PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Meal Presses for Making Feeding Cakes for Cattle
and the like.
GEORGE PEARSON WALLIS, 5 Wormald Row Leeds, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Providing a loose head with stops on one side to prevent the meal box from
rising when the finished cakes are being pressed out, and on the opposite side a
head is formed to receive the pressure and form a top for the meal box. The
loose head revolves on a pin which is fixed to press top and is worked as
follows:
Whilst the meal is being pressed in No. 1 box, the finished cakes are being
emptied, and fresh meal put into number two box. Then the loose head is pushed
round, and the portion that was over number one box, now over number two box,
and number two meal is pressed, whilst number one box is emptied.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Meal Presses for Making Feeding Cakes for Cattle
and the like.
GEORGE PEARSON WALLIS, 5 Wormald Row, Leeds, Engineer, 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:-
This improvement consists in providing a loose head which revolves upon a pin
fixed to press top. This loose head is so constructed that at one end a projection
is provided which receives the pressure necessary to convert the meal into cakes.
The other end of the loose head has projections which prevent the meal box rising
when the finished cakes are being pressed out. The method of working is as
follows:-The meal to be pressed is fed through the openings "A" in press head,
and through an opening "B" in revolving head "C" and then into the meal
box "D." As soon as the meal box "D" is sufficiently full, the rovolving head "C"
being suspended by the pin "E," is turned round so that the projection F is
over the meal box "D," and the projections "G" are over the meal box "H."
The pressure then necessary to convert the meal into cakes in the box "D" is
taken by the projection "F" whilst the opening "B" over the meal box "H"
enables the meal to be fed into the meal box "H." As soon as the meal box "H"
is sufficiently full, the loose head is again swung round on the pin E, till the
projection "F" is over the meal box "H" when pressure is applied as before.
The projections G enables the finished cakes in the meal box "D" to be pressed
out, by preventing the meal box D from rising. The cakes as they are being
pressed out of the box, are taken away through the opening "J."

page_text: 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
1st. The loose head "C" with projections "F" & "G" suspended by the
pin E, so that by swinging the head "C" partly round the projection "F" takes
the place of the projections G and vice versa substantially as described.
Dated this 21st day of August 1894.
