The front edge of said plate is recessed, as at P', and a pin W, secured to the top of the press, Vrests in said recess. By thisroller mechanism the bale of hayor other materialis given an even resistance as it passes between the rollers and causes the bale to pack even. The stem of the plate (illustrated by letter T2) has a sliding movement through an aperture in said lug T, and a spring V is employed to throw said plate frictionally against the rollers S, while said plate is guided by the pin W. In Fig. l it will be observed that the rollers have pins R about their circumferences, whereby the bale is engaged as it passes between said rollers. As vthe bale is fed forward by the successive strokes of the plunger said bale is prevented from a backward movement by reason of the block or plate T engaging the sense friction-wheels and holding same from a re# verse movement.

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

In combination with the press-box, vertical rollers mounted one on each side of the press,'friction-rollers mounted at the'upper ends of the spindles carrying said rollers, a block having concaved ends engaging said friction-rollers, a lug T on which said block is mounted, and a guide-pin secured to the top of the press and located in a recess in said block, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES KERNS.
