Filed: 1921-04-20
Abstract: 178,327. Nissen, J. April 20, 1921. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Parcelling by bundling.-Relates to a machine for packing the roots of living plants, which are enclosed, with the necessary earth and straw, in wire or thread netting. The root 16 is held by a holder 18 above a base-plate 3 which carries, in arms 4, the bearings 5 of shafts 6, on which are mounted wire guiding-levers 7. The shafts 6 are actuated from a planetary system of pinions 10 connected by shafts 11 to pinions 9 gearing with bevel-gears 8. The wire 15 is supplied from bobbins 14 and is guided to the ends of the levers 7 through eyes. The wires having been twisted together at 19 from the previous operation, the device is rotated bv means of the hand-rail 13. The gear 12 being presented from rotating in one direction by a pawl 17, the pinions 10 actuate the levers 7 to place the wires about the root. After the levers have made half a revolution, the rotation of the device is reversed. The gear 12 being free to rotate in this direction, the levers 7 are not rotated about the shafts 6, and the wires are consequently placed round the neck of the root. The rotation of the device is again reversed until the levers 7 have returned to the position shown, thus completing a net work of wire about the root. On reversal again the ends of the wires are twisted as at 19 and are cut off. In a modification, the root is held in a vertically movable carrier and the wire-guiding levers are mounted on vertical axes in the rotary machine frame. In another 'modification, the wire guiding levers are mounted on vertical pivots and are actuated by the action of pins and slots in outward extensions thereof.
