BALlNG -PRESS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Ifatent No. 224,281, dated February 10, 1880.
I Application filed August 20, 1879.
scription of the saine, reference being had to r the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 representsg ao side elevation of a press constructed in accordance with my in vention. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same;
. Fig. 3, a horizontal'sectionalView; and Figs.
4 and 5 are views of modifications.
' Similar letters of reference inthe several figures denote similar parts. i
This invention relates to that class of baling-presses' for which Letters Patent of the United States were granted and issued to'me October 29, 1872, and at various times since that-date; and it has for its object, 'first, to improve their construction and operation" so as to produce bales of greater or less. density at will; and, secondly, to improve-the manner of connecting the power to thetraverser or plungen; j
To these ends the invention consists, primarily, in the employment of means for. increasing ordiminishing at will the area ofthepassage between the press-box and the bale-chamber, whereby to render the sections or charges of material larger or smaller. and produce bales of greater or less density. g i 7 It further consists in the employment of one or moreadjustable forming plates or blocks having inclined faces, for the purpose of so increasing or diminishing thearea of the passage between the press-box and-bale+chamber.
It further consists in'rendering the inner end of the bale-chamber adjustable to permit of the extreme adjustments :of the forming of parts which I will now proceed to describe.
y In the drawin gs,A represents the press-box;
B, the bale-chamber; B, thetraverser (hadjustable plates or blocks for enlarging or contracting the passage between the press-box and the bale-chamber; l), the girtswhich support the sides of the press near the plates or blocks 0; E, the girts which support the sides at the discharge end; F, the tying-slots Gr, screw-rods," by which the plates or blocks 0 are adjusted; and H, similar rods applied to the girts D for secnringthe sides of the press immediately back of the adjustable plates.
In allpresses of this class the material to be baled is fed into the pressbox in successive ceding charge by means of a reciprocating traverser, thus building up or forming the bale ofa series of separate and independent sections. 1
It has been customary torender adjustable the discharge end of the bale-chamber,in order to increase or'diminish the friction on the bale passing through, or to employ special devices for this purpose, so as to enable compact or light bales to be formedas desired. In my present invention I accomplish this same result in a much more simple manner-that is to say, I secure the opposite walls, of the balechamber firmly in position, and preferably parallel with each other, instead of inclined, as heretofore. I then contract or enlarge the passage between the press-box and the balechamber by adjusting the plates 0 out or in, so as toforni the sections of material larger or smaller before forcing them into the balechamber.
The adjustable plates are located just back of the'retaining-shoulders I. Each'sectiou or charge, as it is forced forward by the traverser, passes the retaining-shoulders and enters the space of which the adjustable plates constitute one or more of the side walls, and there expands more or less, according to the adj ustment'of said plates. The next succeeding charge or section forces the section that is confined in the adjustable passage into the balechamber, and, as the plates are adjusted farther from or nearer to each other, the said sectionexerts more or less expansive pressure on the walls of the bale-chamber, and thus protion.
The inner surfaces ofthe plates are beveled duces friction, and resists as a head in propor-.
60 charges, andeach charge is in turn forced forward into the bale-chamber against the pre- .ner ends of the walls, as shown.
and the ends of the walls of the bale-chamber next the plates are likewise beveled for a similar purpose. As before stated, the opposite walls of the bale-chamber are preferably arranged parallel with each other. If, therefore, the plates 0 should be adjusted very wide apart, in order to form very large sections and make very compact bales, it is obvious that the ends of the walls would project and form abrupt shoulders, that would prevent the easy passage of the sections. To provide against this, I enlarge the entrance to the bale-chainber, to make it correspond with the position of the plates, by means of the adjusting-rods H or other suitable devices arranged at the-in- This enlargement of the entrance of the bale-chainber by the expansion of the ends of its walls causes said ends to operate upon the sections in' a manner similar to that of the plates. In fact, by slight modification, the adjustable plates may be dispensed with, and the same results attained by extending the walls of the chamber up to the retaining-shoulders I and adjustingthe ends of said walls out or in, according as it is desired to form large or small sections and compact or light bales.
lt should be here observed that in the operation of this classof presses each section, as it passes the retaining-shoulders I, expands to the full size of the passage beyond such shoulders, and as this passage is made larger or smaller the sections will belarger or smaller, and the friction exerted on the walls of the bale-chamber when they are contracted and forced into such chamber by the succeeding sections will be proportionally greater or less and the resulting bale more compact or lighter.
In the old presses, to make compact or light bales, it was in most cases necessary to decrease or enlarge the area of the discharge end of the bale-chamber, to exert more or less friction on the bales.
In the present invention the same result is accomplished with greater ease by adjusting the size of the passage between the press-box and the bale-chamberor, in other words, by regulating the size of the section or charge of material substantially in the manner described.
The operation is as follows: Supposing the press to be charged with pressed material, a section of loose material is forced by the reciprocatin g traverser pastthe retaining-shoulders 1 into the adjustable passage, the press ure expanding the section to the full size of said passage. Another charge of loose materialis in like manner forced past the retaining-shoulders, thus causing the previouslypressed sections to be driven along in the adjustable passage and to be gradually contracted to the size of the bale-chamber, thus increasing the friction of that particular section, and also the friction through the entire chamber.
Ifit is desired to increase the solidity of the bales, the forming-plates are adjusted wider apart, or, if to lighten the, bale, nearer together.
, A vertical frame is arranged on the front end of the press-box, and consists of uprights J and cross-pieces L. From the top of this.
frame extends a horizontal beam or timber, M, the forward end of which is provided with a vertical hub 0r bearing, N, that is supported upon a collar, 0, of a crank-shaft, O. The lower end of the crank-shaft is stepped in an axle, P, which carries a pair of wheels, I? P. These wheels, in connection with one or more other pairs, Q, on the body of the press, constitute the transporting-wheels of the machine.
The crank-shaft is provided with two cranks, one, T, at its lower end, the wrist of which is adapted to engage with the axle P when the latter is rotated, as will be presently described, and the other, T, at the upper end of said shaft, above the horizontal beam M, as shown.
The crank Tis connected by a pitman, U, to a vibratory lever or sway-bar, V, fnlcrumed to the vertical frame on the press-box at r, as shown in Fig. 1. The lower end of the lever V is connected to the gear of the traverser 13 either directly or by means of an articulated link.
To operate the press the horses are attached to the outer ends of a lever or sweep, R, secured to the front axle, P, and made to travel in a circle around the crank-shaft and under the horizontal beam M.
The movement of the sweep causes the axle P to be carried around on its supporting- Wheels and the crank-shaft to be rotated by reason of the axle coming in contact with the lower crank, T. The motion of the crank-shaft is in turn imparted to the pitman and the vibratory lever, and the traverser caused to reciprocate back and forth in the press-box. The length of the stroke of the traverser can be varied by changing the pivotal point of the vibratory lever or lengthening or shortening the pitman. 1t will be observed that by arranging the connections between the power and the traverser over the path or circle traveled by the horses the power can be brought nearer the body of the press, and economy of space thus secured, while the horses are not in danger of coming in contact with and being injured'by such connections, and do not have to travel over bridges, 850., as heretofore.
When the machine isbeing moved from place to place the sweep or horse-lever is turned in toward the body of the press, and connected by a bolt, 1), to a bar, S, secured to the body of the press. The front axle is thus braced and undue strain on the vertical crank-shaft prevented. The bar S is adapted to be swung to one side out of the way during the pressing operations.
Fig. 4 shows a modification of the power arrangement. The simple crank (shown in Fig. 1 on the upper end of the crank-shaft) is here removed and .two gear-wheels, X X, substituted in its stead, one of said gears being fixed IIO to said crank-shaft, and the other mounted loosely on a stud on the beam M, and carryin g a crank, to which the pitman is connected. The sway-bar in this figure is also differently arranged from that shown in Fig. 1, it being fnlcrumed at its upper end and braced by a rod, r, and operated by apitman connected at or near its middle.
Fig. 5 shows still another modification, in which the frame-work is further strengthened by connecting planks Y, one on each side of the press, as shown. form the sides of a hopper, from which the loose material is fed to the press-box, and at the other end said planks inclose the pitman and crank or gears for operating the same.
In both modifications the power-connections are arranged over the path traveled by the horses, as will be apparent from inspection.
With respect to the arrangement of front axle, crank, or power-shaft, and rotating sweep or horse-lever, I do not make any broad claims herein, butconfine myself to the particular construction employed, having made such features, broadly, the subjects of claims in another application filed by me on the 21st day of July, 1879.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new- 1. The combination of a press-box, a balechamber, and a reciprocating traverser, and means for increasing or diminishing at will These planks at one end the area of the passage between the press-box and the bale-chamber, whereby to render the sections or charges of material larger or smaller and produce bales of greater or less density, substantially as described.
2. The adjustable forming plates or blocks G, having inclined faces, and arranged in the passage between the press-box and the baleohamber, substantially as described, for the purpose specified.
.3. The combination of the adjustable forming-plates and means for adjusting the inner end of the bale-chamber to conform to the extreme adjustments of said forming-plates, substantially as described. s
a. The vertical crank-shaft having the upper and lower cranks, and operated by means of the front axle and horse-lever or sweep, in combination with the elevated pitman, the vibratory lever or sway-bar, and the traverser, substantially as described.
5. The bar S, pivoted to the body of the to one side out of the way during the pressing operations, substantially as described.
