tor 10, carries the feeder, which comprises a
pair of sectors 19, connected by a segmental
plate 20, to the outer and inner sides of which
are attached pairs of metallic strips 23, con-
5 nected near their outer ends by spacing-
blocks 24, the outer extremities of said strips
being pointed, as shown at 25. Extending
laterally from the feeder is a lug 26, having
eyes 27, to which are attached the inner ends
io of flexible members 28-such as wire cables,
chains, or the like-the outer ends of said
flexible members being connected with lugs
29, connected with the followers 17 and ex-
tending through slots 30 in the sides of the
15 compartment 6 of the press - frame. The
flexible members 28 are guided over pulleys
31, which may be supported for rotation
upon two of the connecting-bolts 5, said pul-
leys being protected by means of guards 32.
20 The feeder, which generally is designated F,
will thus be oscillated by the reciprocatory
movement of the followers 17 in the press.
The flexible members 28, pulleys 31, and re-
lated parts have been illustrated as applied
25 upon one side of the press-box only; but it is
to be understood that they may be advan-
tageously applied upon both sides of the
press-box and that the right to do so is re-
served as being entirely within the scope of
30 the invention. The upper edges of the fol-
lower 17 are connected by means of a plate
33, extending over and partially resting
upon the upper edges of the bulkheads 12.
In operation the material which is to be
35 compressed is fed to the subhopper 11, com-
municating with that end of the compart-
ment 6 the follower of which is temporarily
advanced into its compression-chamber, said
material being deposited upon the plate 33.
40 One end of the approximately segmental
feeder at this time extends into the opposite
end of the compartment 6 in advance of the
follower, as will be clearly seen in Fig. 2 of
the drawings. As the latter follower ad-
45 vances the material in advance thereof will
be pushed into the compression-chamber,
while as the opposite follower recedes the po-
sition of the feeder is shifted and the material
supported upon one end of the plate 33 is
5o compacted and forced into the compartment
6 in advance of the receding follower. As
the movement of the followers is reversed the
position of the feeder is shifted and material
in front of the advancing follower is pushed
55 into the compression-chamber, while mate-
rial is moved by the action of the feeder from
the top plate 33 into the space in front.of the
receding follower.
Within the scope of this invention the gen-
6o eral construction of the press and the means
for actuating the followers may be changed
or modified to any extent, the invention,
which consists, essentially, in the feeding
mechanism, being applicable to many forms
65 and constructions of presses besides the oneherein shown. Such modifications as may
be necessary to adapt the improved feeder to
various presses are to be considered to be
within the scope of the invention.
Under the modification illustrated in Fig. 5 70
of the drawings the guide-pulleys (here des-
ignated 31' and which are protected by
guides 32') are not mounted upon the bolts 5,
but are placed more closely together and
nearer the upper edge of the press-box. The 75
flexible members 28' are made to cross each
other and are suitably connected with the
followers to cause the heating device to be
moved in the proper direction.
Having thus described the invention, what 8o
is claimed is-
1. A baling-press having two spaced com-
pression-chambers; in combination with a
feeding device supported for oscillation
above and between said chambers and in- 85
eluding an arm and members connected with
said arm and extending laterally therefrom
in opposite directions.
2. A baling-press having a plurality of
compression-chambers and followers mov- 90
able therein, in combination with an oscilla-
tory feeding member provided at its free end
with a cross-head adapted for alternate en-
trance into oppositely-disposed compression-
chambers. 95
3. An oscillatory feeder for baling-presses
comprising a pair of arms, a segment con-
necting said arms, and barbed strips con-
nected with and extending from said seg-
ment. 100
4. An oscillatory feeder for baling-presses
comprising a pair of arms, a connecting mem-
ber, barbed strips connected with and ex-
tending from said connecting member, and
spacing-blocks connecting said strips. 105
5. An oscillatory feeder for baling-presses
having approximately segmental pushing
members, and spacing - blocks connecting
said pushing members.
6. A baling-press having a pair of com- i io
pression-chambers and an intermediate com-
partment, a pair of hoppers communicating
with said intermediate compartment, a de-
flector separating said hoppers, compression
mechanism including a pair of suitably-con- 115
nected reciprocatory followers within said
chamber, a supporting-plate connecting the
upper edges of said followers, an oscillatory
feeder having arms or sectors supported upon
a rock-shaft beneath the deflector separating i2C
the hoppers, and suitably - guided flexible
members connecting the followers with said
feeder.
7. A press-box having a pair of compres-
sion-chambers and an intermediate compart- 125
ment, compression mechanism including a
pair of connected reciprocatory followers
within said compartment, a supporting-plate
connecting the upper edges of said followers,
lugs extending from said followers through 130g2
