-BALlNG-PRESS.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,566, dated December 26, 1882.

Application filed May 14,1880. (No model.)

To all whom t't may concern Be it known that 1, PETER K. DEDERIOK, of Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York,-have invented certain new and useful Improvements in BaIingPresses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a press embodying my invention. Fig. 2- is a frontelevation of one of the movable partitions. Fig. 3 is a view of the mechanism for shipping the feeder. Fig. 4 represents one of the movable sections composing the side of the balechamber. Figs. 5, 6, and 7 are respectively sectional, cross-sectional, end, and longitudi- 'uresdenote the same parts.

This invention relates to improvements in that class of bailing-presses covered by Letters Patent granted me October 29, 1572, Nos. 132,566 and 132,639, and by various patents granted to me since that date.

It con sistsin the several improvements which will be hereinalter described and claimed. 7

Referring tothe drawings, A, Fig. '1, represents the press-box of the press; B, the halochamber; G, the reciprocating traverser; E, the hopper; F, the pitman, and G the-crankwheel by which motion is imparted to the pitnian to reciprocate the traverser back and forth.

H represents the feeder, mounted upon the rock-lever H in the usual manner, constructed of a size to fill the feed-orifice when depressed to its lowest position, and K is a spring secured to the inner lining of one wall of the feed-hopper and operating,when thefeederis depressed, to spring out and engage with a shoulder, N, on the feeder and lock the latter in position. Connected to the lower end of this spring is a rod, in, which passes through the wall of the hopper and is articulated to the lower end of. the lever L, pivoted at 1, outside of the hopper,

. a binding of the parts.

crates, when the traverser is near the limit of its forward movement, to strike the upper end of the lever L, and thus retract the spring K, release the feeder H, and allow said feeder to rise by the action of the counterbalancingweight 0 on the outer end of the rock-lever H and permit the hopper to be filled with loose material. By causing the feeder H to descend and fill the feed-opening and remain in that position while the traverser is moving forward the traverser is enabled to force the charge of material into the bale-chamber with greater facility than if the feed-opening were not so closed and portions of the material were allowed to project up into the t'eedopening, as ordinarily.

Instead of the described devices for holding the feeder locked, any other suitable devices that will perform thefunction may be employed.

The condenser P is caused to move back and forth in the feed-hopper by means of a connecting-bar, N secured to the upper end of the staff N of the traverser in the well-known manner; but inasmuch as said condenser must be moving slowly forward toward the feedopen-ing while the feeder H is descending, I preferably provide the condenser with a concave face, so as to prevent by any possibility passes through a slidebar, R, near its outer end, and the latter plays up and down through guides It, as shown. As the crank of the crank-wheel G moves up the end of the pitman F strikes the lower end of the barR and raises the latter, and with it the outer end .of the rock-lever H, thereby causing the descent of the feeder. Ordinarily each revolution of the crank-wheel will cause the feeder to descend once; but in order that the rod It may be swung outward, so that the pitman will not strike it when for any reason that is deemed necessary, I provide a rod,W, guided at X, and having at its outer end a band, U, which loosely encircles the rod It, and connected at its other end, at Z, to a lever, Y, pivoted near the hopper, as shown in Fig. 1. When the lever Y is moved in one direction and engaged with a locking-notch, 1, the rod R will be held in the path of the end of the pitman I; but when said lever is moved in the opposite direction and engaged with the other notch 1 the bar R will be swung out of the path of the The .rock'lever H ICO end of the pitman, as shown in the dotted lines, Fig. 1. In order to give the bar It the requisite lateral play, the cross-timber S is slotted, as shown. The sides of the press-box at the end of the slots in the bale-chamber are provided with projections 3, and the traverser has recesses D to engage with the projections 3, as shown. The partition-followers for separating the bales are each provided with recesses 4, as shown in Fig. 2,to engage with the projections 3 and allow the partitions to pass the press- "box, and also to hold the said partitions in an upright position. I construct the ribs or sides of the press between the tie-slots, Fig. 4, so as to hinge them nextthepress-box by a pin passing through the hole 6 and through timbers and projections on the sides of the press-box near the point 3. The advantage of thus hinging the sides is of more importance in an iron press than in a wooden press, for in adjusting to secure friction the wood willspring, while iron would break if not hinged. I line the inside of said chamber on two or all sides with movable endless belts of leather, rubber,

cloth, or other suitable material. Said endless belts pass along the inner surface of the chamber,outat thedischargingeud ot't'hebale-chain her, and along betwecnflanges on the outside of the chamber to and through the openings 16, Fig. 7, at thejunction ofthe press-box and balechamber, into the inside of the bale-chamber. hen the belting is used on the sides several belts areused, in order to leave openings for the tying-slots, each beltbeing kept in place by flanges, as shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6. The Object of this lining is to produce increased friction, and is essential in pressing cotton very hard. Instead of a movable-belt lining, the leather or other material may be fastened in any suitable manner to the inner surfaces of the bale-chamber, as shown in Fig. 5. or both a fixed friction-lining and a movable friction-lining might be used, thus greatly increassin g the friction.

A modification of my invention is shown in Fig. l at 7, 8, and 9, where the bale-chamber is provided with a series of corrugations or shoulders on two or all sides. Said corrugations may be out into the sides of the chamber,

as at 9, Fig. or may be formed by inserting V pieces or sections, as at 7 and 8, Fig. 1. The bale-chamber is provided with an adjustable head, and is provided with two hooks, one at the top and bottom, or one on each side, as shown at 10, Fig. 1, and hinged at 11, each hook being of sufficient length and width to cover the end of the chamber, and when in use being retained in position by a yoke hinged to one hook at 12. Fig. 1, and yoking over the other book, as shown in said figure.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claima y 1. The combination, with the press-box, of the feeder and the locking devices for auto matically locking the feeder when depressed. substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the press-box, of the feeder, the devices for automatically locking the feeder when depressed, and the projection on the traverser for unlocking the looking devices and releasing the feeder, substantially as described.

3. The combination of the rod with the slide-bar It, for the purpose set forth.

4. The clamps or hooks 10 and yoke 12, in combination with the chamber of a balingpress, for the purpose set forth.

5. The sides of the bale-chamber between the tie-slots hinged to the press-box, as set forth.

6. In a baling-press in which the material is forced in sections within a bale-chamber and built up into a bale therein by a reciprocating traverseigthe said bale-chamber, having its lining composed in whole or in part of movable belts, substantially as described.
