Abstract
Abstract A press for compressing resilient material having a frame, a stationary bottom press plate mounted in the frame, and a piston cylinder combination on the frame for moving a movable press plate between a datum position and a second position more closely adjacent the bottom plate and spaced therefrom. The above plates have adjacent, generally planar pressing surfaces with said surfaces diverging at least a slight amount in the direction that compressed product is to be moved in being ejected from between the plates when the movable plate is in its second position. There is provided a spout through which the compressed product is moved by a power operated pusher head that moves between the plates when the movable plate is in its second position. The pusher head has an extensible portion to move vertically as the presser head moves horizontally relative the tapered press plate.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
539 words
For compressing a product such as layers of batting or similar material wherein the compressed product is transferred in a given direction generally at right angles to the direction of the application of force for compressing the product, a press comprising a frame, a first press plate mounted on said frame, a second press plate on said frame, first power means mounted on the frame for moving the second press plate toward the first press plate from a datum position to a product compressed second position for compressing product located between said plates, said plates having adjacent, generally planar pressing surfaces, at least one of said pressing surfaces being tapered to extend progressively more remote from the other pressing surface in the direction of transfer of the compressed product, pusher means for moving the compressed product between the press plates when the second press plate is in its product compressed position to move the product in said right angle direction, second power means mounted on the frame and connected to the pusher means for forcing the pusher means between the press plates from a datum position adjacent the location of the minimum spacing of the press plates in a product compressed condition to a second position adjacent the location of the maximum spacing of the press plates, the pusher means including a pusher plate having a first edge adjacent the first press plate, and an opposite second edge substantially more closely adjacent the second press plate than the first press plate when the second plate is in its second position, an extension member, said extension member including a first portion extending along said pusher member in overlapping relationship along the surface of said pusher member that is on the side thereof in said given direction and a second portion having one edge joined to the first portion intermediate the pusher plate second edge and the second press plate, and means for mounting the extension member on the pusher plate to move therewith in said given direction and relative thereto to resiliently retain the extension member in abutting relationship with the second press plate as the pusher plate is moved in said given direction, said extension mounting means including spring mEans connected to the extension member second portion and mounted on the pusher plate for constantly resiliently urging said extension member away from the first press plate, the second power means being connected to the pusher plate for moving said pusher plate in said given direction form the pusher means datum position to adjacent the pusher means second position, said extension member including roller means abutable against the second press plate and connected to the second portion for retaining the second portion slightly spaced from and within close tolerance to the second press plate as the pusher means is moved toward its second position, the second press plate having a tapered surface portion, and a spout on the frame opposite the pusher means when the pusher means is adjacent its datum position to have the compressed product moved therethrough by the pusher means, said spout having a top wall tapered to form a generally planar continuation of the tapered surface portion of the second press plate in its second position.
