To an whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, 1nrnn K. DEDERIGK, of the city of Albany, county'of Albany, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ba ling-Presses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description of .the same, refer-' ence being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in whichj 1 Figure 1 is a perspective iew, showing the machine in position for operation. Fig. 2 isa horizontal section of the same, showing the operation of form in g and ejecting the bale. Fig.3 is a' similar View with the end door closed, and showing finished bale. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of. the'finished'bale, and Fig. 5 is aperspectiv'efiew'ofthe end door.

In the figures, A is the hopper. B is the press-box, into which the loose material is re ceived, the traverser meantime forming one of its vertical walls and the previonsly-depos ited section the opposite vertical wall of the press-box. C-is the bale-chamber, into which the material is deposited by the reciprocating traverser. M is a finished bale; .0, a forming bale. E is the reciprocating traverser, which plays or reciprocates through the press-box B, and is slotted in its face to admit of passing the ties in binding the bale. H are retainingshoulders to prevent the hay from extending back with the traverser. K is an end door, provided with slots within the chamber, for

' passing the ties in binding the bale.

The power may be applied in a variety of ways. The bale, when formed in the balechamber 0, is tied or bound through the slots I in the press-box, as shown in Fig. 1, and the slots in the traverser and head, and is removed or forced out of the end of the press at K. h

The distance between end door K K of the press and the traverser E when nearest the. vdoor---or, in other words, the distance between the retainers that preventthe hay from expandin g back and the door 'K-may be greater than the dimensions of the bale-chamber any other way, thus forming the length of the bale in line or toward the traverser or point of filling;

and, as the expansion vis always in the same direction toward the traverscr or power, it will.

be proportionately lessas the ends are smaller than the largesides ofthe bale, thus saving much of the expansion attending the ordinary form of bales when removed from 'thcpress.

If the chamber were'fed from one of the larger sides by the reciprocating traverser, the

- expansive force of the hay'would be so great that it could notwell be retained when the traverser was withdrawn, but would expand back with it; but by feeding the charges or sections from the end or' smaller side the chamber or bale the amount of friction secured againsutheavalls oi" the chamber isso much greater in proportion tothe expanding or inisupportcd. surface-that but little. elseds required to retainer prevent the ,hay from etpanding back when theztrauerser 'is withdrawn." 1

In operation, a quantity of hay or other material to be pressed'is passed through the hopper A and receivedrin to the press-box B, and is then forced into the bale-chamber O by means of the traverser E, which is again withdrawn, its face forming one of the "ertical walls of the press-box B, and the pressed material, or that forced into the chamber, formin g the opposite vertical wall.

The operation is now repeated, and anof the traverser forcing another charge within the chamber, andcondensing the entire mass by just the amount of additional material forced within the bale-chamber beyond the stroke of the traverser, and the bale is thus compressed ,to any required solidity, and completedrby means of additional charges of material forced within the limits of the chamber. The bale may now be tied off and removed or forced out of the end of the press. A similar operation tothat described may then follow.

Additional sections are forced within the chamber against the bale, thus ejecting it-at the opposite end of the chamber as fast as the sections for the forming bale are forced within it, the pressed material, in connection with the chamber; thus forming the necessary resistanbe within the chamber, and the finished I bale gradually giving place to the forming I bale within the-chamber,

After the bale is ejected the'r'naterialwithin the chamber is further compressed against the end door, which is' replaced for' this purpose,

. and the hole completed by forcing additional sections of material within the chamber until 'it is of the required solidity, as previously; de-
