' Specification of Letters Patent. I Application filed March 30, 1906. $erial No. 308,987.

Patented Dec. 25, 1906.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN F. WINcH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Marion, in the county of Marion and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Baling-Presses, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to baling-presses of the horizontal reciprocating plunger type, and has for its object the provision of a gear by which an increased compression is exerted proportioned to the power employed. I accomplish this result by the structure described in detail hereinafter and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view showing the plunger at the extremity of its compressing stroke; Fig. 2, a similar view, partly in section, showing the plunger withdrawn and the parts in position for a compressing stroke of the plunger; Fig.3, a top plan view, and Fig. 4 an end view.

In the drawings similar reference charac ters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The frame ,1 of my improved hay-press may be supported on any suitable base or, if

desired, mounted on-wheels for ready transportation, this structure, however, not being original with me. The plunger-2 is slidably mounted in frame 1 and has a beam 3, pivotally secured thereto by means of pin 3 and rovided with two

notches

4 and 4 in its ower side, the end of beam 3 secured to the plunger, being bifurcated, as shown at 5.

The driving-gear consists of a shaft 6, j ournaled on the top of frame 1 and driven by any suitable power, the belt-pulley 7 being shown for the purpose of illustration only. A gear-pinion 8 is keyed to shaft 6 and meshes with the gear-faces on the peripheries of the two

wheels

9 and 9 journaled on the lower art of frame 1, as shown at 10. The two

w eels

9 and 9 are spaced apart, as shown, so as to receive the beam 3 therebetween. Pins 11 and 11 are secured to the and 4 in beam 3 when the

Wheels

9 and 9 1 two

wheels

9 and 9 and engage notches 4 pivotally secured to lever 12 intermediate of rod 13 and beam 3, and its free end is slid'a'bly mounted on guide 17, the top of beam 16 being provided with a shoulder 18 to engage pin 11 and return the plunger 2 to its initial position after each compressing stroke.

It will be understood from thisdescription of the construction of the operating means thatby having the two pins 11 and 11 to engage the

notches

4 and 4 in beam 3 a nearly uniform compressing stroke of the plunger is secured, and the plunger is carried the same distance as it would be if the end of the beam should be secured near the periphery of the drive-

wheels

9 and 9 at a less expenditure of power, because the drivin force is closer to the center of the drive-whee s.

19 represents a lever fulcrumed on the top of frame 1, and 20 an arm secured to the upper end thereof, said lever being actuated by means of a link pivotally secured to pin 3*,- resting between the bifurcated end of beam 3 and secured to the lower end of lever 19. It will be understood that when the plunger 2 is in a compressing position the upper end of lever 19 and arm 20 are raised to permit feeding of material to be baled thereunder, while when the plunger is returned to be ready for tract the plunger, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a baling-press, a reciprocating plunger, a beam secured to said plunger and having notches therein, wheels suitably j ournaled and actuated, pins secured to said. wheels and adapted to engage the notches in the beam to actuate said plunger to compress a bale, a lever suitably fulcrumed and secured to said beam, a second beam secured to said lever, and a shoulder on the top of the beam to be engaged by said pins, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a baling-press, a reci rocating plunger, a beam secured to said pl hnger and having notches therein, Wheels suitably journaled and actuated, pins secured to said Wheels and adapted to successively engage the notches in the beam to actuate the plunger, a slotted lever suitably fulcrumed, the beam and lever connected together through the slot in the lever, a second. beam pivotally secured to said lever and slidably mounted, and a shoulder on the second beam to engage one of the pins on the Wheels aforesaid to retract the plunger, substantially as shown and described.

4. In a baling-press, a frame, a reciprocating plunger in said frame, a beam secured to said plunger and having notches therein, Wheels suitably journaled on said frame, pins secured to said Wheels and adapted to engage the notches in the beam to actuate said plunger to compress a bale, a lever fulcrumed at the base of said frame and secured to said beam, a second beam secured to said lever, a shoulder on the top of said beam to be engaged' by said pins, a lever fulcrumed on said frame, an arm secured to one end of said lever, and alink secured to the other end of the lever and to said plunger, substantially as shown and described.

5. In a baling-press, a frame, a reciprocating plunger in said frame, a beam having one end bifurcated and secured to said plunger, said beam having notches therein, wheels suitably ournaled in said frame, pins secured to said wheels and adapted to engage the notches in the beam to actuate said plunger, a lever fulcrumed at the base of the frame and having its free end slotted and secured through the slot between the bifurcated ends of the beam, a second beam pivotally secured to said lever and slidably mount-ed between said wheels, a shoulder on the upper side of said beam to be engaged by one of the pins on the wheels, another lever fulcrumed on top of said frame, an arm secured to one end. of said lever, and a link pivotally secured to said plunger between the bifurcated ends of the first-named beam, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I hereto aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
