Abstract: 18,748. Roberts, H. I. Aug. 20. Fatty oils, extracting. Relates to improvements in presses of the kind described in Specification No. 9874, A.D. 1903. On each of one or more .of the .pillars c, Fig. 1, there is mounted a swinging filling-box made up of a number of sections n, each having two of its adjacent sides hinged so that they can swing outwards. The bottom of each of the filling-boxes is closed by a slide s, Fig. 4, which is drawn aside, when the filling-box has been swung over the follower e, by one or two hand-levers s<2> connected to the slide s by means of levers s' pivoted to the slide and having their upper ends guided in vertical slots. When the follower e has passed through the lowest section of the filling-box a roller carried by brackets v on the follower strikes a .lever, which lifts pivoted catches p connected together by a rod q, and thus releases the hinged sides of the lowest section of the filling - box. Another roller carried by the brackets v then contacts with an inclined piece v<2> and turns the lowest section of the filling-box away from the centre of the press. Each section is similarly turned aside, in turn, the follower entering one section or the baling-chamber w before it turns aside the section below it. The pressing-mechanism is similar to that described in the above-mentioned Specification, except that one end of the rope or chain is connected to the beams d, and the rods h and rocking- levers are arranged outside the press columns. During the first part of its lift the follower e is guided by rollers t<3>, which are carried by fixed brackets and run in grooves cut in the sides of the follower. The sections of each filling-box are held in line with one another by projections rand pivoted catches r<1>.
