IMPROVEMENT IN BALlNG-PRESSES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 214,540, dated April 22, 1879; application iiled September 16, 1878.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN W1LKEs,of Gharlotte, in the county of Mecklenburg and State of North Carolina, have invented an Improved Baling-Press,of which the following is a specication.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of my improved press with part of the frame broken away. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same Fig. 3, a perspective view of the clampin g-bar for securing the doors of the press. Fig. l.tis an enlarged plan view of the gearing with the press-frame removed 5 and Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4.
A is the frame of the press. In the lower part of the frame, and extending lengthwise of it, is a strong beam, B, upon which the drivin g-gearin gis mounted, and through which the press-screwJ passes. A suitable drivingpulley, C, is fixed to a shaft, c, which revolves in bearings c1 el. This shaft carries near its outer end, next the driving-pulley, a loose pinion, c2, which gears :into a wheel, D, ixed upon the outer end of the shaft d. This pinion c2 has upon its inner side a collar or sleeve extending through the outer bearing, c1, and having thereon suitable clutch-teeth for engagement with a sliding clutch, F. Upon the inner end of the shaft c is another loose pinion, c3, having upon its outer face clutch-teeth, also for engagement with the sliding clutch. This pinion c3 gears into a spur-wheel, E, mounted upon the inner end of an intermediate shaft, e, which, in turn, gears into a wheel, d', fixed to the shaft d. A clutch, F, slides upon the shaft c, and is secured thereon by a feather, f. The clutch is operated by means of a shifting-lever, Gr, pivoted upon a post, g. The pinions c2 and o3 are prevented from slipping endwise on the shaft c by small studs or projections c4 on said shaft. A suitable bevel-gear, h, secured upon the shaft d, near its inner end, drives a large horizontal bevel-wheel, H, through the threaded eye of which the press-screw works.
It will be obvious that by engaging the clutch F with the outer pinion, c2, motion will be imparted through the gearing to the pressscrew, (in this case raising it,) and that by engaging the clutch with the inner pinion, c3,
a reverse movement will be given the pressscrew. The press can thus be started, stopped', or reversed simply by shifting the clutch-lever to engage with one or the other of the pinions, or to rest between them.
The wheel H is supported and revolves npon anti-friction balls h1, and is held down in engagement with the bevel-wh eel h by a roller, h2, mounted on an upright standard, h3, which relieves the press-screw and its sockets from e any undue strain.
A follower, J, having recesses for balingstrips, is secured upon the upper end of the press-screw J.
The four walls K of the compressing-chamber are supported and braced by suit-able beams 7c.
It is necessary to tie and remove the bales from the press at different elevations, owing to their varyin g sizes, and I therefore provide doors, placed at different heights in the compressing-chamber, and hinged at their lower sides, so as to swing out and down. The two side doors, L L, are placed at the same height, the two end doors,MM, being slightly higher. The doors L L turn with strong beams L1 L1, which extend across their lower edges, and have their bearingsin stout cross-beams L2 L2. The side doors turn with suitable beams M M', which extend across them at their lower edges and engage in bearings m m.
The doors are securely locked and braced against lateral strain while the bale is being compressed by the following means: Across the side doors, near their tops, extend bars N N, the ends of which project beyond the edges of the doors. Vhen the doors are closed the end doors t between those of the sides, and they are all locked and secured by the two clamping or locking bars O O, provided with notches or recesses fitting over the bars N N.
By this construction the doors are made of y much greater strength, and are more firmly secured against all strains than can be accomplished by the use of hinges and other ordinary fastenings.
The head-block P slides upon suitable ways p p, so as to be moved aside for the purpose of filling the press, and is held lirmly down by two cross-beams, Q Q.
It is obvious that instead of having the follower move upward, as in the present instance, the construction could be reversed, and it could be made to move downward.
It is also obvious that by duplicating the In a baling-press, the combination of the bevel-wheel H, mounted upon suitable antifriction balls, the press-screw J, carrying the recessed follower J and the standard h3 and compressing-chamber and the parts accessory roller h2, whereby the screw and its sockets thereto the press could be converted into a are relieved from. strain, as set forth.
double-acting press, that could be worked by a continuous movement ofthe driving-pulley,
-as at present.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
