BALINGPRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 403,662, dated May 21, 1889.

Application led October 11, 1888. Serial No. 287,788. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, LEIGH H. HALLAM, of Belton, in the county of Bell and State of Texas, have invented a new and Improv-ed Baling-Press, of which the following is a full,

clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to baling-presses, and has for its object to provide a press of this character by means of which a direct stroke io will be given to the plunger, the latter permitted to rebound by the recoil of the hay, and the hay properly held in position.

The invention consists in a baling-press constructed and arranged as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,

in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view, in vertical longitudinal section, of a portion of the press on the line Fig. 1. Fig. 3is averticaltransverse section on the line y y, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail of one of the dogs detached. Fig. 5 is an enlarged plan view of the mechanism for applying power; and Fig. 6 is a vertical section on the line-'212, Fig. 5.

In carrying out this invention a rectangular open frame, 1, is provided, in which is mounted a sliding frame, 2, and a Vert-ical rotary shaft, 3, having secured to its square portion 4 an arln 5, provided with an anti-friction roller, 6, at its end and an anti-friction roller, 63, on its side. The arm 5is braced by means of a cross-piece, 5, mounted on the square portion 4 and braced by diagonal rods 6, connecting it with arm 5. A brace-rod, 62, extends from the arm 5 to the shaft 3. Near the upper end of shaft 3 is rigidly secured an arm, 7, and above the arm the sweep 9 is loosely mounted on the said shaft. To the rear end of the sweep 9 the cross-bar 8 is secured, and from the ends of the cross-bar diagonal braces 11 extend to the sweep.

Upon the swinging end of arm 7 is a lug or block, 12, bolted thereto or cast integral therewith, against which the sweep 9 is brought to bear when swung in one direction, and causes 5o the arm 7 to be moved, therebyrotat-ing shaft 3. The sweep 9 is connected by a wire, 10', with a ring, 11', loosely mounted on the top sides ofthe frame l and passing above the sides of the frame 2. The frame 2 is connected by a bar, 14, with a plunger, 15, mounted in an oblong casing, 16, in which the bale is pressed. The casing 16 is connected by rods or bars 17 with frame 1 and is formed with the top opening, 18, through which the material to be pressed is inserted, and with the yielding top strip, 19, secured at one end to the cross-bar 2O of casing 16.

By means of the top strip, 19, the pressed material is held under tension, the tension being regulated by a screw-rod, 21, mounted in cross-piece 22 at the end of casing 16, and formed with a square head, 23, at its outer end and a ball, 24, at its inner end, located between the strip 19 and the inclined surface 25 of a cross-strip, 26. By having the screwrod 21'arranged in an inclined position ap; proachin g the horizontal less strain is brought to bear on its threads in the operation of the press.

i In slots 27 in the sides of casing 16, extending below the top opening, 18, are centrallypivoted dogs 28, having their forward ends, 29, normally held within the casing 16 by springs 30 bearing against their ends 31. The sides of plunger 15 are provided with grooves 28 which permit the dogs to be thrown into position by their springs to catch the hay upon the withdrawal of the plunger. The dogs 28 are pressed back by the hay as it passes them in being pushed forward beneath the strip 19. As the plunger recedes, the dogs catch the hay or other pressed material and prevent it from being thrown out of the press.

In the operation of 'the device, if hay or other material is to be pressed it is fed into the casing 16 in front of plunger 15. Upon the horse attached to singletree 10 being driven, the draft on the sweep 9 causes the same to be brought against the block or .lug 12 on arm 7, and through the rotation of shaft IOO ger recedes after the arm 5 passes the center l of bar 13, at which time the rebound of the hay throws back the plunger and frame 2, causing shaft 3 and arm 5 to revolve without any back-throw on the sweep, which is left free. In then continued rotation of the shaft 3 the arm 5 is swung toward the back of frame 1, and if by the reeoil of the eompressed hay the plunger l5, its bar 14, and

. the frame 2 have not been carried entirely back theyare movedby arm L5. As the sweep 9 is loosely mounted on shaft 3 and the .arm
