JOHN EDWARD LEUTY 69 & 71 Bird in bush Road Peckham Surrey Cowkeeper do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The ridge of stack to be spaned by a ▲ joint shaped and two to three ft. down
each side of roof of stack, with moveable joint at top, to expand at liberty, the above
to have sufficient Hoop Iron or Steel riveted to one side of ^ piece to come
5 or 6 feet below the eaves of Stack the other side of A piece to receive a Hook with
a similar length of Hoop Iron or Steel to come 5 or 6 feet below eaves on other side
of Stack the object of this distincktion, is that the band with the Hook, can be easily
used to press the Stack while in construction day by day the bands to be 1 ft. apart,
with a bar of Iron to Hook on to 3 Belts with a chain of long link make, in centre of
above bar, comeing down to bottom of Stack with sufficient smaller link chain
(ordinary crain Chain) with a ring at end to form a nooze to go round timber at
bottom of Stack which, timber to be 3 feet apart under Stack bottom, so that each
3 feet can be, instantly released of Pressure by one stroke of compound Purchase
Lever described heareafter, 3 ft. being the desired breadth for 1 truss across Stack, and
the rest quite undisturbed. All the above can be put over Stack in a few Minutes, there
being no bolts & nuts nor screws, to take time and cause wear & tare & skill in
fitting.
The Compound Purchase Lever to be from 3 to 6 ft. long, according to breadth of
Stack, to be applyed to the long link chain with a short arm with Hook that will grip
from above, and point of lever from below, which will cause, slack chain between the
grip of lever, to be simply hooked upon a Hook in chain until a fresh grip is taken,
this short arın of lever to take 3 or more Purchases by being shifted from 2-4-or 6
Inches from end of long lever by means of a simple pin the 6 Inch purchase, will
compress 1 ft., at at a stroke, thus 1 Cwt. on long lever at 15 ft. across the stack will
give 50 lb. per superficial foot at 4 Inch purchase will compress 6 In. at a stroke and
give 85 lb. per foot Superficial and at 2 Inches Purchase will compress 3 Inches at a

page_text: Stroke and give 175 lb. per foot Superficial, which can be shown by placeing a given
Weight upon the long lever which forms a steelyard, Weighing Machine and is
stamped in Cwts. weights to test pressure, at any part of Stack.
Hay Pressure Framework Iron or Wood, with rizeing Beam with counter balance
to lift beam when trusses or bales are to be removed, Pressure by Compound Purchase
Lever, acted upon long link Chains 4-6-or 8 as the size of Press may require of the
same Principle as Ensilage Pressure above described.
Hay Trusses, and Bales 1-2 or 3 truss bound in one, by either round or flat
bands with a few links of chain at each end so that they can be clamped together by a
small compound Purchase Lever as above described and fastened by a tongue similar
to wheel skid chains only in paise of a slideing ring, to fasten the tongue to be tied
down by a piece of string, which can be instantly cut and rest in its own bands, when
arriveing at Wharf or rail Station, or delivered in a compressed form to customers and
returned to salesman or consignee and used an indefinite number of times.

JOHN EDWARD LEUTY 69 & 71 Bird in bush Road, Peckham Surrey Cowkeeper,
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:
Pressure by a Compound purchase Lever-M. acting upon Chain H. with a
S. hook-N. to hold taught, the slack chain-D. (as shown in Fig. 1, one chain being
partially tightened,) wilst a fresh grip is taken upon each chain, along both sides of
Stack. The lower end of chain-H. to be of short link chain-L. with a ring at end
to form a noose-L. to go round timber-0. placed under Stack, (round or square).
The upper end of chain-H., to be Hooked upon cross bar-K. from which three
metallic Belts a. pass over Stack to similar chains on opposite side of Stack.-I. chain
at end of Belts-a.
Fig. 2. chains, intact with compound purchase Lever M ready for use, with chain
at end-T. with Hook-U. to hold down Lever, to chain-H. (wilst, man Hooks the
slack up) R. short chain, S-hook to take grip from above, 3-6-9. holes in
Lever M. to shift chain-R. when extra Pressure is wanted.
One, Lever, only being required for each Stack.
Trusses and Bales, Pressed by exactly similar Process. Bands of Trusses and
Bales, tightened with a small compound purchase Lever M.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is,
Compound purchase Lever M.
Cross Bars K and Metallic Belts-
