Letters Patent No. 88,7 7 5, lated April 13, 1869, antedated .April 8, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN1 BALING-PRESSES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the sama To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER K. DEDERICK, of the town of Greenbush, in the county of Rensselaer, and the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toggle-Lever Baling-Presses; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention and improvements in toggle-lever pressesconsists in attaching one end of press frame, or to the ing the power about halfway up and the windlass' across the centre of the frame at the bottom, which may be placed at the end, it' desired, across at the point P P, so as to have one rope wind direct.

L L are the levers attached vto the frame at the side.

It R are rods, connecting the point A to the follower F.

Y is an iron yoke, securing the head H to the foot of the power, and is attached to the same pins, and arranged so as to `swing oli` the head timber to remove it for iilling the box.

B is the rope attached to the levers at their outer ends, and passing over the pulleyO, thence around the pulley D, and direct to the windlass W.

The levers and arrangement ofthe power at the opposite end of the press are the same as described.

Figure 2 is a sectional side and top view, showing the levers L L attached to the head timbers at the point E, and connected at the point A to the follower timber or timbers, projecting through the box at the point G.

The rope is attached at the point A, and passes over theroller I to the windlass W. Two ropes to each lever may be used if desired, attaching one to each end of the windlass.

Figure 3 is also a section of a side view with power and attachments the same as iig. 1, but showing the windlass W lengthwise the frame at the bottom, and the rope winding direct at each end of the press.

Figure 4 is another section of side view, showing an equivalent arrangement of the levers.

Ihe levers L are located at the point S, and their outer ends are connected to the follower by the rope or chain B passing over the pulley C, and down the side of the press, as shown to the follower F.

The power is communicated by the windlass W through the rope B, which passes around the stationary pulley D, and around the pulley O, located on the centre-pin, and is passed from there and secured at l' the bottom of the press, as at U.

The same arrangement of power may be inverted,

and the follower drawn down by the. rods instead of up; also, instead of a windlass at the bottom, the ropes may be passed to a separate capstan located near the press.

In applying the power to the windlass W in fig. 1, it is comlnunicatedby the rope B around the pulley D and pulley C to-thelpoint A, causing it to vibrate outward and upward, and finally in against the pulley O, thus drawing the follower upwards by the rods R It. Having described my improvements in baling-presses, I claim the arrangement herein described of the levers L L, rods It R, follower F, and rope B, constructed and arranged lsubstantially as shown.
