-rod being mounted so as to move laterally and having a projection extending beyond and-parallel with its end, of a vibrating lever connected with the plunger-rod, and
a centrally-pivoted rotatable lever located in relation to said lever and plunger-rod that inV 2. In a baling-press, the combination with the baling-box, its plunger and plunger-rod,
the plunger-rod being mounted so as to move laterally and having a projection extending beyond and parallel with its end, of a vibrating lever having a projection, a link or rod connected at one end to said lever and at its opposite end to the plunger-rod, and a centrally-pivoted rotatable lever located in relation to said lever and the plunger-rod that in its rotation its ends will successively engage the projection of the vibrating lever to move said lever outwardly and retract the plungerrod, then engage the projection of the plunger-rod to move the rod laterally, and then engage the end of the plunger-rod to move it longitudinally, substantially as described.'
In testimony whereof we ax our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
