METHOD OF COMPRESSING AND BALING COTTON-BATTING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 429,640, dated J' une 10, 1890.

Application filed November 21, 1889. Serial No. 331,082. (No model.)

T all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY REMBERT, acitizen of the United States, residing at IVillis,

' in the county of Montgomery and State of rolls 3.

Texas, have invented a new and useful Method of Oompressing and Baling Cotton-Batting, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to a method of compressing and baling cotton-batting.

The invention consists in certainsteps hereinafter described, and particularly referred to in the claims.

Certain features of construction herein illustrated and descri bed-for practicing the method set forth are not herein claimed, as such form the subject-matter of a patent, No. 417,092, granted to me December 10, 1889.

In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated alongitudinal vertical Section of a machine adapted for carrying out my method, and I will now proceed to describe the same in order that a fair understanding of the method as practiced may be had.

1 represent-s a bed, from one end of' which rise opposite standards 2, between which there is journaled a pair of transverse rolls 3. At about the center of the bed there rises a second pair of standards 4, between which is j ournaled a single heavy roll 5, and upon the shaft that carries the roll there is mounted a pulleyT 6. Along the bed 1 and in rear of the standards 2 there is mounted a series of pairs of standards 7, said standards serving to support between each pair thereof small rollers u 8. Upon `the rollers S, and adapted for movement over the same, there is mounted a carriage 9.

In front of the bed 1, upon suitable legs or standards 11, there is Inounted a table 10, the rear end of which isslightly below the adj acent portions of the peripheries of the rolls 3, and upon the table there are mounted opposite pairs of short Vertical standards 12, and between each pair loose rolls 13, the upper portions of' the peripheries of the rolls being about on a line with the upper portions of the periphery of the lower one of the pair of 11 represents two pairs of opposite vertical standards rising from the table 10 at its front end, and between each pair there are loosely-mounted rolls 15.

16 represents a carriage mounted on the loose rolls 13, and connected by a pitman 17 to any suitable operating mechanism adapted to reciprocate the carriage back and forth over the rolls 13 and under the rolls 15.

The operation of my invention is as follows: The cotton-batting is passed between the rolls 15 and the leading end held upon the carriage 16. The machinery being started and the carriage reciprocated folds the batting in alternate directions upon the carriage. The rolls l5 serve to primarily compress the batting upon the carriage, and after a sufficient number of layers' have been piled upon the carriage and uniformly folded said carriage is run down to the rear end of the table, the web severed, and the piled batting passed between the rolls 3, where a still further comj pression takes place. The carriage 9 being in waiting receives the batting, and in this `manner is loaded by a sufficlent number of fifth, subjecting the mass thus formed to a final compression, substantially as specified.

2. The herein-described method of forming bales from cotton-batting, the same consist-4 ing in, first, folding` the cotton in successive layers and slightly compressing the same at their folds; second, severing the web at intervals into sections; third, subjecting the sections successively and independently to compression; fourth, piling the sections fifth,

subjecting the mass thus formed to final com-44 pression, and, sixth, binding or baling the same while under such compression, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim presence of two witnesses.

` HENRY REMBER'I.
