the packing device has a positive and power-
ful action under the influence of the plun-
ger device. As the plunger device moves
outwardly of the chamber 5 the packing de-
5 vice is positively and powerfully forced
downward through the opening 7 and into
the chamber 5 to pack the material to pro-
vide for an efficient feeding of the material
into the chamber 5 on the inward stroke of
10 the plunger device, the packing device
swinging outwardly through the opening 7
from the chamber 5 on the inward stroke
of the plunger device.
To shield the plunger and particularly the
15 bearings thereof from becoming clogged
with the material as it is fed into the cham-
ber 5 through the opening 7, we preferably
provide a shield whose inner end 28 is se-
cured in any suitable manner to the upper
20 side of the plunger head 14 with its outer
portion 29 curved upwardly and outwardly
and provided with a slot 30 to permit of
operation of the swinging arm 18. of the
packing device.
25 It is obvious that the plunger device may
be reciprocated in any well known manner
and that it is immaterial what means are
employed for reciprocating the plunger de-
vice.
30 What is claimed is:
1. In a device of the character described,
a chamber whose outer end is provided with
an opening at its top, a reciprocating plun-
ger device mounted in the chamber and in-
35 eluding a head and a bar, with the bar pro-
vided with a slot, roller bearings mounted
in the chamber and extending through the
slot of said bar to support and balance the
head and bar and to prevent upward or
40 downward tilting movement of the plunger
device and thereby maintain an even straight-
line reciprocating movement of the plunger
device to reduce friction between the plun-
ger device and the chamber, with said bear-
45 ings arranged so as to restrict reciprocating
movement of the plunger device, and a
packing device connected to the plunger de-
vice swingingly mounted in the chamber
and operable through the opening in said
50 chamber upon reciprocation of the plunger
device.
2. A device of the character described
comprising a chamber provided with an
opening in its top, a reciprocating plunger
55 device mounted in the chamber, a packing
device including an arm and a head swing-
ingly mounted in said chamber, a connection
between the swinging arm and the plunger
device to actuate the packing device to
60 throw the head of the latter into and out ofthe chamber through the opening in the lat-
ter to pack material in the chamber -prior
to the pressing action on the material by the
plunger device, and a shield secured to the
head. of the plunger device and provided. 65
with a slot in which the curved arm of the
packing device operates.
3. In a device of the character described,
a chamber provided with an opening, a
plunger device mounted in the chamber and 70
comprising a head and a bar with the bar
provided with a slot, bearings mounted in
the chamber and engaging the bar of the
plunger device within said slot and which
limit the reciprocating movements of the 75
plunger device, a packing device consisting -
of a curved arm provided with a head at its
inner end for passage into and out of said
chamber, and a connection between said arm
and the bar of the plunger device to operate 80
the arm to pack the material in the chamber
prior to the pressing of the material by the
head of the plunger device, and a shield car-
ried by the head of the plunger device and
provided with a slot in which latter the arm 85
of the packing device operates.
4. A device of. the character described
comprising a chamber provided with. an
opening in its top, a pair of shafts mounted
transversely through the chamber at the 90
outer end thereof, a roller bearing, mounted
on each shaft, a reciprocating plunger device
mounted in the chamber and including a
head and a bar, the latter being formed of
two parts with one part provided with a 95
notch whose outer side is closed by the other
part of the bar to form a slot in the latter.
the slot embracing said roller bearings and
engageable at its ends with the bearings to
limit the reciprocating movement of the 100
plunger device, a packing device including
a curved arm and a head swingingly mount-
ed in said chamber, a connection between the
swinging arm and the plunger device to ac-
tuate the packing device to throw the head 105
of the latter into and out of the chamber
through the opening of the latter to pack the
material in the chamber prior to pressing
action on the material by the plunger de-
vice, and a shield. secured to the head of the 110
plunger device. and provided with a slot in
which the curved arm of the packing device
operates.
In testimony whereof we affix our signa-
tures in presence of two witnesses.
