JOSIAH E. ALFORD, OF FRANKLINVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA.
IMPROVEMENT IN PRESSES.
Specification forming part'of Letters Patent No. 132,229, dated October l5, 1872.
i To all whom 'it 'may concern:
Be itknown that I, J osLAH E. ALFoRD, of Franklinville, in the county of Franklin and State of North Carolina, have invented certain Improvements in Baling-Presses7 of which the following is a specification, reference be y ing had to the accompanying drawing.
My invention relates topresses used in baling cotton, hay, Src.; and consists in a novel manner of constructing and operating them, as hereinafter described.
Figure l is a side elevation of my press, with the driving-gear taken in section. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the press on the line as :o of Fig. 1.
In constructing my press I build a suitable frame or body, A, having its top provided with a fixed bed or head-block, a, and with doors for closing the sides.
Vmay be employed, I extend two belts, I and K, arranged to run in opposite directions, and slack enough to slip on the drums without turning them. In the lower part of the frame I mount a horizontal lever, L, on a rod, N, so that it may be moved sidewise thereon, and on the inner end of the lever, which extends throughunder the drums or pulleys, I mount a roller, c, as shown.
When operating the press the two belts are allowed to run continuously and loosely until the bed or plunger is to be moved. If the bed is to be raised the lever is moved outward on the rod and its outer end depressed so as to cause the roller c to bear against and tighten the outer belt, so that it will drive the drums in the required direction, the other belt of course running loosely in the meantime. As soon as the lever is released it slackens the belt and the drums stop. When the bed is to be lowered the lever is moved inward on the rod, and then its end depressed so as to cause the roller' to tighten the inner belt, so that it will revolve the drums backward, or in a direction the reverse of that in which they were turned by belt.
By thus arranging the two drums and belts and the movable tightening-lever I enable the operator to control the operation of the press with great ease and quickness.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure, is-
The baling-press constructed as described, and provided with the drums G and H, and with the laterally-adjustable lever L having the roller on its end, in combination with the slack belts I and K arranged to run in opposite directions, as and for the purpose set forth.
