MACHINE FOR PACKING ICE.
SIPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 466,755, dated January 5, 1892.
Application filed November 29, 1890- Serial No. 373,053. (llo model.)
To a whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, SAMUEL KAYE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yazoo City, in the county of Yazoo and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Packing Ice; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of my invention is to provide a machine for packing ice in bags in a more thorough, economical, and rapid mannerthan has heretofore been accomplished; and with this purpose in view my device consists in the peculiar features and combination of parts more fully described hereinafter, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my complete device, and Fig. 2 a side elevation.
The reference-letter a represents a chute for introducing sawdust into a bag. This chute is provided at the top and bottom with flanges b, having openings 0 at the four corners, through which pass vertical tamping or packing bars cl. These bars are substantially l ..-shaped in cross-section in order to fit about and receive the corners of the cake or block of ice, and they are further provided with ratchet-teeth e, which slope downward and are engaged by pawls f.
The chute a is supported in any suitable manner above a platform g, which is pivoted upon a vibrating bar It through the medium of a Vertical rod 2'. The platform is held to move in a vertical line by guide-rods j, which pass through openings in stationary brackets is. The vibrating bar It is pivoted or fulcrumed in a hanger Z and has upon its short arm a counterbalancing weight m, made adjustable upon the bar by a series of holes 71; and the means for actuating this bar consists of a vertical rod 0, mounted in boxes 0 and having upon its upper end a trolley 19, which rides over a cam g on a shaft q, driven by a suitable power. The trolley can be thrown in and out of action by a hand-lever 4", which is held by dropping it into recesses r. The
bag is held upon the platform by four vertical or upright rods 5, attached to the four corners of the platform, and these rods have hooked ends 8 upon their upper extremities. Strings s are attached to these ends, and swinging hooks t are attached to the strings for the purpose which will presently be explained. Each hooked end 3 is provided with a spring 15', beneath which the ends of the cords are to be drawn and fastened. The platform g is provided with a hollow g, within which the bag is seated.
The preferred construction having been set forth, I will now proceed to describe its operation. The bottom of the sack which is to re 'ceive the ice is first covered a suitable depth .with sawdust, and a cake of ice is seated withln the bag and the whole set upon the platform. The top of the bag is now raised up at the corners by hooks and cords, which are wound around the hooked ends of the standards, as in Fig. 2. The pawls f are now relieved and the ends of the tamping-bars allow d to rest upon the sawdust in the bottom of the bag. Sawdust is now introducedinto the mouth of the bag through the chute and onto the ice, and as there is always a suitable space left between the sides of theice and bag the sawdust will fall into it. At this point the platform on which the bag rests is set in vibration by throwing the lever 7" toward the right, thereby shifting the trolley 19 onto the cam q. The vibration of the platform causes the sawdust to settle down around the sides of the ice and under the ends of the bars, and the latter will be made to work up and out of the bag, at the same time thoroughly packing the sawdust around the ice and also leaving the package square and in good shape for shipment. In the downward movement of the platform the pawls will hold the bars up and permit the sawdust to work in under them. Upon shifting the lever r back and stopping the movement of the platform the bag can be released from the holders and suitably fastened, and the pawls will hold the tampingbars in readiness to sack another cake.
It is evident that my device could be varied in many slight ways which might suggest themselves to askillful mechanic. Therefore I do not limit myself to the exact construction sho vn, but consider myself entitled-to all such varlations as come within the spirit and scope of my invention.
5 WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In an ice-packing machine, a vibrating platform and sack-holders, in combination with tamping-bars adapted to enter the sack and to work out of the sawdust by the action of the platform.
2. In an ice-packing machine, a vibrating platform provided With sack-holdin g devices, substantially as described, in combination I; with tamping-bars having paWl-and-ratohet mechanism, whereby the sawdust is packed by the weight of the bars, as and for the purpose described.
3. In an ice-packingmachinc, the combination of a vibrating platform provided with sack-holders, tamping-bars having pawl-andratchet mechanism, guides for said bars, and a counterbalancirig-Weight for the platform, as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
