Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"For a Horizontal Rack and Pinion Cotton Press; Zenos Bronson, Jesper county, Georgia, July 7.
Horizontal presses for packing cotton, are well known in the south. The improvement proposed by the present patentee, is, the forcing the follower of the press onward, by means of a rack and pinion. In the drawing, there are two large cog wheels, and three pinions, used, by which any desired power may be obtained.
The claim is to the application of the rack and pinion, in the way described, for the purpose of packing cotton into boxes, or bales."
The Journal of the Franklin Institute, Oct. 1829, pg. 249.
