bar connects with a hand-lever 18, the handle
end of which is extended, so that the operator
standing with his foot on the locking-lever
14 can operate the locking-frame 15, and thus
5 unlock both end doors at the same time.
From the foregoing description, taken in
connection with the accompanying drawings,
the construction; operation, and advantages
of my invention will be readily understood.
to With the old form of press-doors hereto-
fore used the doors are hinged either both at
their lower ends of both at their upper ends,
making them heavy and difficult to handle,
there being also a danger of their falling with
I5 great force and injuring the operator as well
as the press. My invention overcomes all
these difficulties. The doors, counterbalanc-
ing each other, rise and swing easily and
smoothly, can be raised and lowered with little
20 effortby even a child, and, owing to the weight
of one door counterbalancing that of the op-
posite door, there is no danger of their falling
suddenly or with any force to injure either
the operator or the press.
25 Having thus described my invention, what I
claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
is-
1. A vertical baling-press having the doors
on its opposite sides hinged, respectively, one
30 at its upper and the other at its lower end,
and having their free ends connected by a
rope passing over grooved pulleys, so that the
weight of one door will counterbalance that
of the opposite door with which it is con-nected and the doors will open and close si- 35
multaneously, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, in a baling-press, of
the opposite side doors, one of which is piv-
oted at its upper and the other at its lower
end, the stirrups 13, secured on the end bars 40
of the said doors, the rope connecting the free
ends of said doors, the end doors, one of which
is pivoted at its lower end and the other at
its upper end, the latches 12, secured to the
said end doors, and the rods connecting their 45
free ends, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination, in a baling-press, of
the side doors having the end stirrups piv-
oted one at its upper and the other at its
lower end and having their free ends con- 50
nected by a rope passing over grooved pulleys
on the press-frame, the end doors having the
end latches pivoted one at its lower and the
other at its upper end and having their free
ends connected by a rope passing over grooved 55
pulleys on the press-frame, the pivoted foot-
lever, and the locking device for the opposite
end door, consisting of the U-frame 15, the
connecting-link 16, the short lever 17, and the
extended hand-lever 18, substantially as set 60
forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in
the presence of two witnesses.
