FEEDER FOR COTTON-PRE SSES.
ESPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,627, dated March 10, 1885.
Application filed August .19, 1884. (No model.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HENRY S LZ, of Pilot Point, in the county of Denton and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Feeders for Cotton-Presses, of which the following is a full, clear, and. exact description.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure 1 is asectional side elevation of my improvement shown as applied to a cottonpress. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the cylinder enlarged.
The object of this invention is to facilitate the baling of ginned cotton.
The invention consists in a feeder for cotton-presses, constructed with a receiving-box and a feed-box separated by a sliding plate attached to a follower secured to the piston rod of a steam-cylinder, to adapt the said feeder to be interposed between a cotton'gin and a bal'ing-press. The inlet and outlet valves of the steam-cylinder are connected by two pairs of connecting-rods with two levers, so that the movements of the piston can be readily controlled, as will be hereinafter fully described.
A represents the floor of a gin-house, beneath which is placed a steamcylinder, B. The steam-cylinder B is provided with a steaminlet port, 0, at each end, having avalve, D, and an exhaust-port, E, having a valve, F. The inlet-port at each end and the outlet-port at the other end are connected, respectively, by rods G H, with a lever, I, so that as the inlet-valve D at either end of the cylinder B is. opened or closed the exhaustwalve Fat the other end of the cylinder will be opened or closed.
serves as a cover for the feed-box N, and also as a bottom to the receiving-box Q, so that the said plate P will bedrawn back to open the feed-box N by the rearward movement of the said follower M, and will be moved forward or closed by the forward 'movementof the said follower. The plate I is supported while moving forwardand back and made to move easily by roller'sZ, pivoted to brackets attached to the floor A of the gin-house. this construction cotton will be admitted into the feed-box N in front of the follower M,and will be fed into the press R by the forward movement of the said follower, and will be prevented from entering the feed-boxNin the rear of the follower M, so that the feeder will not become clogged.
S is the gin-chute, which is connected. with the upper rear part of the receiving-box Q, so that the cotton will be discharged from the gin into the said receiving box. The forward side of the box Q. is inclined, as shown in Fig. 1,to guide the cotton to the forward part of the feedhox N, and at the lower edge of the said forward side is placed a roller,T, to facilitate the passage of the cotton into the press R as from the driving mechanism of the press, and
is intended to withdraw and carry off any dust that may enter the receivingbox Q with the cotton. The lower end of the flue U is covered with a perforated sheet-metal plate, W.'.to prevent the cotton from enteringthe said flue, while allowing air and dust to escape.
In using the feeder, when the press-follower X is drawn back, the lever I is operated to open the forward inlet-valve and the rear eX- haust-valve and allow the steam to drive the piston J back to the rear end of the cylinder B and withdraw the follower M to the rear end of the feed-box N, when the cotton in the receiving-box Q will fly into the feed-box N. The lever I is then operated to close the forward inlet-valve and the rear exhaust-valve, and the other lever I is operated to open the rear inlet valve and the forward exhaustvalve, and allow the steam to force the piston J and the follower M forward, forcing the cotton inthe feed-box N into the baling-box of the press R. The piston J and follower M are held forward by steam-pressure until the press-follower X has-advanced and forced the cotton forward in the baling-box and has returned to its former position, when the levers I are again operated and the piston J and follower M are drawn back to again admit cotton to the feed-boxN, and so on, until enough cotton for abale has been forced into the balingbox.
The cotton in the baling-box is kept from following thefollower in its return movenientby notches Y, formed in the edges of the planks forming the casing of the said baling-box.
If desired, the follower M can be used for compressing the cotton in the baling-box R, in which case the follower X will not be required,and thesaid baling-boxR can be placed in line with the feed-box N.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and'desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A feeder for cotton-presses, constructed substantially as herein shown and described,
and consisting of a receiving-boxand a feedbox separated by a plate attached to a follower secured to the piston-rod of a steam-cylinder, to adapt the said feeder to be interposed .between a'cotton-gin and a baling-press and feed the cotton into the said press, as set forth.
2., The combination, with the chute S of a cotton-gin, the ba1ing-boX of apress, R, and the piston-rod K of a steam-cylinder, of the receiving-box Q, the feed-box N, the follower M, and the sliding plate P, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the cotton from the gin will be fed into the said box, as set forth.
3. In a feeder for cotton-presses, the combination, with theinlet and exhaust' valves of a steam-cylinder, of thetwopairs ofconnecting-rodsG H and the two levers I, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the movements of the piston can be readily conv trolled, as set forth. o
