PATENT rErcE.
R. G. W'ILLIAMS, OF HANNAIIATCHIE, GEORGIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON-PRESSES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 20,973, dated July 20, 1858.
To 1f/ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, REDDING GILBERT WILLIAMS, of Hannahatchie, Stewart county, and State of Georgia, have invented new and useful Improvements in GottoirIresses; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in the manner of placing the screw and lever in combination with the rods operating on the follower for pressing the material to be pressed, as hereinafter described. .Y
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction. l
Figure lis a side elevation. Fig. 2 is an end elevation.
In the construction of my invention I use any of the materials in common use.
In Fig. l, A is the frame on which I place my press. The cross-piece or side of the frame A on which the screw stands has let into it a plate or bearing, on which the screw rests and on whichit turns.
C is the lever for applying the powerto operate the screw.
G is the frame ofthe press, and which cxtends some distance above the frame A, and down nearly to the cross-sill A. In the upper part of this frame G is situated the box to Contain the material to be pressed, which is put into it at the top, and is pressed down (by pulling the follower) upon the cross-piece A by means of the rods G, which are connected with the screw D by the sliding piece E. This cross piece E contains the nut through which the screw passes, and it extends out to the frames G on each side, and between which it slides. The rods F are attached to this sliding piece, and extend up to the top of the box or follower. At the upper end of these rods are arms at right angles with them, and which extend half the length of the follower, where they meet, and are fastened to it by a screw passing through them into the follower, and on which the follower can turn so as to open the top of the box to receive the cotton, &c.
I is the side of the box let down; J, the end of the box; L, the box. The follower N is shown in dotted lines.
0 o represent the arm at right angles with the rods F, (shown in dotted lines;) I), screwbolt; R, the nut, both shown in dotted lines.
In Fig. 2 corresponding parts are shownby the same letters of reference.
In the operation of my invention the screw D stands below the press, which causes the pressure to be pulled downward. The power is applied to the levers G, which are horizontal, and always remain in the center of draft, there pasing into the lower end of the screw D, which stands on a washer or metallic plate let into the lower cross-sill A, passing up through slide E, containing the screwnut, into the upper eross-piece A, where it is let into a washer or plate, against which it rests. These two plates are the bearing-points of the screw D. From this slide E extends the rods F, andare attached to the follower D, as described.
I/Vhen I wish to use my press the screw is turned, thus causing the slide to run up, which presses up rods F, which carry the follower up until it is above the box. Then I turn it out of the way, or I may take it out by reversing it, and fill the box with cotton, &c. I then commence pressing by turningthe screw which carries down the slide E, bringing down with it said rods and follower, which presses the cotton down on the crosssill A until it is compressed to the required size. I then open the sides of the box L, as seen at I, and take the bale out, and which is ready to be secured and put away. This is the process of pressing, and I only have to repeat again the same.
The outer frame A may be substituted by the giirhouse, and the press set up in the same, as represented here set up in the frame A; or the pressmay be set up as here set up, and contiguous to the gin-house.
The advantages of my press are in placing the horizontal levers so that they are always on the line of draft. This is of great importance in using horse-power. By the combination of the rods F with the screw I draw or pull downward to press instead of pushing the follower down, as is the usual inode, and l any required length of lever is obtained, and it is a cheap durable press, which is the great thus increasing by my arrangement the power thing desired by cotton-planters. of my press, operating as set forth, as de- Havng thus described the nature of my inscribed. vention, what I claim, and desire to secure by R.
