Abstract

A clampable closure device for the press door (3) of a baling press comprises a lever (5) nonrotatably connected to a shaft (13) the other end of which is fixed to an end of eccentric lever (12). The other end of the eccentric lever (12) is fixed to a shaft (14) mounted on spaced apart bearing members (2) secured to the top of the press housing (1). Beams (6) each have one end rotatably connected to a shaft (13) and the other end of each beam (6) has an angled guide recess (10) receiving a traverse shaft (7) connected to the press door (3). Rotation of the lever (5) effects a clampable closure and locking of the press door (3) to the press housing (1). The device for the press door (3) may be used on conjunction with a filler slide (19) having an angle lever (20). Lever arm (22) effects retraction movement of a closure bolt (24 ) against the resistance of spring (26) to effect opening of the filler slide (19). The side of the closure bolt (24) engaging the housing (1), is chamfered so that the closure bolt (24) automatically snaps into a catch recess (18) on the press housing (1). The clampable closure device for the press door may be used in conjunction with a bag (35) mounted on the press door (3) and housing (1) to receive an ejected bale (37).
