To (all whom may concern: i

lie it known that l, l ans M. Hanson, a citizen of the United titates, residing at Sawyer, in the county of Door. and State of l iisconsin, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Bailing-Presses, of which the following isa specification.

My invention relates to baling presses, and has torone of its objects the provision of a simple and etlicient baling press adapted for use in baling hay, straw, cotton, excelsior, and the like. i

A. further object is the provision of a press of the character mentioned in which the compressor head is adapted to do etlective work in both dire .-.tions of its reciprocatory movement in order to etl'eet greater economy in operation.

d still iurtl'ier objectis the provision of simple and etlicient operating means for operating the compressor head oi. the press. tlther objects will appear hereinafter.

An embodiment of my invention. is shown in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1. is a longitudinal section. taken through a press embodying my invention;

is an enlarged section taken on line 22 of Fig. 1. i i

Referring more particularly to the drawinnf, T have shown a casing 5, inclosing' a compressor chamber 6. Any desired term of eonr n'essor chaml and casino; may be provided. T have shown one elongated with a feed opening 7 near its central top porti and a discharge opening 8 at one end, and a discharge opening 9 at the other end. The feed opening; 7 is prmrided with a hopper 10 to facilitate feeding the materials to be baled into the compressor clnnnber (3. The materials utili' ed in forming the casing 5 and hopper 10 may he of any materials desirable, in either metal or wood, or a combination oi both.

In the compressor chamber 6 T have indicated a compressor head 11 adapted to be moved reciprocal'ily back and forth in the chamber 6 under the iieed opening); 7 in such a manner that materials to be baled may be fed into the opening '7 alternately on each side of the head. This will be obvious upon reference to the full line and dotted line positions of the head 11 in Fig. 1. The head 11 is provided with one or more portions 12 which extend downwardly through slots 18 in floor at of the casing 5. lln ,liig. 2 T have indicated two of the members 12, but it will be understood that as many as desirable may be used. 'lheiloor 5 will. be provided with sutticientslots 13 to acconnnodate the desired number of portions 12. The portrons 12 extend sutiicientlyfar through the slotsli'i to engage the upper side oil a sliding men'iber 1d and are secured to the latter by cap screws. 15, or their equivalent. The slide member 14 is shown as being mounted in gnideways 16 provided in iirame member lTat the bottom of the casing 5. The arrangement is such that the member 1.4: slides loineitiuilinally of the casingh and nnwes the head 11 back and forth under the hopper 10 and feed opening 7.

The frame 17 extends suliiciontly tar trom thcdischarge. opening; of the casing to provide suilicient roombetween the opening 8 and rlrivinp; mechanism of member 141: to permit the bales oi? material to be taken from the machine. The frame 17 carries upright frame member 1% in which is mounted the driving; mechanism of member 1%. The member. 14- is provided with a set of rack teeth 1.9 w] 'ch mesh with mutilated gearsQO and 21. The gears 52 and 21 are preferably rotated .in opposite directions and arranged with relation to each other so that one rear moves the member it in one direction, and the other gear moves such member in. the opposite direction. Tn the device shown the gears 20 and are mounted on shafts 22 in the frame member 18, and the shafts connected together through a train of gears 23. One of the shatts of gears has a large near F2 which meshes with a pinion E25, and the latter connected through a shaft 26 with a driving pulley 27, which in turn is connected to any suitable source of power, not shown, by means oi an endless belt The means for driving the mutilated gears 20 and 21 may be varied as desired. in llig. 1, mutilated gear 20 is shown as just completing its operation on the member 1a to move the head 11 to its leit-hand terminal of movement. its soon as the gear 20 rotates sui'liciently to :tree it self from the rack teeth 19, the teeth of gear 21 are adapted to engage the raclr teeth 19 and move the member 14- in the opposite direction until head 11 comes to its dotted line position shown in this figure.

T have shown a form of teedinp; mecha nism for feeding material. automatically into Mid llttlt the compressor chamber 6. This form of device comprises a feeder member 29 mounted on the free end of an arm 30, which is fixed on a shaft 31, and the latter mounted on a suitable portion of the casing 5. At one end of shaft 31 I provide an arm 32 with a slot 33 therein. A shaft 34, having a crank arm 35 therein is also mounted on a suitable portion of the casing with the crank arm 35 engaging the slot 33 to oscillate arms 32 and 33 to move the feeding member from its full line to its dotted line positions in Fig. 1. The shaft 34 is connected by means of a sprocket gearing 36 with a suitable portion of the driving means, such as a shaft 22, so that the shaft 34 will rotate at the ratio of 2 to 1 with shaft 22. With this arrangement the feeder member 29 will be caused to pass through two cycles of its movement while the shaft 22 rotates once. This will cause the member 29 to feed material through opening 7 into the casing 5 on each side of the head 11 to cause the device to compress the material into bales in both ends thereof. This will provide a double baling machine.

I claim 1. A baling press comprising a casing inclosing an elongated compressor chamber; a sliding member mounted for movements longitudinally of the compressor chamber; ahead in the compressor chamber connected with said member; rack teeth on said member; and a plurality of mutilated driving gears meshing with said rack teeth, each of said gears being adapted to move said member in one direction.

2. A baling press comprising a casing inclosing an elongated compressor chamber; a sliding member mounted for movements longitudinally of the compressor chamber; a head in the compressor chamber connected with said member; rack teeth on said mem her; and two mutilated driving gears adapted to rotate in opposite directions and mesh with said rack teeth, one at a time.

3. A baling press comprising a casing inclosing an elongated compressor chamber; a sliding member mounted adjacent the compressor chamber; a head in the com pressor chamber connected with said member; rack teeth on said member; two mutilated gears adapted to mesh with said rack teeth, one at a time; a train of gearing con necting said mutilated gears and adapted to drive the latter in opposite directions; and a driving connection connected with said train of gearing.

4. A baling press comprising an elongated compressor casing having a feed opening therein; a member slidably mounted in the casing; a compressor head in the casing connected with said member; rack teeth on said member; two mutilated gears adapted to mesh, one at a time, with the rack teeth for reciprocating said member; and a feed arm connected with the mutilated gears and adapted to reach through said feed opening while each of the mutilated gears is meshing with the rack teeth.

5. A baling press comprising an elongatml compressor casing having a feed opening therein; a member slidably mounted in said casing; a compressor head in the casing and connected with said member; rack teeth on said member; two mutilated gears adapted to mesh, one at a time, with said rack teeth; a train of gears connecting said mutilated gears and adapted to drive the latter in opposite directions; an oscillatory feed member mounted on the casing; a driving eon- .nection between the feed member and said train of gearing adapted to more said 1nember through a complete cycle of its movement while each mutilated gear is in mesh with said rack teeth; and a driving connection connected with said train of gearing.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification on this Qllth day of January, A. D. 1917.
