Description
HENRYcJEErTsQF MIDDLETOWN, CALIFORNIA. Y
BALING-PRESS.
Specification of Letters Patent. i
` Patented Aug. 4, 1908.
Application filed Qctober 10, 1907. Serial No. 396,815.V
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY C. BE'r'rs, a citizen of the United States., residing at Middletown, in the county of Lake and State of California, have invented a new and useful ,1 durable and e Ealing-Press, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to lbaling presses and its object is to provide a device of this character designed to produce a plurality of bales at one operation, all of said bales being compressed by acommon head or follower and material being fed to the respective compression compartments from a single hopper.
Another object is to provide novel power mechanism whereby reciprocal movement may be imparted" to the followers from a revoluble swee by means of very simple,
cient mechanism. With these and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features '2. Fig. 6 is a bottom plan view of the drive gear of the power mechanism.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1-1 designateparallel press boxes designed to be mounted upon running gear 2 and spaced apart longitudinally by means of a longitudinal beam 3 having a wear plate 4 secured 4to its lower surface. The adjoining walls of the press boxes are provided with registering longitudinal slots. 5 in which is slidably mounted a transversely extending plate 6 extending into the centers and forming parts of heads or followers 7 which are designed to reciprocate within the respective boxes 1 and which are designed to compress material during both strokes of the followers. slots 5 are provided with wear strips 8. Interposed between the adjoining walls of the press boxes is a rack bar 9 on which the plate 6 is secured as indicated particularly in Fig.
The longitudinal edgesof the- 3 and this rack bar carries antifriction rollers 10 upon its upper face which are designed to bear upwardly against the wear late 4. The bar is thus prevented from being pushed upward during the operation of the machine. A shaft 11 is journaled below and extends transversely of the press boxes at the centers thereof and carries apinion 12 which projects between the press boxes and meshes with the rack bar 9. One end of this shaft is connected by means of a universal joint 13, to a shaft 14 which in turn is connected by means of a universal joint 15 to a shaft 16 j ournaled upon a supporting frame 17. This shaft 16 has two oppositely disposed beveled gears 18. and 19 secured thereto and revolubly mounted above the shaft 16 is a drive gear 20 to which is secured a swee 21. As shown in Fig. 6 the teeth of the rive gear only extend for about one-half the circum-` ference of the gear so that said gear will successively mesh with the two gears 18 and 19', the teeth of the gear 2() moving into engagement with one of the beveled gears 18 and 19 immediately u on passing out of engagement with the ot er gear.
Each of the compression compartments h as a plurality of spring ressed dogs 22 of the usual or any preferre form for the purpose of retaining material after it has been compressed by the res ective followers 7 and means of the usua or any referred form such as yokes 23 are provide for contracting the end portions o the compression compartments for the purpose of retarding 4the movement of the bales therethrough.
A hopper 24 is arranged above the central` portions of the press boxes 1 so that material to be baled can be supplied to the two press boxes. When it is desired to use .the press herein described the material to be baled is directed into the boxes through hopper 24 and the gear 20 is rotated in any preferred manner, preferably by connecting one or more draft animals to the sweep 21. As the gear rotates the teeth thereon will successively mesh with gears 18 and 19 and cause the shaft 16 and the parts connected to it to rotate first in one direction and then in an opposite direction. The pinion 12 will thus reciprocate the rack 9 and the followers 7 secured to it. These followers in moving backward and forward within the two ress boxes will each press material during oth chine than where the followers are utilized for compressing material only during one stroke.
i What is claimed is:
l. In a baling press the combination with parallel press boxes, each of said boxes having oppositely disposed compression compartments, the adjoining walls of said boxes being slotted longitudinally; of a spacing beam interposed between the slotted walls of the boxes, a rack bar mounted to reciprocate beneath and to bear upwardly against said beam, mechanism for reciprocating the rack bar, a sectional follower within each press box, and a plate secured between the sections of the followers and constituting the centers of the followers, said plate bein0r mounted to reciprocate within the slots and being secured within a recess in the rack bar.
2. In a baling press the combination with spaced press boxes having registering longitudinal slots in their adjoining walls; of a plate extending through the slots and within the ress boxes, and heads fixedly connected to tie end portions of the plate, said plate constituting'the centers of the heads.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
