Description: |
| This patent was improved by patent #123,734.
Abstract:
In this invention the arms which operate the screw do not rise and fall with the screw; secondly, the press can be worked upward and downward by hand, by horse-power, or by any other power. This invention is designed to obviate a difficulty in the working of the ordinary cotton-press arising from the fact that the arms by which the power is applied are fixed to the screw, and move up and down. with it, rising and falling sometimes several feet, and proving a great inconvenience in operating the press.
Claim:
A hay or cotton press constructed as above described, and having the screw G, arms I I, ring H, box D, platform K, and frames A and L; all combined and arranged in connection with each other to form a press, which may rest, in working, either on the frame A or in an inverted position on the frame L. |
