BALING, CIDER & OTHER PRESSES
Year: 1885

page_text: This Specification was, upon the 15th day of August 1889, Amended under
Sections 18 to 21 of the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act, 1883.
JOHN THOMAS MOORE 48 Cemetery Road Crewe Draper do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for BALING, CIDER & OTHER PRESSES to be as follows:-
A right & left hand threaded screw, with nuts, toggle arms, short levers, and short
lever nuts for screw, aforesaid short levers and nuts to keep the screw in its true
working position as see my invention No 5097/84. Aforesaid short levers & nuts
may be placed in the centre, or at each end of the screw, also a head, platen, and
follower, the sides consist of upright bars of iron, said bars are perforated, pins can
he put through the holes and thro the upper end of the two upper toggle arms,
thus & by this means making a very light moveable head to the press.
JOHN THOMAS MOORE 48 Cemetery Road Crewe Draper do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for BALING CIDER OR OTHER PRESSES and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
My present Invention relates to improvements in presses which embody the
principles of construction described in my Specification of Letters Patent and
dated March 19th 1884 No 5097 and is especially suitable for Baling purposes oil
and cider extracting, cheese indigo and other pressing.

page_text: The great cumulative power of the right and left hand screw, toggle arm, and
knuckle joint arrangement of press have long been known and repeatedly embodied
in presses.
This my Invention dispenses with all guiding bars or standards and shows how
easily the true working position of screw shaft and follower may be maintained by
the addition of arms from a collar on the screw shaft to the centre of the toggle
arms thus keeping the screw and follower in their true horizontal position, and by
this means preventing any buckling, binding, or cutting of the screw thread.
The following description and drawings shew the press as arranged for baling.
The various parts of the press are lettered as follows. A the Base, B. Head,
C Platen. D lower toggle arm. E upper toggle arm. F Toggle knuckle nut
G Screw guide arm H Screw guide collar J. Pin to regulate height of head
L Standards M Power lever Ŏ Sprocket Wheel P. Double Screw.
The Base A has standards L rigidly fixed thereto, the standards are of flat bar
iron, with perforations, by means of which the head B & toggle arms E aro
secured to standards L by pin J. thus adapting the press to any bulk of material.
To raise or lower the head a pin is put thro' a hole in the platen or follower and
thro holes in the standards L so as to maintain the platen in position during the
alteration of the Head. To actuate the press the right & left hand screw P. when
turned causes the nuts to approach or recede from each other, thus causing the
toggle lever D & E to assume a nearly horizontal or vertical position whereby the
platen or follower is raised or lowered.
The screw P is kept in position by the simple but beautifully effective guides G.
One end of these are attached to exact centre of toggle arins D and E the other
end is pinned to loose collars H these collars can be placed upon the ends of screw
as shown or on the centre, with toggle nuts to work from the ends of screw, instead
of from centre. Sprocket wheel is for quickly raising or lowering the platen
and screw.
The Lever M is used to obtain additional power.
I am aware that prior to my invention in baling presses pins inserted in perforations
for regulating the height of the head of the baling press had been employed, I therefore
lay no claim to such perforations or pins by themselves.
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
First. In combination with double screw shaft, toggle arms screw guide arm,
screw guide collar, which maintain the aforesaid double screw shaft and follower
of the machine in their true working position as herein set forth.
Second. In combination with Head B, Toggle arms E, Standards L and pins J.
as herein set forth and for the purpose specified.
Dated this thirteenth day of November 1885.
