I LOUIS HEYLIGENSTAEDT of Giessen in the German Empire, Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improvements relate to an apparatus for packing minerals more closely together
in casks. This object is attained by subjecting the cask filled with materials or
minerals to repeated periodical shakings in a machine. By means of this operation
the intermediate spaces and cavities in the material are filled up.
The cask filled with the minerals is set on a table, which is moved vertically by a
lever. The table is held in its position by a spring and may be slowly lifted by the
lever. If the table has gained its highest position, it suddenly falls down, because
the lever leaves its hold of it.
The construction of the cask-packing machine is as follows: A plank or spring is
fastened at one end of the apparatus and bears at its other end a table for the cask
that is to be filled.
This plank or spring is lifted at regular intervals by a lever-arm and in company
with it the table of the cask is likewise lifted. The lever is lifted by the thumb of a
rotating axle and as soon as the thumb leaves its hold of the lifted lever the table falls
down in its former position by reason of its own weight and the weight resting on it.
By this means periodically recurring shakings of more or less violence are produced;
they make the loose material settle down in the cask and fill up the empty spaces.
The cask-packing machine just described is well adapted for packing granular,
pulverised or lump minerals closely in casks. The operation is carried out in a
simple and easy way and the material is compressed into the smallest space possible.
In case machine-power should not be at disposal to move the rotating axle with its
thumb, the latter can be worked by hand in an equally simple way.

page_text: I, LOUIS HEYLIGENSTAEDT of Giessen in the German Empire, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to an apparatus for packing minerals more closely in barrels
or casks, so as to be able to fill a greater quantity of the respective material into the
barrel.
I attain this object by subjecting the barrel to be filled to repeated shakings at
intervals which is done by the apparatus hereinafter described and shown in the
accompanying drawings.
In these drawings Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of my improved apparatus on
line X-Y figure 2;
Fig. 2 is a plan of the same;
Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section on line A-B of figure 2, and
Fig. 4 is a like section on line C-D of the same figure.
Similar letters indicate similar parts throughout the figures.
b is a flexible plank or a spring being bolted to the foundation of the apparatus by
bolts and nuts 6' 6' or otherwise and carrying at its free or flexible end the table or
foundation-plated for the barrel or cask to be filled. The table d is loosely connected
to the plank so as to be pressed down by the latter. The raising or lifting of the
plank band the table d is done in regular intervals by a lever a having its fulcrum
in a and to which is pivoted the plank at a just in the centre of the table d. The
free end of the lever a bears against a shafte being provided with a cam or thumb c
and with a spur-wheel engaging with a pinion on shaft f. This shaft may be rotated
by any means either by mechanical or machine power or by hand, (being not shown
in the accompanying drawing.)
The manner in which the apparatus is working is as follows:
C
When the shaft is rotated by any of the above named means the shaft c will also
rotate and its cam or thumb c¹ will raise the lever a having its fulcrum in a and
being pivoted to the plank or spring bat a¹ and consequently the plank a, table d and
the barrel stanting on the latter will be lifted up at the same time. By continuing
the rotation of the shafts and c the lever a, plank b, table d and the barrel will be
lowered again. The shaft c is rotating at such a speed that the lever a will make a
vibrating motion and the barrel standing on table à will be shaken or tossed, so that
the material being filled into the barrel by and by is also shaken and is settled down,
so that the smaller pieces fill out the spaces between the bigger ones.
The effect of the shaking of the barrel is attained by the dead weight of table d
and of the barrel and its contents and it is increased by the elasticity of the plank or
spring b which always tends to come into its original position, that is, into its
lower one.

page_text: The barrel-packing-machine just described is well adopted for packing closely
granular, pulverized or lump materials or minerals in to the barrel or cask and the
operation is carried out in a most simple and efficacious manner, the material being
compressed into the smallest spaces possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
1.) A barrel-packing-machine consisting of a table d being loosely connected to a
flexible plank to which is pivoted a vibrating lever a, all working in the manner
and for the purpose described.
2.) A barrel-packing-machine consisting of a table d being connected with the free
end of a flexible plank or spring b to which is pivoted a lever a in combination with a
cam c¹ on shaft c acting upon said lever by putting the same into a vibrating motion,
all operating substantially and in the manner as described.
