| 20100236427 | Arrangement on Baler for Ergonomic Loading of Bale Wrapping Material Rolls - A baler for forming large cylindrical bales of crop material is equipped with a wrapping mechanism at the rear side of the baling chamber for introducing wrapping material into the baling chamber for wrapping the cylindrical bales. A storage bin for storing extra rolls of wrapping material extends vertically above the wrapping mechanism and contains a plurality of extra rolls of wrapping material. The storage bin is mounted for pivoting about a connection at a lower end region of the bin so that the bin may be lowered to a loading position in which roll compartments of the bin are at a height commensurate with that of the waist of an average adult person standing on the ground so that supply rolls may be easily moved from these compartments to an operating position within the wrapping mechanism and new rolls may be used to replenish the rolls used from these compartments without an operator having to lift the rolls above his or her waist. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100288140 | SENSOR FOR DETECTION OF WRAPPING ON BALE - A baling machine and method for forming a bale is disclosed. A sensor is positioned in the bailing chamber and is positioned to sense an area proximate the perimeter of the bale to determine if material is present, thereby determining if the bale is properly wrapped or not. When the bale is not properly wrapped, material is present in the area proximate the perimeter in which the sensor is active; causing the sensor to send a signal indicating that the bale is not properly wrapped. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20120204735 | Baler with an Improved Stripper Roll - Stationary plates are mounted in the spaces between the segments of a roll. At least one of the plates comprises a cam-like extension, protruding from the roll surface for preventing wrapping material from wrapping around the roll. | 08-16-2012 |
| 20130036921 | Agricultural Round Baler - An agricultural round baler has a press chamber with inlet and rear outlet for ejecting a bale. A pressing device in the press chamber causes the harvested crop to rotate. A pickup device and a conveying and cutting device are provided upstream of a storage chamber that extends to the inlet of the press chamber and receives harvested crop in a storage phase of the baler. An element that interrupts or releases flow of harvested crop from the storage chamber to the press chamber is provided and acted on by a control and governing device. The storage chamber is a flat shaping and pressing channel for the harvested crop conveyed in the storage phase of the baler operation. The channel has a height-adjustable end and a cross-section that at least temporarily in the storage phase tapers in flow direction of harvested crop to the press chamber. | 02-14-2013 |
| 20130239825 | ROTARY HAY WEDGE FOR ROUND BALERS - A baler with a pickup and a baling chamber with an inlet, the bale forming chamber having a first and second side panel, a plurality rollers rotatably disposed respectively about parallel axes. A bale edge engaging member is rotatably attached to the frame about an axis of rotation substantially parallel to said axes of the rollers, the bale edge engaging member being disposed adjacent an inside portion of one of the side panels in overlapping arrangement with a bale being formed in the baling chamber at least at times when a bale is being formed. The bale edge engaging member is spaced from the inlet to the bale forming chamber so as to not impede material entering the bale forming chamber from a pickup. Alternate embodiments have the rotatable bale edge engaging member/disc on a fixed axis adjacent the baling chamber when the bale is almost completed. | 09-19-2013 |

| 20090211466 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BUNDLING RECYCLABLE PAPER - A device for bundling newspapers for recycling, the device having a cylindrical handle member having two spaced apart apertures perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, the cylinder further having two axial slits formed in the ends thereof, the handle member cooperative with a length of cordage passing through one of the apertures in the handle member such that the cordage is of equal length from both sides of the aperture of the handle member, the cordage lengths arranged in an X configuration such that a bundle of newspapers are angularly positioned on the cordage so positioned, the handle member then drawn up over one corner of the bundle to approximately the center of the top of the bundle of newspapers, the opposing two ends of the cordage are then inserted through the second aperture in the handle member, drawn taut, and then wrapped about the opposing slits formed in the end of the handle member. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20110023730 | Dock strapper - The subject is a hand held device that is made of acetal plastic. The use of the device is to assist the guidance of the spool of poly strapping underneath the pallet and loop over the top of the freight to secure the freight onto a pallet to be tied down for shipping. The use of this device has not been seen or used in the shipping industry. Presently, dock personnel utilize broom handles or sticks to guide the strapping underneath the pallet. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20120031286 | Yard waste bundle frame - A means for securing parallel pieces of twine so that yard debris such as branches and trimmings can piled for bundling. The parallel pieces of twine are located such that, once the debris is piled perpendicularly between them, they are positioned for convenient tying around the debris to form a bundle for transporting and disposal. Each piece of cut twine is held in place at two points and is retained by an angled grasping mechanism that serves to pinch the twine, thus holding it secure enough to withstand the disturbances of debris being piled, yet not so constraining that the twine can't be easily removed for wrapping and tying. The roughly square frame can be folded into a substantially one dimensional form for storage. An optional twine cutting blade can be included on the frame for convenient severing of the twine from its packaged source. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120272837 | NET ROLL SUPPORT FOR STORAGE AND INSTALLATION IN BALER - A baler and method of using the improved baler to install net rolls into a net wrapping assembly in the baler. The baler includes a separable support tube configured to separate and reattach within the net roll during installation. The baler also includes a platform to support the net roll during installation. The platform also stores net rolls prior to installation. | 11-01-2012 |
