  • Patent number: 5529095
    Abstract: A distribution system for a tobacco press is disclosed which includes a distribution conveyor system 50 and distributor blade assembly that includes a first blade mechanism B and a second blade mechanism C. The blade mechanisms are disposed in upper and lower hopper portions 80a, 80b, and distribute tobacco into a charger 30a. The charger includes a vertical chute 32a and an internal container 34a which inserts into a tobacco container 22a which tobacco is distributed and compressed by means of a press head 12a. First blade mechanism B includes a primary distributor blade 82 which can be moved in both a linear motion and a pivotal motion to primarily control the deflection and distribution of tobacco. Second blade mechanism C may include secondary distributor blades 94 and 96 which, when utilized in combination with primary distributor blade 82, provide for quadrant (a, b, c, d) distribution of tobacco into container 22a.

  • Patent number: 5493963
    Abstract: A high production, double lift box baler having a pair of lift box assemblies which rotate between a charging position and a compression position. Each lift box assembly includes a lift box and a displaceable lower platen which has a latched position in which the lower platen forms a floor of the lift box. Each lower platen also has an unlatched position in which the lower platen is independently displaced to rest against a bottom sill during a compression cycle to withstand the compression forces. The lower platens are independently displaceable, so that while one platen is displaced against the bottom sill for compression, the other sill is latched and is utilized as a floor for tramping the fibers during a filling cycle. A latch assembly is provided for unlatching the lower platen at the compression position during a compression cycle, and for latching the lower platen integrally to the lift box for rotation and tramping.
