BALING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 457,636, dated August 11, 1891.

Application filed August 14,1886. -Renewed .Tune 6,1891. Serial No. 395.289. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER K. DEDERICK, of Loudonville, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Baling- Presses; 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 specication, and to the letters of' reference marked thereon.

Thisinvention relates to that class of presses bales formed of transverse sections or layers that are themselves composed of a'series of smaller transverse sections or charges. In

this kind itis necessary that some meansbe provided for supporting centrally the column of pressed material as it is formedin the balechamber, in order to prevent it from bulging or expanding back on the retreat of the traversers which force the charges of material into the said bale-chamber. One form of press for making these bales is shown in another application iiled by me on or'about the 14th day of August, 1886, Serial No. 210,903, and consists, essentially, of a press-box, a bale-chamber, and two traversers operating within the press-box and serving alternately to force a charge of material from the press-box into the bale-chamber and support said charge and the column of pressed material in front of it until relieved of this duty by the other traverser, and so on during the formation of the column. Another form of press is shown in another application led by me on the 30th day of March, 1886, Serial No. 197,179, embodying a divided or two-part press-box, two traversers, one for each compartment of the press-box, and a common bale-chamber, in

each compartment of the press-box are co1npaoted together. In this last-mentioned press the traversers are not relied upon to centrally support the pressed column, but that duty is performed by the end of the wall or partition which divides the press-box longitudinally into its two parts.

the requisite central support to the column of pressed material; and to this end it consists, primarily, in providing the press with a partition extending through the press-box as Well as through or partly through the balechamber, and slotted in the bale-chamber, so as to permit of the passage of the bindingties, whereby suicient internal resistance is secured within the bale-chamber to prevent back expansion.

It further consists in corrugating or notching the sides of the saidl partition, so as to increase the friction on the pressed column; and it consists, finally, in certain novel combinations of parts, which will be hereinafterV fully described, and pointed out in the claims at the end of this specification. A'

Referring to the accompanying drawings,

Figure l represents a sectional elevation' of a press-box and bale-chamber constructed' in 1 -4 accordance with my present invention; Fig.

ted in the bale-chamber, as at c, opposite the slots i) in the side walls of the latter for the purpose of permitting of the application of the tying-bands.

VD D are two traversers working in the press-box on opposite sides of the partition C. These traversers are intended to be reciprocated by any well-known or suitable form of power contrivance and to be given either simultaneous or alternate movements, as preferred.

E are the usual retainers arranged at the entrance to the bale-chamber.

The operation of the press is as follows: Charges of hay or other material to be baled arefed into the feed opening or hopper of Now it is the object of my present invention to provide still another way of securing roo are bythe. latter forced into the bale-chamber past the retainers, where, by reason of the frictional resistance offered by the walls of the partition C, they are supported on the inner edges as eectually as upon their outer edges and are prevented from bulging back when the pressure of the traversers is removed. lVhen a suficientnumber of charges has been forced into the bale-chamber to form a bale, the column of pressed material is tied off, the ties being passed through the slots in the side walls of the press and in the partition in the usual manner. The tied bales are ejected through the end of the press by the forming-bale, as ordinarily. The frictional resistance of the partition is greatly increased by corrugating it, as shown in Fig. 2, or by notching it, as shown in Fig. 3, and for the baling of straw or other like materials I prefer that either one or the other of these forms of partitions be adopted; but for the bali'ng ordinary hay a plain partition answers well.

It is not essential that the partition should extend from top to bottom of the press, as shown in Fig. 1, as comparatively narrow friction ribs or projections such as shown in Fig. 4 placed at top and bottom will answer. Nor is it essential that the partition, of whatever form, should extend entirely through thebalechamber to the discharge end, as it may terminate short of said discharge end, it only being necessary that enough of the partition shall extend into the bale-chamber to give the f desired central support.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new isoperation of the traversers is centrally supported by frictional contact with the partition and the ties are enabled to be applied to both parts of said column, so as to divide the column transversely into bales, substantially as described.

2. In a baling-press, the combination, with a press-box and bale-chamber, of a partition having uneven surfaces extendingthrough the press-box and into the bale-chamber and slotted to permit the passage of the ties around both parts of the column of pressed material, and two traversers operating on opposite sides of said partition, substantially as described.

3. In a baling-press, the combination, with a press-box and bale-chamber, of a corrugated partition extending through both press-box and bale-chamber and slotted to permit the vpassage of the ties around both parts of the column of pressed material, and twotraversers operating on opposite sides of' said partition, substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.
