PATENT OFFICE.
OF SULLIVAN, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN HAY AND COTTON PRESSES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 149,428, dated April 7, 1874; application filed February 28,1874.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS HENRY BEV- ERIDGE, of the town of Sullivan, in the county of Moultrie and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pressers of Bay, Cotton, Broom Corn, 850.; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it,-referenee being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
This invention has relation to presses for cotton, hay, broomcorn, &c.; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of parts having reference particularly to the construction of the press-box and press-door, all as hereinafter specifically described and claimed;
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of my inven tion. Fig. 2 is a plan view, and Fig. 3 is a detail View.
A designates an upright frame, similar in general form to the frame of an ordinary haypress. Bis the base or sill supporting said frame, and provided at each end with a horizontal Windlass-shaft, 0, having holes 0 for the reception of operating-beams. D D designate, respectively, ratchets and pawls, used in connection with said Windlass-shafts to retain them in position. E represents a series of pulleys arranged between each of said Windlass-shafts and the press-frame A, and located within slots cut in the middle beam, E, of the sill, to which beam said pulleys are pivoted. F designates the press-box having suitable strengthening-plates attached to the sides, and having doors or gates F, which are opened outwardly on hinges when the contents of the box are to be removed. Gr
designates wedge-shaped blocks hinged to each door, and corresponding with wedgeshaped or beveled recesses G in the closed sides of the press-box, into which they fit snugly when the doors are closed. The object of said blocks and their recesses is to allow the interior space of the box to be enlarged by the opening of the doors, and thus allow the pressed contents to be easily withdrawn.
The wedgeshaped block I consider an important feature of my improved press.
G are hooks, to secure the doors when closed. H represents the press-follower of usual construction, and provided with a horizontal beam, I, the ends of which project through the openings in the sides of the frame A, and hold pulleys I corresponding to those of-the presssill. The beam I and follower H are braced by means of the upright i and bowed band or strap 1'. J designates a frame hinged to one end of the press-sill, and supporting at its outer end an upright Windlass or capstan, J which is operated by horsepower through the medium of one or more beams, J to which the horse or horses are'attached. K K designate the ropes by which the follower is lowered. These ropes are attached at one end to the follower or beam 1, close to the frame, and thence pass in order, as shown, over and under the pulleys, respectively, 'of the series'E I, and are thence continued under the sill and attached to the capstan, by turning which it is obvious the follower will be readily lowered, and great force exerted to compress the contents of the box. L indicates the ropes by which the follower is raised. One end of each rope L is attached to the beam I; whence the rope is carried upward and over a pulley, I,journaled at the top of one of the uprights of the frame, and
is thence brought down and attached to a hand-Windlass, l, journaled to the side of the frame.
hen it is not required to press the contents of the box very tightly the horse-power attachment, consisting of the hinged frame and capstan, may be dispensed with, and the loweringropes of the follower attached to the handwindlass C.
A suitably-arranged brace may be used in the Wedge-shaped recesses G, as shown and connection with the draft-beam of the capdescribed. stan, to retain it in any desired posit-ion dur- In testimony that I claim the foregoing I ing the operation of pressing. have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of The frame J should be covered with planks, February, 1874. to give the horse a footing.
Having fully described my invention I I'LHOMAS HENRY BLVERIDGE' clai1n- Witnesses The combination of the wedges G with the EDWIN ANDERSON, press-doors F and the press-box F, having JOHN S. WILLIAMS
