BALING- PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 515,786, dated March 6, 1894.

Application filed January 10, 1893. $erial No. 457.935. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MOSES C. NIXON, of Omaha, in the county of Douglas and State of Nebraska, have invented certain useful Improvements in Baling-Presses; and I do hereby declare that the following is 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, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention has relation to a new and novel hay press.

The object of this invention is, to provide a hay press that shall be simple of constructron and positive in its operation.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows a side elevation partly in section of a press embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a top view thereof in section. Fig. 3 shows the head plate as closed upon the plunger head. Fig. 4. is an end view of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an end view of the anchor block; Fig. 6 a front view thereof. Fig. 7 is aside view of the toggle arm, while Fig. 8 shows a side elevation of the power arm.

A represents a supporting standard provided with a hopper A.

A isa plunger head which reciprocates within the press, provided with the cars a, a,

bar B. Secured to the plunger head is an angle bar I), provided with an opening through which the rods h pass, and so secures the shdinghead plates 0, one end of which is bent downward and slides upon the top of the plunger, the rod h bending up and being secured to the lower portion of the plate 0. This plate progects upon each side beyond the head as will be understood by referring to Fig. 4, the progecting edges working within slots 0 of the standard A, as may be seen by referring to Fig. 1.

Secured between the cars a. is the bifurcated link 62, between which the plunger bar B is adjustably secured, by means of the bolts e, e, which are secured to the bar B and permitted to slide within a central slot of the link d, so that any desirable adjustment may be obtained. At the remaining end the bar 13 is secured to the bifurcated free end of the serratedjoggle arm D,which is provided upon one side with the teeth 61. This arm is pivotally secured to the anchor block E, which is provided with the ear e which secures the toggle D. This block E is further provided with the bearing 6 and the semi-circular track portion g.

Working upon the bearing portion 9" is the power bar F which is fixed upon the shaft h and is provided with the oval serrated head It adapted to successively engage the serrations of the arm D, the vertical power shaft h and the rolls 1, 2. Above, the shaft 72. is provided with the operating bar It. To give support to the arm D, I provide the supporting roll it which is adapted to work upon the semi-circular track portion g.

The parts having all been properly con-.

structed and arranged, the operation of my device would be as follows: If the parts were positioned as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 for instance, as the operating bar Zcwas turned, the toggle arm would be carried backward by the serrations or teeth upon the head of the power bar F, so as to carry the plunger head backward into its other extreme posit-ion, in the direction indicated by the arrow x in Fig. 2. The roll 2 of the revolving power barF would then collide with the toggle arm D, and so again force it into the position shown in Fig. 2. actuates the plunger twice during each revo- The bar F is continuously revolved and lution. The sliding head plate 0, as the pluninto the press at the rear of the plunger head.

In passing into its rear position, the plunger head would carry the head plate with it so as to clear the hopper opening, the plate doublingupon the head, as shown in Fig. 3.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent, is-

1. In a hay press, the combination with a supporting standard, of a plunger head and bar, a sliding head plate movably secured to the plunger head, adapted to open and close the hopper opening of said press, in combination with suitable operating mechanism, all

substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

bar, an anchor block provided with a projecting ear and a semi-circular track, a serrated toggle arm secured to said plunger bar, and movably held upon said anchor block, a vertical shaft mounted adjoining said toggle arm, and provided with a power bar, said bar having a serrated oval head and two terminal rolls, said serrated head being adapted to engage the serrated toggle arm in carrying said arm in one direction and said rolls engaging said toggle arm in carrying said arm in the opposite direction, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In a hay press, the combination with the standard A, of the plunger head A", the plunger bar B connected to said head, the anchor MOSES C. NIXON.
