to operate as before described, but the car-
riage T remains stationary until a sufficient
number of bundles of cotton have been con-
veyed thereto and arranged one on top of an-
5 other to form a bale. The free ends of the
straps or ties U are then passed over the cot-
ton on the carriage T and arranged in posi-
tion to be secured together when the cotton
is compressed, and the operator then moves
io the carriage T rearward and causes the cot-
ton thereon to be caught between the rollers
N O' and compressed sufficiently to form a
bale. As each of the ties U in succession
passes between the rollers its ends are se-
r; cured together, and when the cotton emerges
from between the rollers N O' the same has
been thereby formed into a bale, as will be
readily understood.
Having thus described my invention, I
20 claim-
1. The combination, with the table A, of
the reciprocating carriage E, guided and sup-
ported on the said table, the rollers H, ar-
ranged at a suitable distance above the table,
25 for the purpose set forth, and the rollers K',
arranged, at the rear end of the table, and
means, substantially as set forth, to rotate the
said rollers, substantially as described.
2. The cotton-compress comprising the plat-
30 form A, the carriage E, movable longitudi-
nally thereon, the rollers H, arranged above
the same, the rollers K' at the inner or rearend of the platform, the rollers N O' at a
suitable distance from the rollers K, and the
carriage T, movable longitudinally under the 35
roller N, substantially as described.
3. The combination, with a fixed unyielding
table provided with a series of loosely-mou nt-
ed rotatable unyielding rolls of a uniform
size, of an unyielding reciprocating carriage 40
mounted for reciprocation upon the-rolls, and
a superimposed pair of rolls unyieldingly
mounted above the carriage, said rolls being
in a horizontal plane with. each other, sub-
stantially as specified. 45
4. The combination, with a table provided
with a series of transverse rolls of the same
size, a reciprocating carriage mounted on the
rolls, and a pair of superimposed feeding-
rolls arranged jn line with the carriage, of a 50
base arranged at the end of the table and
provided with two opposite pairs of stand-
ards, the pair nearest the end of the table
having vertically-opposite rolls, and the other
pair of standards having a single roll, and a 55
series of transverse feeding-rolls mounted on
the base, substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own I have hereto affixed my signature in
presence of two witnesses.
