OIL-PRESS BOJL Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 10, 1906 Application filed March 2, 1908. Serial No. 303,399.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that l, Josnrn H. HUBBELL, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of ()hio, have invented new and useful imrovements in Oil-Press Boxes, of which the ollowing is e. specification.

This invention relates to oil ress boxes.

One of the primary objects 0 the invention is the provision of a box of the character set forth having means for the removal of the rem-block'and mat superimposed thereupon, by virtue of which the mat can he seps;

rated from the ram-block and the ram-block three parts mentioned.

In'the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this s ecifieation I show a simple form of embo 'ment of the invention, which, to enable those skilled in the art to practice said invention, I will fully set forth in the following description, while the novcity of the invention will be included in the claims succeeding said desori tion.

In the-dra s Figure 1 1s a longitudinal. sectional view oi h press-box-i'ncluding my invention.

The press-box shown in the drawings'ineludes in its make-up a supporting-plate, as 2. The plate 2 has on its opposite sides and at the front thereof flanges, eeoh designated by 3, and which suhserve their customary function. In addition to these flanges 3 the plate is provided with the customary pend- .Iliitin'the met or Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the box with a portion of the marginal flange thereof removed. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation' of the same. 4 is s top plan view of one therear edge t ereof slots, as 6, shown as being two in number, although this is not essential. In the slots are fitted lugs, as 7, two, of course, of said lugs being illustrated, the lugs when the ram-block is 1n operative position serving to bear against the bottoms of the respective slots 6 to interlock the rear end of the said ram-block with the supporting or base plate 2. The lu s are not s own as being an integral part 0 the plate 2,-elthough, if reqfuired, the may be. In the present case astenin devices. unite the shanks or bodies of the ugswith the supporting-plate and these fastening devices may consist of screws, belts, or rivets, as may be desired.

The mat which'iits u on the ram-block 5 consists of a perforate and longitudinally and transversel corrugeted plate 8, and to this extent it to lows the construction of cer tain mats at present in use. The rear end of the mat has an interlocking connection with the ram-block, for which purpose the mat is shown as .rovided with hcok-sha ed lugs 9 to enter t e slots 6 in the rear 0 the ramblock. The slots are shown as intersected by; vertical recesses 10, which receive fins 1 l on the respective lugs 7, although this is not essential. The fins 11 may'have a snug fit in the recesses 10, so as to more firmly mainerforated plate 8 against lateral motion. t the front end of the box the iii ait'S and ram-block 5 are held in clamping relation with the supporting-plate, and

iii this purpose I have shown a sm ie clampmember, such as 12, through t e hub or body of which is feeeiy passed a screw, as 13, ta ped into the plste 2. From the inner sid s of the clsmping member 12 there extends a rejection, as 14, which passes through a ole or erforation 15 in the pendent apron 16 at the front end of the met 8. On the inner side of the apron 16 is a lug 1?, fittin an a'erture 17 in the front the of ram lock w on the parts are assembled to ole 15 extends through this lug. From the outer side of the clamping member there is pendent the leg 18, which bears solidly against the up or side of the supportingplate 2 and a so abuts against the front flange 3.

When the parts are in working relation in a press, the lugs 7 on the plate 2 will be disposed in the slots 6 of the ram-block 5, while the lugs 9 on the mat 8 will be also in said. slots, the apron or flange 16 at this time over lying the front face of the ram-block. The projection 14 will be in the hole 15, so that when the screw 13 is tightened up said projection 14 will bear down solidlv upon the apron 16, drawing the same, and hence the mat and ram-block, in solid relation with the plate. In view of the way the ram-block and mat are held in operative position there is no possibility of their being accidentally displaced or moving in any direction. The head of the screw 13 is so shaped as to receive a wrench, so that the screw can be easily turned.

To separate the mat and ram-block from the supporting-plate, the screw 13 is taken from lace to permit the removal of the clamping member 12. The mat or plate 8 is then raised sufficiently to carry the apron or flange 16 clear of the ram-block or grate 5, after which the mat can be easily separated from the ram-block by ushing the same rearward. To remove t e ram block or rate, it is moved forward sufficient to free it rom the lugs 7.

The removal of the mat and the ram-block is one that can be quickly and easily accom plished for any purpose without removing the box from the frame of the ress. The ram-block and mat are detac ably associated with their supporting-plate to secure the result in question; but when in operative relation they are held solidly in position by simple and effective means, involving in the present case a clamping device which is readlly accessible.

What I claim is 1. An oil-press box comprising a supporting-plate, a ram-block on the supportingplate, a mat on the ram-b1ock, the ram-block and mat being detachably associated with the supporting-plate, and means for holding the ram-block and mat in assembled relation with the supporting-plate.

2. An oil-press box involving a supporting- 1 plate, a ram-block interlocked at one end with the su porting-plate, a mat on the ramblock, inter ocked at the same end with the ram-block, and clampin means operative a ainst the o posite end 0 the mat and ramb ock to hold them in solid relation with the supporting-plate.

3. In an 011-press box, a supporting-plate, a

rain-block having an interlocking connecttion at one end with the supporting late, a mat on the ram-block, having an inter ocking connection at the same end with the ramblock, and clamping means directly engaging the mat to clamp the mat and ram-block to the supporting-plate.

4. In an oil-press box, a su )portinglate rovided with lugs, a IHlll-blOGli in whic 1 the ugs are adapted to be fitted, a mat on the ram-block, having lugs to enter the ramblock, the several lugs being located at one end of the mat and ram-block, and means operative against the opposite end of the mat and ram-block to clamp the same to the supporting-plate.

5. In an oil-press box, a supporting-plate having lugs, a ram-block on the supportingplate to receive the lugs, a mat having lugs to enter the ram-block, the several lugs being located at one end of the ram-block and plate, the opposite end of the mat being provided with a depending apron having a hole, and a clamping member connected with the supporting-plate and having a projection to enter the hole to clamp the ram-block and mat to the supporting-plate.

6. In an oil-press box, a su porting-plate having lugs, a ram-block on t 1e supportingplate arranged to receive said lugs at one end thereof, a mat on the ram-block having lugs at the same end to enter the ram-block and provided with a depending apron at the other end having a hole, a clamping member bearing against the supporting-plate and rovided with a projection to enter the hole and a headed screw to extend through the clampiiig member and tapped into the supportingate.

p 7. In an oil-press box, a su porting-plate having lugs, a ram-block on tlie supporting plate arranged to receive said lugs at one end thereof, a mat on the ram-block havin lugs at the same end to enter the ram-bloc and provided with a dependin apron at the other end having on its inner ace a lug and also having a hole, the ram-block being rovided with an aperture to receive said astmentioned lug, a clamping member bearin against the supporting-plate and rovide with a projection to enter the ho e and a headed screw to extend throu hthe clamping member and tapped into t e supportinglate.

p In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
