This invention relates to improvements in baling presses, and more especially to novel 7 means for driving the condenser plunger of such presses. V

Heretofore, such plungers have been so combined with the drivingmechanism of the main plunger of the press that the condenser plunger is drivenirregularly and with a jerky motion which causes knocking, and the main object of the present invention is to provide driving mechanism; which will cause the condenser plunger to continuously travel in a steady manner and without the usual noise.

With the foregoing object outlined and 1 with other objects in view which'will' appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel features hereinafter described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly 2 pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, V Fig. 1 is a side elevation of: a baling press equipped with my improvements.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a top plan View. I Fig. 4 is a viewsimilar to Fig. 1, but showing only a portion of the mechanism, and with the condenser plunger connecting rod and O lever in a diiferent position.

Referring to the drawings, 5 designates the hopper and 6 the baling chamberof a press to which I have applied my improvements. Such baling presses have a goose neck 7 which is pivotally mounted-at Sand has a leg 9 which acts to force the material to. be baled from the condenser into the baling chamber.

10 indicates the, conventional main plunger of the press, whichis providedwith guideways'll that operate pins or rollers 12 at one end of the goose neck. When the main plunger moves forwardly, the guides 11 act to raise.

the leg 9 out of the condenser. V

The condenser plunger is shown at 1 3,.and in accordance with my invention, long'llinks 1d havetheir forward ends secured tothe plunger 13,,and their other ends provided with pins 15 which slide in slots 16 ofjlevers L71 that r'are pivotall y mounted at IB'Qon" frame of the machine. p r

It will be understood from the foregoing that my mechanism causes the condenser plunger to run regularly Without knock, and

that the plunger 13 puts the material under 7 the goose neck earlier than the mechanisms heretofore known.

From the for-egoingit-is believed that the construction, operation and advantages of the invention may be readily understood, and" I am aware that changes may be made in the details disclosed, Without departing from the spirit of the invention, asexpressed in the claims.
