Abstract: A windshield wiper blade holder has an auxiliary lever arm having first and second free ends. Each one of the free ends presses against the back of a windshield wiper blade for increasing the force applied to the windshield wiper blade when the curvature of a curved windshield increases. The auxiliary lever arm is preferrably hinged to the armature at a point between the hinging of the armature to a driving arm of a vehicle and an end of the armature to which a compensator is pivotably attached. Various compensators and secondary compensators can be pivotably attached to the armature for holding a wiper blade and for cooperating with the auxiliary arm for enhancing the force pressing the wiper blade against the convex windshield.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wiper arm assembly for motor vehicles, comprising an oscillating mounting head (1), a rod (2) rigidly secured to the mounting head (1), a slidable element (3) pivotally (12) secured to a channel (4) and arm extension (7) and capable of sliding on said rod (2). Inside the channel (4) spring means are provided which are capable of biasing the arm extension (7) towards the surface to be wiped. A stationary bar (8) is rigidly attached to the vehicle body and a movable bar (9) is pivotally secured (10) to the stationary bar (8) at one of its ends and pivotally secured (11) to the slidable element (3) at the other of its ends. When the mounting head (1) and said rod (2) are oscillating the movable bar (9) oscillates too and imparts a back and forth movement to the slidable element (3), to the channel (4) and to the arm extension ( 7). A radial movement is thus superimposed on the oscillating movement.

Abstract: A baling machine for forming large cylindrical bales of hay has a gate which can be raised to enable a campleted bale to pass under it for discharge. The bale initially rests on a horizontal support which is biased by a compression spring to swing to a discharge position in which it forms a ramp down which the bale rolls onto the ground. The support is maintained in the horizontal position by a abutment bar on the gate during the time that the gate is closed, but is released on the gate opening. In this way energy from the bale is not used for swinging the ramp, so the bale tends to roll further so that it is properly clear of the gate so as not to interfere with the closing of the gate.
