Abstract: A round bale wrapper for packing feed, like green forage and straw, intended for ensilage of the feed and conservation of the straw. The round bale is made to turn both about a substantially horizontal and a substantially vertical axis. The round bale wrapper comprises a round bale table, a chassis with round bale table being tiltable relative to the latter, and a packing sheet dispensing means which is externally provided relative to round bale table. For continuous automatic packing of round bales the round bale wrapper comprises means for clamping and cutting sheet which is located between the round bale, and the sheet dispensing means. At a predetermined point of time or tilting angle during the tilting movement of round bale table clamping and cutting means operate sequentially. Upon cutting of the sheet the latter is still firmly held in the clamping means, and the sheet is held during at least one revolution of the round bale table as a first step of packing the next round bale.
Abstract: The invention relates to a stretching means for braking a web of plastic sheet which is pulled off a reel. The stretching means comprises an arm (4) which is mounted to be slewable about an axis (5) extending in parallel with the axis (3) of said plastic sheet reel, a first roller (6) which is pivotally mounted on arm (4) and is intended to be made to rest against reel (2). Furthermore, the stretching means comprises a second roller (7) which is pivotally mounted on arm (4) to receive a loop of plastic sheet web (12) which is pulled off said reel (2) to cause said second roller (7) to be pulled towards said reel (2), and a drive connection (8) between said two rollers (6,7) causing the plastic sheet web to be stretched in zone (13) between the plastic sheet reel and the looped roller (7) when said web is pulled off the reel.
