IMPROVEMENT IN BALI NG-PRESS SAUGATUCK, MICHIGAN.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 12 6,853, dated May 14, 1 8 72.

To all whom it mag concern.-

I Be it known that I, FRANKLIN B. WALLIN,

of Saugatuck, in the county of Allegan and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Baling-Press; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, reference being had. to the accompanying drawing making part of this specification, in which Figure 1, Plate 1, isan elevation of one side of the press. Fig. 2, Plate 1, is a top view of te 2, is a perspective view of the press. Fig. 4, Plate 2, is a sectional view of the press.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

This invention relates to improvementson presses for baling hair, hay, cotton, and other will hereinafter explain. wing description of my invention others skilled in the art to under- The follo will enable stand it.

' In the accompanying drawing, I have represented the press-box A constructed on one end of a long beam, 0, which latter ,may be supported upon blocks in an inclined position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. The beam 0 forms box, and is slotted, as at P, for allowing free escape of dust and trash through this bottom. This press-box A is provided with a hinged top, a, and a hinged door, a. The ends of the straps Z) on the door a are received intoslots which are made through the upper ends of vertical straps I), through which ends a bar, a, is passed, that securely fastens thedoors a adown in place. By removing bar a the two doors can be opened for filling the press or removing a bale. B represents the follower or pressing-head, which is supported upon the beam. 0 by means of rollers 19 p, and which has a number of grooves made verworks in the pressbox. The inner side of the head of the pressboxis also grooved to correspond to the grooves in the follower. At the upper end of each groove in the head of the press-box is a pin, w, which, when the door a is shut, is received 20 serve as means for retaining the ends of the baling-cords in place during the operation of pressing, after which the cords are secured head or foll around thebale. These cords are unwound from an elevated reel, J, which has its end bearings in standards G Grisingfrorn the sides ofthepressbox at its open end. Beneath the reel J, and pivoted to the standards G G, is aclamp, m, and a rigid bar, v, between which the c By adjusting the beveled--edge of upon the cords cro'ssingthe barn these cords will be firmly griped and held, as shown in Fig. 4. A lever, D, is pivoted to the follower B; at one end it is jointed to a lever, E, which latter is pivoted to a block, a, fast on the beam 0. These two levers form toggles which move in a vertical plane, and are guided between two standards, N, which rise perpendicularly from the beam 0. Beneath the toggle-levers, and supported by standards ff, is a Windlass, F having crank-handlesff this Windlass F is wound arranged as follows: One attached to an eye,

the clamp on 7 on its ends. Around a rope, g, which is end of the rope g is t, which is fixed into the lever E; it is thence carried down and passed beneath a pulley, '0; thence over a pulley r,- thence around the Windlass F; thence around pulleys sf finally, the rope is secured at 2 to one of the standards .N, above the pulley s.

It will thus be seen that one end of the rope is secured fast to the lever E, and after passing around four pulleys and the Windlass, the other end of the rope is secured to. one of the standards N,'near. its upper end. I am thus enabled to apply great force to the pressingower for compressing the material in the press-box. I am also enabled to move the follower up to and from its work by turning the Windlass in opposite directions.

To operate the press, the Windlass is turned so as to draw the follower nearly out of the press-box, as shown in Fig. 4. The cords are then carried across and fastened to the pins w, and after they are adjusted into their respective grooves and slots, the material to be baled is packed into the press-box, and the doors securely fastened by the bar 0. After pressing the material as much as desired, and before the pressure is removed, the door a is raised and the cords i fastened around the bale and separated from the reel. The pressure is then removed by'retractin door (1/ opened, and the bal press-box.
