Patented Sept. 21, 1943 PAPER, BALER Thomas E. Wykes, Grand Rapids, Mich.
Application particularly adapted for'compressingand pack- .ing waste paper in aspecial cartontherefor .to greatly reduce the space which the paper when free occupies, the carton being closed and sealed after the paper has been compressed and when the carton is full, thereby greatly facilitating the collection and handling of waste paper, par- "-ticularlyin households. i
. U Itis' a primary object and purpose of the present invention to produce a device of the chara'cterindicated which can be manufactured and 'sold-at low cost, which is readily operateduby practically everyone, and which is: of a novel "construction and is novel in its operation in con- "nection with an especially constructed .carton -usable therewith for the attainmenthof simple, '{rapidand effective compressing .of waste paper intosmall compass, and carton enclosing and 'sealing it in its compressed state for easy and -efiective handling and delivery. l a An understanding of the invention and of a novel preferred construction embodying the the paper baling Fig. 4 is a vertical section at right angles to theplane of the-section shown in Fig. 3,. taken substantially on' the plane of line 4-4 of Fig. 1.-
Like reference characters refer to like Parts in the different figures of the drawings and the section views are taken looking in the .direc tion indicated by the arrows. I
The baler includes an open frame structure in which the special carton used therewith is releasably held and supported. The back of the frame is made of a plurality of spaced apart bars l rectangular in cross section permanently connected with similar vertical tie bars 2 attheir outersides. This back of the baler is adapted to be rigidly secured at the front side of a vertical post 3' resting upon the floor of a room or basemerit for example, above which the post extends.
"The post is located substantially midway be-' tween the ends of the bars I and between the two vertical tie bars 2. Above the upper bar I of the back of the baler construction a block 4, the width of which may be equal to the width "of the post and the thickness of which preferably This invention relates to a packager or'baler February 18, 1942, Serial .No. 4 1. 59; l f G'Claims. (01; 10 19) p will approximate the bars I, is permanently: sef 1 cured as shown. k The ends of 'the baler likewise :c'omprise open members consisting of spaced apart horizontal *bars-Qsimilar to the-bars I, connected to an'outside ve'rtical tie bar 6.1 The rear 'ends of the bars come adjacent the outenends of Jtheba'rs 'I and either all 'or only 'a part ofithe adjacent 'bars 5 and I are"hingedly-connected together vided by connectingfltwo of 1 the bars I and 5 --'connect. 1
together as shown in-Fig."3.-- Likewise part of the bars 5 at one end of thebalerf at their front ends are equipped with hooks'll; l
The front of the baler consists of t o tag tical tie bars 9 at the outside to which'afplural? ity-of horizontal bars liL one'less than-the number of bars I- and '5, are permanently connected.
At one end part of the bars ID, two .as shown, I are hinged by hinges 1' to the front end of two of the bars ,5 at one end of-the baler. Atthe-opposite ends of the bars thus" hinged; eyes II are secured with which 'th'e hooks. 8 may. detachably Instead of an uppermostb'ar like the bars .IO
to which it'is hingedly connected. 7
extending entirely across as the bars '10 dobetie bar 9 is a section bar l2 whichis permanently indicated at I3. .I'n otherwords; the'upper section bars I2- consist of a bar Hl'having acentral portion removed. Such baler maybe. readily vopened. by unho'oking'the hooks. at.8 andmove I in-g 'theend sections laterally and swinging. the
front with. respect to the endmember-ofjthe baler Within this baler a carton made; of'pa'per stock is placed. The carton; has a bottom I4; front and rear vertical sides I5 .andvertical endsgIB which in practice I Willextendtobetween .the, uppermost bars of these front, backandends of the baler and thebars next below .(Fig; 3).
From the ends [8 closing flaps I1,'hin'gedly; connected as by scoring,- maybe positioned vertically as shown in FigiwSz. The. flaps I8 extending from the front andfre'ar'sides l5 are cut away between their ends-providing vertical*"slots.- [9,-
which, at the rear of the carton,'extend to the upper end of therear 'sideIE but at the front extend farther down or approxmatelyto the .thefront of the baler.
carton is nearly filled with compressed paper "may be: turned. on an edge to reduce the height .of the. block 4. to besealed the flaps I1 and [8 are turned; downwardly as far as they-will go: against the paper.
The carton when thus within the baler and with the upper closing flaps extended is in a position to receive paper loosely dropped in the carton. A presser to compress the paper is provided consisting of a head which may take many forms, but as shown consists of an open frame having three spaced apart bars 28 at its lower side. Two bars 2| transverse thereof and over their end portions permanently connect thereto and a trapezoidal member 22 is above and substantially midway between the ends of the bars and permanently secured therewith, the upper side of the member 22 being in a horizontal plane. Such presser head when placed upon the paper and force supplied thereto packs and compresses the paper.
Above the member 22 is a loose block 23 rectangular in cross section, the height of which preferably is greater than the width and l the width greater than the thickness. lever 24 is utilized; its rear end being placed 1111- derneath the lower edge of the. uppermost bar 1| of the back and resting-between its ends, on
the .upper end of the block 23. The free forward end portionyof the handle extends in front ofthe baler ,fonthe'application of weight, the effect of whichqis multiplied bythe longer arm of the weight receiving end of the lever, thereby heavily compressing the: paper. ,It is evident that the leveridpasses downwardly through the slots. E9 andv at its front portion maybe forced downward until stopped by the upper bar ill at The block 23 when the between the part 22 and-the, lever 24 and at a still further stage. placed on its side to still further reduce such height.
.When the cartonis nearly full and a release of :pressure permits the paper to expand up-,
by the flaps I! and [78, the presser. head is elevated; in which case the rear end of the handle lever 26 is inserted underneath the 10W$ .;1 dge When the carton is full and is Then, if. necessary, the presser'head isplaced on heoutside oi. the upper flaps, the bar 24' located over the presser head and with its rear end underneath-the blocked and the closing flaps l1 and. 18 thus forced to horizontal closing position. In this position theymaybe partially sealed by a sealing tape: .in the usual manner through openings in the presser head. The remaining unsealedsor unsecured edge portions of the flaps may be more securely sealed if necessary on-reimoval of the presser head.
The simplicity of the. invention andth'e resultingeconomy in manufacture render this in,- ventionparticularly available at the sources of waste paper, the individual households wherethe saving of waste paperin loose form for the lengths of time between collections and removal thereof is disliked .by many on account of the nuisance and litter attending and because of the: fire hazard accompanying it.
special construction involving the slots lain the A handle upper end closing flaps are vitally essential for the practical use of the invention and the operation of the presser means used to compress the paper.
The invention is defined in the appended claims and is to be considered comprehensive of all forms of structure coming within their scope.
