Patent number: 11142382Abstract: In a continuous roll of wrapping material for crops such as cotton or hay, or other objects, the individual wrapping segments are arranged so that a closing adhesive is part of a sealing accessory and otherwise protected by other structures of the sealing accessory until the point when this closing adhesive is to be exposed for securing a wrapping segment to itself, for example when encircling a subject bale harvested from a field, wherein adjacent wrapping segments separate from each other either at a point of weakness associated with perforations and the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: L.P. BROWN COMPANY, INC.Inventor: James L. Hayes

Patent number: 10787335Abstract: The current disclosure involves the arrangement and efficient deployment of self-adhering flexible sheet material in individual segments to encircle a bale of harvested material and isolate it from the wind, precipitation, and other elements as it remains in the field following the formation of the bale attendant with harvesting of the crop, until collected for further processing. For use with harvested crops such as cotton or hay, the individual wrapping segments further comprise adhering members, which cause a portion of a wrapping segment, generally found at what is considered a trailing end during a wrapping cycle, to releasably attach to adhering members on an opposite surface of the same wrapping segment.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: L.P. BROWN COMPANY, INC.Inventor: James L. Hayes

Patent number: 10710786Abstract: Improved object wrapping materials exhibiting a number of beneficial properties to overcome prior deficiencies are provided. Such properties include the inclusion of a separation interface overlay that allows for greater rigidity at the leading and trailing edges of such wraps. Also, the inclusion of shear-reducing wrap material portions is described, as well as recoil reduction structures within the leading edge regions. Furthermore, core adhesive additions allow for greater resiliency to the base wrap material as it unwinds therefrom, reducing potential waste wrap products by permitting greater amounts of wrap materials in use. Other considerations include the ability, through proper configuration designs, to position a wrap separation indicator within a certain range of distances from the trailing edge, thereby providing greater reliability of wrap application device disengagement during wrap application.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: L.P. BROWN COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Kenneth L. Porter, James L. Hayes

Patent number: 10264732Abstract: In a continuous roll of wrapping material for crops such as cotton or hay, the individual wrapping segments are arranged so that a permanent adhesive is protected until the point when this adhesive is to be exposed for securing a wrapping segment to itself, encircling a subject bale located in and harvested from a field, wherein the contiguous wrapping segments separate from each other either at a point of weakness associated with perforations and the like, or as overlaid segments that slidably come apart.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: L.P. BROWN COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Kenneth L. Porter, James L. Hayes

Patent number: 10257986Abstract: A continuous roll of wrapping material for crops such as baled cotton wherein wrapping segments are set off by spaced transverse lines of slits or scoring for predictable separation during the wrapping process. Protection of the transverse lines and sealing assistance may be included by the addition of an adhesive layer and a V-fold over the transverse lines.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2013Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: L.P.

Patent number: 4179030Abstract: A dispenser reel and container are integrated into a unitary foldable structure which when folded into an assembled configuration, is suitable for the shipping and dispensing of a spool of wire, cable, and the like, that may be wound on a spindle or other hollow cylindrical core device. In one embodiment, the invention is fabricated out of flat corrugated paperboard that is easily cut to appropriate dimensions and provided with fold creases or score lines that make it readily foldable around the packaged spool of cable or the like. In said one embodiment, the cut corrugated paperboard comprises two interconnected substantially rectangular portions and two interconnected substantially circular portions, each circular portion having partially cut fold-out wing portions. The substantially rectangular portions, which form two of the walls of the container, have margin portions along their perimeters which form the remaining four walls of the container when they are folded into place.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1978Date of Patent: December 18, 1979Assignee: Eltra CorporationInventors: James L.
