DENRY REMBERT, OF WILLIS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO D. M. CAMPIBELL,
OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TEXAS.
MACHINE FOR FOLDING AND COMPRESSING COTTON-BATTING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,092, dated December 10, 1889.
Application filed October 30, 1888. Serial No, 289,527. (No model.)To all whom ,it nmay concern:
Be it known that-I, HENRY REMBERT, a Citi-
zen of the United States, residing at Willis,
in the -county of Montgomery and State of
5 Texas, have invented a new and useful Im-
provement in Machines for Folding and Comn-
pressing Cotton-Batting, of which the follow-
ing is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in
ro machines forfolding and compressing cotton-
batting as it is fed from a gin-condenser and
for forming the same into bales; and it con-
sists in.the peculiar construction and combi-
nation of devices that will be more fully set
15 forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed
out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is
a vertical longitudinal sectional view of a
machine embodying my improvements. Fig.
20 2 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a
vertical transverse sectional view taken on
the line x x of Fig. 1.
A represents an elevated horizontal table
or platform, which is mounted on vertical
25 supports B, and has a series of anti-friction
rollers C, journaled in blocks D, on its upper
side and arranged in opposite sides thereof.
E represents a carriage, which iS guided
and supported on the rollers C and is adapted
30 to move back and forth on the table A. The
said carriage is connected by a pitman F to
a crank-wheel, which latter is rotated by an
engine or motor,. (not'shown,) and is thereby
caused to reciprocate the carriage, as will be
35 readily:understood:
H represents a_ pair of rollers, which are
journaled in standards K, that rise above the
table A, near one end of the latter, and the
said rollers are arranged at a suitable distance
40 apart.
I represents a pair of vertical standards,
which are.arranged at a suitable distance
beyond the inner end of the table A, and in
the said standards is journaled a pair of
45 rollers K', which are arranged in proximity
to each other, onie above the other, and have
their opposing sides at a suitable distance
above the plane of the table: Each of tihe
rollers K' has a pulley L, the said pulleys be-
lo ing connected by endless belts (not shown) to
a suitable counter-shaft, whereby the rollersare rotated iri opposite directions, as indicated
by the arrows in Fig. 1.
At a suitable distance from the standards
I is another pair of standards M, in the upper 55
ends of which is journaled a large roller N,
which has at one end a pulley 0, that is like-
wise connected to and driven.by an endless
belt, (not shown,) and causes the roller N to
rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow 6o
thereon. In the lower ends of the standards
M is journaled a small roller O'.
P represents a platform or bed in theasame
plane with the lower ends of the standards
I M, and extending from the standards I to a 65
suitable distance beyond the standards M,
and on the said lied are- arranged series of
anti-friction rollers R, which are journaled in
blocks S.
T represents a carriage, which'is arranged 70
and supported on the rollers R and is adapted
to move longitudinally on the-bed P.
The operation of .my. invention is as fol-
lows: The machine is arranged with its roll-
ers II under the cotton-condenser, and as the 75
web of cotton leaves the condenserjit is di-
rected between the opposing sides of the roll-
ers I and onto the carriage E. The said
rollers IH being rotated by means similar to
those hereinbefore described, the web is corn- 80
pressed between them, and as the carriage E
moves back and forth in the direction of its
length the web of cotton is caused to be ar-
ranged thereon in successive folds. The
rollers II bear on the folds of cotton, compress 85
the same on the carriage E as the cotton ac-
cumulates, and thereby serve to diminish the
bulk of the cottop -as will be readily under-
stood. When:a 'sufficient number, usually
ten folds--fifty pounds of cotton-have been go
thus disposed on the carriage, the web is sev-
ered at a point between the rollers II and the
condenser, the cotton package- is moved from
the carriage, when the latter is moved rear-
ward near to the rollers K, and the folds of 95
cotton thereon are slid between the engaging
sides of said rollers K', and as the latter ro-
tate.the folds of %cotton are drawn between
them anid compressed and discharged onto
the carriage T, on which a suitable number roc
of baling hoops or straps U have been pre-
viously arranged. The carriage E continues
