Patented Mar. 19, 1918.
Application filed. January 10, 1916, Serial No. 71,298. Renewed February 13, 1918. Serial No. 216,972.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WEBB C. HIGH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Thackerville, in the county of Love and State of Oklahoma, have invented a new and useful Block for Cotton-Presses, of which the tollowing is a specification. V
The object of my invention is to provide a novel form of attachment having novel means for preventing the bagging which covers the ordinary form of block from becoming entangled in the press mechanism. With the blocks now in use in the Munger and other presses, whichdo not have my form of construction, bagging is frequently. caught in crevices between blocks. Thls causes a loss of time on the part of the operator, whose work is that of tying the bales of cotton on the upper floor, because he has to stop his regular work and proceed downstairs to pull the pieces of bagging from between the blocks before he can proceed with his work.
I attain the objects of my invention by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a perspective of the press mechanism with a portion broken away to disclose a block to which my attachment is applied; Fig. 2 is a top plan ofthe circular floor portion over which the press rotates and the position of my blocks in. relation to this part of the machine; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal side view of one of my improved blocks; Fig. 4 is a section on line 4-i of Fig. 5; and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal side view of a block covered with bagging and with the flanged in portion in section.
Like characters of reference designate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the accompanying. drawings, 1 is the sill of the press, located on the lower floor as shown in Fig.1. 2 is a heavy bottom block, operated by the hydraulic ram 3.
8 is a suitable hydraulic ram or screwconnected to the heavylower block 2 to operate it. Some presses'employ a large screw-pin and some use a hydraulic ram to press the cotton. i is applicants improved block. There are two such blocks, one for each box of the press, as illustrated. 5 designates the press chambers or boxes of a double-box press. The two press chambers are exactly 6 designates the upper floor where operator works. 7 is upper circular flooring encircling press chambers. 8 is a heavy pipe about t inches diameter, about which the press chambers revolve, and which constitutes the principal support. s Referring detail to block i it is provided with spaced slats 9 secured transversely on the upper portion of the block body 10. That much of the block is of usual construction and is not claimed as my inven tion. Block body 10 has attached to its opposite or lower side my attachment, consisting of a block 10 of smaller size than block 10, block 10 in turn having attached to its opposite or lower side suitable metal guard strips 11 in Fig. 5, having inwardly turned flanged portions 12. Block body 10 and attached member 10 are provided with novel cut-out end portions 13, adapted to receive and protect the edges of bagging B,
which is mounted over the upper portions of the block as shown in Figs. 4i and 5. 14 are suitable cleats secured to block 4 as shown, to retain the block in proper posiprovement is applied to the blocks before in use. In operation the press chambers 5 revolve around pipe 8. The lower block 2, operated by ram 3, is driven upward,thus driving. block 4 up to the upper floor. When bottom block 2 is raised to the upper portion of the press chamber the bagging B is secured over block 4i as shown in Fig. 4:. The block then travels back to the bottom of the press chamber. The press chamber thereupon makes half of one full revolution. The
cotton then is tamped by a steam tamper until there is a sufiicient amount of cotton. Then the pressis revolved another half revolution. At this stage of the operation with i the type of block formerly used the edges of bagging B would get caught between the upper and lower blocks. This would necessitate' the operators descent from the upper floorwherehe is employed, tying the bales, to the lower floor in order to pull portions ofthe bagging B from between blocks 2 and 4. If he waits until the press is in its elevated position the bagging that had been caught between the blocks could not be disengaged because the pressure would be too great, and it would have to be out 01f, thus causing a loss of time. The smaller area oi attachment 10 as compared With main block 10, and also cut-out end portions 13 provide space to receive the edges of the bagging B, and this with flanged portions 12' of guard strips 11 protect the edges of the bagging and prevent its getting entangled with the adjacent block 2.
In turning the double-box press one lOOX passes over the line-shaft and sometimes the bagging will Wrap up on the line shaft. When this occurs the press has to be stopped and redressed. My improved block prevents such accidents. 7
What I claim is:
1. An attachment for cotton press blocks comprising a block member of less area than the body of the block to which it is attached,
said smaller block member having a metal guardmember of relatively larger area at t-ached to it and having its edges projecting for the purposes described.
2. An attachment for cotton press blocks comprising a block member of less area than the body of the cotton press block to which it is applied, metal guard strips attached to and having flanged projecting edges at opposite longitudinal ends of the block for inclosing the ends of bagging, and having cut-out portions, as and for the purposes described.
