HOUSEHOLD BAIiING-PRESS.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 25, 1917.

Application filed June 5, 1916. Serial No. 101,689.

T 0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN T. JoHNsnN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Household Bailing-Presses; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to a simple baling press or crate for household use into which waste paper such as newspapers and the like may be placed when discarded, and stored, so that the baled papers may be suitably bound with cord or wire and removed from the press, and then easily disposed of or sold.

It is an object therefore of this invention to construct a simple type of paper baling press for household use wherein the papers may be deposited and at any time easily bound with cord or wire and removed from the press for disposal.

It is also an object of this invention to construct a paper baling press adapted to receive folded papers stacked therein, permitting binding means to be tied therearound prior to the removal of the papers from the press, the removal thereof being accomplished by moving two sides of the press away from the other two thereof by releasing certain locking mechanisms for the purpose.

It is furthermore an object of this invention to construct a paper baling crate or press comprising detachable sections adapted to be locked to one another to receive papers deposited therein to be stacked and corded, and easily removed therefrom by unlocking the sections.

It is finally an object of this invention to construct a simple baling press adapted for household use, easy to operate and serving effectually to perform the purpose.

The invention (in a preferred form) is illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter more fully described.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a baling press embodying the principles of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the device.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view thereof.

Fig. 4t is'a top plan view illustrating the separating operation of the press sect-ions.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of device, with the operation shown in dotted lines.

Fig. 6 is a top plan, view thereof, showing the operation in dotted lines.

Fig. 7 is a detail of a hinge connection. Fig. 8 is a detail of a. latch connection. As shown in the drawings: 2

'Referring first to Figs. 1 to i inclusive, the baling press is built intwo sections, substantially the same in construction, one section being provided with a bottom 1, and the other section with. a bottom 2, adapted to fit thereover when the sections are locked to one another. Secured on two sides of the bottom 1, are uprights 3, which are braced by horizontal bars l, connected thereto in any suitable manner and spaced therealong. Similarly the other section consists of uprights 5, secured to the bottom 2, and braced by horizontal cross members 6, spaced therealong and secured thereto. horizontal members 6, of one section of the press have pins 7, secured therein, and pivoted on the ends of the horizontal members 4:, of the other section of the press are latches 8, adapted to engage with said pins to lock the respective sections one to another with the bottom 2, of one section registered directly over the bottom 1, of the other. The bottom 2, of one of the sections of the press is provided with two parallel grooves 9, therein, permitting a cord 10, to be threaded therealong when a number of papers 11, have been stacked within the assembled press, said cord 10, being threaded upwardly inside of the respective horizontal members 4 and 6, of the press, at the upper end thereof, and there knotted, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

In the modified form of my device illustrated in Figs. 5 to 8 inclusive, I have shown the baling press as consisting of a bottom 12, having parallel grooves 13, therein, with rigid upright side frame members 14: and 15. A pair of wall ' frame sections 16 and 17, respectively, connected by hinges 18, form a part of the press, and the wall frame section 16, is connected to the rigid wall frame section 1 1, by hinges 19. Mounted along one edge of the wall frame section 17, is a plurality of latch hooks 20, and pins 21 are provided along the edges of the wall frame section 15, to receive the latches engaged there- The ends of the the; case may be, and the ends I used, merely lifted away from 'ing the sections of the with to lock the hinged sections 16 and '17, to the rigid frame members of the press.

The operation is as follows: In either of the types shown, when the baling press is to be used, it is first lockedup into the boX-like form shown in Figs. 1 or 5, and

. the papers stored therein,usually newspapers,

folded flat and placed therein. When the press has finally become filled with papers, such as shown inFig. 2, cords or wires 10 are threaded through the grooves 9 or 13, as in the bottom of the press, of the cords led upwardly inside of the horizontal members of the side wall frames to the top of-the press and there knotted to one another. The sections of the press are then unlocked and the press opened either in the manner shown in Figs. 5 and 6, or if the construction shown in Fig. 1 is one another, as shown in Fig. 4, and the corded papers removed and'disposed of.

It is obvious that any type of look or latching means may be used in place of the latch hooks and pins I have shown, for lockbaling press detach- 'ably to one another.

without departing am aware that the details of constructionv may be varied through a wide range from the principles of other with one of said this inventionfand I therefore donot purpose limiting the patent granted otherwise member, two side wall members rigidly secured thereto and to each other at an angle, another bottom. member, and two other side wall members rigidly secured thereto and to each other at an angle, the two sections formed by said 'bottomzmembers and side wall members adapted tobe locked to each bottom members overlying the other and with the sidewall members forming the four sides of a boxlike structure.

In testimony whereof have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
