| 20110308404 | MODULAR STRAPPING HEAD WITH HEAT BLADE - A modular strapping head assembly includes a body, a weld head assembly, a drive motor configured to control the weld head assembly to grip and seal strapping material, a transformer assembly, and a single power interface configured to direct power from a source to the drive motor and the transformer assembly. The transformer assembly is configured to supply current to the weld head assembly and the weld head assembly is configured to seal a lagging end of the strapping material and a leading end of the strapping material together. Each of the transformer assembly, the drive motor, the weld head assembly, and the power interface are mounted to the body and removable from the strapping machine as an integral unit. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20130055910 | BALE PRESS - A bale press includes a pressing channel in which a piston is displaceable for forming a bale from crop material supplied to the pressing channel. The bale press includes a yarn supply and a knotter device arranged at a side of the pressing channel. The knotter device has a first holder for releasably holding an end portion of a yarn, a yarn deflecting member and a knotter beak. The yarn extends between the first holder and the yarn supply across the deflecting member and a side of the bale facing away from the piston. The knotter beak ties a knot in a first stretch of the yarn extending between the first holder and the deflecting member. A second holder holds the yarn at the deflecting member in an initial phase of bale formation. | 03-07-2013 |
| 20130118366 | KNOTTER MECHANISM FOR CROP BALERS AND THE LIKE - Knotter operation on a crop baler or the like is controlled electronically by a programmable electronic control unit. Rotary and/or linear electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic drive motors are utilized to drive the knotting components and are controlled by the electronic control unit. | 05-16-2013 |
| 20130284035 | SEALING HEAD FOR MODULAR STEEL STRAPPING MACHINE - A sealing head for a strapping machine welds steel strapping material to itself in an end-to-end weld. The sealing head includes a body, a drive, an end grip at the inlet to the body, a cutter, a grip clamp and a loop grip downstream of the end grip. The loop grip is carried on a carriage that is movable in a direction along the strap path. A leading end of strap is secured by the end grip and a loop portion of the strap is gripped by the loop grip and severed by the cutter to form a loop end. The loop end is secured by the grip clamp. The loop grip carriage moves the loop end toward the leading end as current is passed though the loop end and the leading end to weld the ends to one another in an end-to-end weld. | 10-31-2013 |
| 20130327234 | Blower Arrangement For An Agricultural Baler - An agricultural baler includes a chassis, a knotter arrangement and a blower arrangement. The knotter arrangement is carried by the chassis, and includes a plurality of knotter assemblies positioned across the working width. The blower arrangement includes a housing and a plurality of centrifugal fans positioned within the housing. Each fan is associated with a different subset of the plurality of knotter assemblies. The housing is configured to concurrently direct a first portion of a flow from the plurality of fans toward the knotter assemblies, and a second portion of the flow from the plurality of fans toward a different part of the chassis. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20140033935 | BINDING DEVICE - A binding device includes a thermal head, a transport portion, a heater, a bonding portion, and a control portion. The thermal head heats an ink of an ink ribbon and transfers the ink to a tape. The transport portion transports the tape to which the ink has been transferred. The heater heats an adhesive that coats the tape. The bonding portion bonds the tape to an edge portion of a sheet stack including a plurality of sheets by bringing the adhesive with which the tape is coated, and which has been heated by the heater, into contact with the edge portion of the sheet stack. The control portion controls the heating temperatures of the thermal head and the heater such that the heating temperature that is applied to the ink by the thermal head is higher than the heating temperature that is applied to the adhesive by the heater. | 02-06-2014 |
| 20140202346 | BALER AND METHOD OF CLEANING A BALER - A baler for baling a fibrous material includes a cleaning system for removing debris from the baler in a plurality of locations, the cleaning system including an air blower and a conduit system including an inlet and a plurality of outlets for delivering air from the blower to the plurality of locations. An air flow control mechanism is provided for controlling delivery of air from the inlet to the plurality of outlets, the air flow control mechanism being configured to deliver the air alternately to one or more of the outlets. | 07-24-2014 |
| 20150013555 | BAND FASTENING TOOL - A band fastening tool in which a bearing of a main body is provided with a protrusion, the rotary shaft is provided with a cut-out engaged with the protrusion, a winding shaft of a rotary lever is formed into a cam shape having a base shaft portion and a projecting portion, the rotary lever is provided with an insertion hole wall in which a band insertion hole is formed, a bottom plate of the main body has an engagement claw, an upper wall of the rotary lever is provided with a claw receiver engaged with the engagement claw, as the rotary lever is rotated to a closing position, winding of the band along the base shaft portion and fixing of the band between the bottom plate of the main body and the projecting portion of the winding shaft are promoted. | 01-15-2015 |
| 20150305246 | TUCKER FINGER OVER-CENTER PROTECTION - A knotter table of a baler includes a plurality of tucker finger assemblies which each aid in tying together ends of a set of twine strands so as to tie a loop of twine about a bale formed in a baling chamber. Each tucker finger assembly includes a tucker finger defined by a plate pivotally mounted alongside a baling chamber needle slot for being pivoted horizontally between a standby position, wherein the tucker finger is entirely to one side of the needle slot, and a working position, wherein the tucker finger is pivoted across the needle slot. A stop arrangement is provided for being engaged by the tucker finger or by an operating linkage coupled to the tucker finger in the event that the tucker finger pivots a preselected distance beyond a desired working range so as to prevent the operating linkage from going over-center and causing linkage damage. | 10-29-2015 |
| 20150307216 | Binding Apparatus - Provided is a binding apparatus with which the quality of an object to be bound can be ensured and the burden on an operator can be reduced. A binding apparatus includes a pressure bonding mechanism in which pressure is applied by a pair of pressure bonding plates | 10-29-2015 |
