Abstract: A baler for hay, straw, grass, and similar feed materials is provided. The baler communicates compressed material from a vertically inclined compression passage formed in between opposing conveyer belts to a central area of a baling chamber for baling. A plunger within the baling chamber can reciprocate in two directions to form bales which are tied and discharged from both ends of the baling chamber.

Abstract: Labels or other segments or sheet material are wrapped around containers or other articles and adhered thereto by adhesive at the ends of the label. At each end pressure is applied by a vacuum drum acting on the end of the label to adhere it to the container. In between the container is caused to spin end is moved about the axis of the vacuum drum by direct contact of the drum with the container.

Abstract: A labeling machine for labeling a plurality of containers is disclosed. The labeling machine includes a loading mechanism that sequentially receives containers and discharges containers in a spaced relationship. A star wheel has a plurality of receptacles disposed about the periphery of the star wheel, and is rotatable around an axis of rotation. The star wheel sequentially receives containers from the loading mechanism. The receptacles are pivotally secured to the star wheel for limited radial and pivotal movement. The receptacles have a leading end and a trailing end relative to the direction of rotation of the star wheel. A label dispenser including a label holder is disposed adjacent the periphery of the star wheel. The label has a decorated side facing the dispenser and an adherent side facing the star wheel.
