LUCY A. CORNING, OF SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR TO THOMAS J. COBNING, OF SAME PLACE.
BALlNG-PRESS.
' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,303, dated April 19, 1881.
Application filed September 15, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LUCY A. CORNING, of "San J os, county of Santa Clara, State of California, have invented a Quadruple Baling Press; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention relates to certain improvements in that class of machines known as horizontal baling-presses, and it consists :o of a horizontal box having two chambers,each one divided by a movable follower, and two feed-spaces so arranged that each feed-space can be employed to feed alternately on each side of one of the followers.
4 1 In this invention two followers or balingheads are united by bars, which are actuated upon each side of the press by cranks upon the ends of a shaft, so that they are moved back and forward in the press-box simultane- 2o ously, each pressing two bales as they are moved alternately backward and forward. These followers, in their. forward motion, press two bales, and on their backward journey two others. The invention consists, further, in peculiar cranks, which serve to actuate the followers and frame, and also serve as stops at the end of the movement in each direction.
The object of my invention is to make one machine do the work of four single ones with the same motions, and to provide a machine which can be easily operated, of such simple construction that an ordinary blacksmith and carpenter can build it, whereby a saving in 3 5 expense ensues.
Referring to the accompanying drawings for a more complete explanation of my invention, Figure l is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section, and Fig. 3 a hori- 40 zontal section, of the same.
A represents a horizontal box, which may stand upon stationary feet B, or it may be made portable by being mounted upon wheels. This box is divided into four chambers or compartments, C D E F, by the stationary partitions in the center G, the two ends of the box H and J, and the movable baling=heads or followers K K. I
M M are the two feeding throats or spaces,
0 and the entrances to the pressing-chambers, because of the inwardly-projecting pieces H,
which form shoulders at a and b, are narrower in cross-sectionalarea opposite the-said feeding throats or spaces than-the pressing-chambers proper. Within these feeding-spaces are the followers or baling-heads K K, made of iron or whatever substance may be found effective, and operating back and forth in the grooves C C in the top and bottom of the box. These heads or followers are united with the connecting or operating bars R R on the outside top and bottom of the box A. These connecting or operating bars are worked back and forth by the pitman-rods T T, pivoted thereto, as at e e, and pivoted at their other ends atff to the peculiarly-constructed cranks U U, which are secured to the vertical axle V, passing through and journaled in the projecting ends of the box A.
In the middle of the axle V is the socket 00, into which the great lever W fits, and passing through said lever extends a little distance beyond said socket. The'lever is held in the socket by the straining-rods Z Z, secured to the lever, as at g g, and bolted in the sides of the socket at h h.
The cranks U U are made of one piece of iron, turned in so as to form a sort of double crank with a connecting-plate or back at one side, leaving a deep channel between the two parts. The connecting-rods are united to the outer ends of the cranks by crank-pins, and when turned away from the press-box the connecting-rods or pitmen lie in the channels of said cranks, resting against their backs, and as the crank will thus stand a little beyond the line of center the strain upon the pitmen will not be communicated directly to the operatinglever W.
- Each of the chambers C D E F is provided with two doors, r 0*, one on each side, so that they-can be reached from the front or rear and the bales rolled out. These doors are secured, when shut, by the triple bolts t, forced into the staples k by the lever l.
I will now describe the mannerin which my quadruple baling-press operates.
The doors of the chambers are closed and bolted. The great lever W stands at or near right angles to the box; the feeding spaces M M are open; the followers K K stand at the utmost limit of their operating-spaces and ing the strain more extensively.
at one side of the feed-openings. I feed the hay to two of the chambers through the feeding-spaces, and when enough is in Iapply the power to the great leverW, moving it through its are of revolution, turning the axles V and the cranks U U, drawing forward the connect ing-rods T T and operating-bars R R, and moving the followers K K forward in their grooves until they press the hay into the two chambers toward which the followers are moving. Through the feed-spaces I then feed the other two chambers, and by turning the great lever back the followers return and press upon the hay in the remaining chambers. This operation is continued until the chambers are all filled and I have four bales pressed. The shoulders to and b of the imvardly-projecting pieces H serve to keep the bale from springing back when the pressure of the follower is removed, because the hay, when once pressed through the narrow entrances to the pressingchambers, opens out and fills the wider portions of the chambers and finds resistance in the shoulders when the pressure is removed. Opening the doors, I pass the cords around the bales, in the ordinary manner, through grooves formed in the dividing-partitions and tie them. The bales are then rolled out to the front or rear. The peculiar cranks U U act to limit the arc of revolution of the great lever, and are so placed as to allow it to complete a little more than a semicircle, which relieves the backward spring and the consequent necessity of power to hold it in position.
By the construction of the socket m in the axle V the lever passes through far enough to make the stron gest'possible joint bydistribut- By means of the two followers united by the bars outside the press-box, and the double actuatin g-cranks and pitmen, I am enabled to form four bales, and with considerable economy of time and power.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination, with the press-box A, having fourpressing-chambers, two at the ends and two at the center, said box being of less dimension in cross-section opposite the feedspaces than in the press-chambers, of followers K K, the external operating plates or bars R R, the cranks U U, pitmen T T, shaft V, and lever W, substantially as herein described.
2. The actuating-cranks consisting of the top and bottom plates united at one side by the back, as shown, and secured to opposite ends of the operating-shaft V, in combination with said shaft, the pitmen T T, the followers K K, and the uniting-bars It R, substantially as herein described.
3. In ahorizontal baling-press having two chambers wherein the material is compressed by the action of a single reciprocating follower, the single feed space or opening, so placed that the follower crosses it in its movement, whereby the material may be introduced alternately at each side of the follower and two bales be formed from the material introduced through said single feed space or opening, substantially as herein set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
LUCY A. GORNING.
