IMPROVEMENT IN BALlNG-PRESSES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,216, dated May 9, 1876; application tiled y April 4, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETEE'K. DEDERIGK, of Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Baling Presses; Vand I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,

and exact description of the saine, reference.

v which numerouspatents have been heretofore granted me.

The second part of my invention consists ofthe supplemental passage in the pressbox covered with the valves.

The third part consists of an improved coni* struction of the Apartition-followers, relating particularly to a metallicstrip in the same, and the fourth, of an improved construction of the yielding or spring top of the traverser.

In the drawings, Figure l1 is a perspective view of a continuous balin g-press frame, which may be constructed, except in the particulars named above, as shown, or in any ordinary manner. Fig. 2 represents the frame for carrying the followers. Fig. 3 shows the improvement in the partition -followers which separates the bales; and Fig. represents the improvement in the traverser for pressing the hay.

The frame which carries the partition-followers is represented in place in Fig. l at E, and detached in Fig. 2. It consists of a framework of suitable size and strength to hold the partition-follower. In the drawing it is represented as made with a bottom piece, having three uprights fixed thereon, the nprights being made to correspond to the height of the follower. These uprights are provided with notches F F, made in their sides, to correspond with the projections H H, on the ends of the partition-follower. These serve to retain lthe followers in place, but spring-catches may also be used if deemed desirable. The frame passes into the side of the box, as shown in Fig. l, and by an opposite opening, cut at the other side.

The parts are so adapted to each other that when the partition-follower, set in one side of the frame, is brought into line with the traverser, so as to be pushed forward, the other end of the frame outside the box shall be in position to receive another partition follower, which, in its turn, may be pushed into place, the end first in place moving out on the opposite side. In case the frame should become clogged with dirt, or from any reason inoperative, I have provided just in rear of it an opening, O, Fig. l, through which the follower may b e introduced by hand. The opening is covered by a hinged leaf, which protects it in ordinary use.

Theimproved followers, (shown at M, in Fig.

3,)1are made with grooves on both sides, said grooves being made wide at the bottom in order to prevent the hay from being pressed into them. In one pair of grooves I have shown projections, formed by sheet-metal strips bent to fit the grooves, and made. long enough to project on each'side. These projections may be on all slots if desired, and corresponding grooves formed on the insides of the press-box to admit their passage. They will thus` pass freely through the press-box and will project into the slots in the balechamber, where the ties may be inserted into them without diiiiculty, even though the ends ofthe partition-follower should be covered by the hay or other material passed around them. The improved traverser, Fig. 4, is made with leaves, with a pad, K, of rubber or other suitable yielding material, placed between. The leaves have been heretofore shown, and the improvement consists in the spring, which serves togive additional elasticity to the top, and prevent any dirt or seed from accumulating between the leaves.

In the operation of my improved press, the follower is placed securely in its Aproper position in the frame outside the press-box, and the frame then slipped sidewise of the box into place when the partition-follower is in line with the inner surfaces of the box. The traverser in its forward motion then drives it out ofthe frame and into place in the box. The other part of the frame is then in position to receive another follower, and so on in succession.

The hay or other material to be pressed is passed into the press-box A, and forced into 2. In coxnbinetion with the frames moving the chznnner Bhythe 1tig-everser. D.
