HENRY G. KLOCKMIANN, OF LA GRANGE, TEXAS.
BALING-PRESS.
CPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 450,942, dated April 21, 1891.
Application filed October 20, 1890. Serial No. 368,697. (No model,)To cll whom72 it nacly co07cer7:
Be it known that I, IIHENR G. KLOCKMAiNN,
a citizen of the United States, residing at La
Grange, in the county of Fayette and State
5 of Texas, have invented certain new and use-
ful Improvements in Baling-Presses; and I do
hereby declare that the following isa full,clear,
and exact description of the invention, which
will enable others skilled in the art to which
to it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to an improved hal-
ing-press; and it has for its object to provide
a baling-press which will possess advantages
in point of simplicity and inexpensiveness in
15 construction, ease of operation, and general
efficiency.
In the drawings, Figure I is a perspective
view of a baling-press embodying my inven-
tion. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal see-
20o tional view thereof, the operation being illus-
trated in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a horizontal
sectional view on the line x x, Fig. 2. Fig. 4
is a detail perspective view of the top of the
baling-chamber, the doors being thrown open.
25 Fig. 5 is a similar view of the plunger-oper-
ating mechanism, the locking-collar being
thrown out of operation.
Corresponding parts in the figures are de-
noted by the same letters of reference.
30 Referring to the drawings,A designates the
frame, comprising four uprights a, connected
and braced by a series of cross-beams a'.
B designates a vertically-disposed baling
box or chamber located between and secured
35 to the adjacent cross-beams a' and extending
from the top of the frame to within about
one-third the height of the latter from the
bottom. This baling box or chamber is rect-
angular in cross-section and is formed by side
40 walls b b, front and rear walls b' b, respect-
ively, and a top door b, all of said walls be-
ing preferably solid. The front and one of
the side walls terminate some distance from
the top, leaving openings through which the
45 bales are adapted to be removed. These open-
ings are provided with doors C C, comprising
each an upper and lower horizontal beam c c,
hinged at one end to the adjacent cross-beams
a' by a bolt c', said beams c projecting beyond
50 the adjacent uprights a, and abut thereagainst
when the doors are closed to obviate further
inward movement of the latter.For locking the doors in closed position,
horizontally-sliding bolts D D are provided,
disposed between the beams c and guided by 55
strips or plates d d, connecting said beams.
These bolts slide one above the other at the
inner faces of the adjacent upright a, and are
provided with outwardly-projecting lugs or
bolts d' d' for operating the same. The top Oc
door is locked by means of a bar b, sliding
in apertures a in the adjacent uprights a,
and said door is also provided with a lever bZ
for opening the same, the lever being piv-
oted upon the door and projecting over the 65
contiguous cross-beam a' and carries an op-
erating-cord b".
Upon the lower cross-beams a' is disposed.
a platform E, and upon this platform, below
the bale-box, is mounted a frame F. The lat- 70
ter comprises a horizontal top portion f, from
which extend two downwardly - divergent
standards f' f', terminating in outwardly-
projecting horizontal extensions fmf , bolted
or otherwise secured to the platform. Be- 75
tween the standards f' is bolted a horizontal
brace f".
G designates the plunger, corresponding to
and fitting within thebale-box. From the bot-
tom of the plunger projects a vertical plun- 8a
ger-rod G', working in coincident openings
g g, provided therefor near the center of the
horizontal portion f of the frame F and the
brace f.
For elevating the plunger and retaining 85
the same against backward movement, mech-
anism is employed which will now be de-
scribed. Upon the plunger-rod, between the
horizontal top portion of the frame F and the
bracef*, is loosely disposed a collar II, pro- 90
vided at one side with a projecting lug h. I
designates a lever journaled near one end to
one of the standards of the frame F, said end
projecting through a slot i', provided therefor
in thelatter. This inner end of the lever is piv- 95
otally connected with the lug of the collar I by
links J J. A second collar K is also disposed
upon the plunger-rod above the horizontal
top portion of the frame F, said collar being
provided at one side with a lug k., having at 0oo
its outer end a downward extension k' at right
angles thereto. The office of said collar will
hereinafter appear.
