Definitions

  • Apparatus for compressing and packing rubbish is formed of an open-ended container with a stationary head in one end and a removable cover member in the other end.
  • the head is displaceable into a retracted position, and after it is replaced in the container, the container is moved relative to the head for compressing the rubbish.
  • a bag is attached to the other end of the container with its end located inwardly of the cover member. When the cover member is removed, the compressed rubbish is removable in the bag.
  • the invention is directed to an apparatus for compressing and packing rubbish and, more particularly, it concerns a container which is movable relative to a stationary compressing head for compressing the rubbish. Further, the invention concerns a removable cover member which can be displaced after compressing operation is completed for removing the compressed rubbish in a bag.
  • a bag or packing sack is arranged within the compressing container to receive the rubbish. After the rubbish is loaded into the bag, it is compressed by a movable head such as in a tamping operation. This tamping operation afiords a more or less compressed mass within the bag. When the pressing operation is completed, the filled sack is removed from the stationary container. One or more walls of the container are openable or removable for removal of the bag containing the compressed rubbish.
  • a circular bottom plate and a number of rubbish sacks are supported by partitions and by an inner jacket of the apparatus.
  • a wall is displaceable from the rear of the apparatus.
  • tobacco is compressed by moving a compression chamber relative to a stationary compressing head.
  • the compression container also acts as the packing container.
  • a predetermined amount of tobacco is fed into the container from a storage container.
  • Still another apparatus which is used in compressing and packing peat.
  • This apparatus consists of a stationary container, a movable compressing head, a separate bottom closure member and a packing sack.
  • the bottom closure acts as a counter-piston and moves independently of the compression force.
  • the bottom of the packing sack is supported on this piston closure.
  • peat is charged into and, at the same time, is packed within the container.
  • a predetermined quantity is taken from a silo or feed hopper and is delivered into the container in a pre-compressed form and then it is compressed further by means of the movable head.
  • the counter-piston with the column of compressed peat supported on it gives way in a downward direction removing the sack from the container. Accordingly, the partially filled sack continues to be filled during its transfer into an auxiliary cylinder or container. After completion of the downward stroke, the auxiliary cylinder is opened by means of removable or pivotable jacket portions and the filled sack is removed.
  • the effective operation of this apparatus depends on its counter-piston which is controlled independently from the compressing operation by a special guiding cylinder located below the compressing cylinder or container. In this arrangement, it is not possible to compress the peat as completely or as densely as is possible in other types of apparatus.
  • Another object of the invention is to utilize a removable closure member for the compressing container, the closure member is displaceable at the completion of the compressing operation for removing the compressed rubbish within the bag.
  • Still another object of the invention is to employ the closure member as a cart for removing the compressed rubbish from the compressing apparatus.
  • a further object of the invention is the attachment of the bag on the exterior of the container so that only its bottom is contacted by the rubbish during the compressing operation.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a retractable stationary head whereby the rubbish can be charged into the container prior to the commencement of the compressing operation when the head is in its retracted position.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a cabinet containing the entire compressing apparatus wherein the stationary compressing head is supported from the ceiling or top of the cabinet.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide efficient and easily operable means for moving the container relative to the stationary head for carrying out the compressing operation.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to afford an apparatus for efficiently effecting the maximum compression of rubbish within a container and then for removing the compressed rub-- bish within a bag in a simple operation.
  • a container is provided with a stationary head in one end and a removable cover member attached to its other end.
  • the container is of a general cylindrical form and is provided with means for movement in the vertical direction.
  • a bag or packing sack is fitted onto it so that the lower end of the sack is positioned between the cover member and the rubbish being charged into the container.
  • the stationary head is retractable from its position in the end of the container. With the head in compressing position, the container is moved relative to the head to compress the materials against the cover member at its other end. After the completion of the compressing operation, the bottom closure is detached and displaced from the bottom end of the container, and as the container is moved in an upward direction, the
  • compacted rubbish is automatically transferred into the bag v level, the rubbish is transferred into the sack attached to the container and removed.
