Patent number: 7861962Abstract: A tensioning device is described for mounting between a knotter and a twine supply roll in a baler. The device comprises a spring biased tensioning arm 210 for taking up slack in the twine 216 and a clamp 220 for gripping the twine 216 at a location between the tensioning arm 210 and the supply roll. In the invention, the clamp 220 is coupled to the tensioning arm 210 in such a manner that the force applied by the clamp 220 to grip the twine 216 varies with the position of the tensioning arm 210.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: CNH America LLCInventors: Adrianus Naaktgeboren, Kris Eylenbosch

Patent number: 7779755Abstract: A square baler has an ejector system including a shuttle assembly mounted in a wall of the bale case for reciprocation parallel to the direction of movement of the bales in the bale case. A least one dog mounted on the shuttle assembly engages in the last bale in the bale case positioned nearest the discharge outlet and advances the bale incrementally in response to reciprocation of the shuttle assembly. A second shuttle assembly is mounted in a wall of the bale case for reciprocation independently of the first shuttle assembly. The second shuttle assembly has at least one dog to engage in the next-to-last bale in the bale case. By selecting which of the shuttle assemblies to activate, an operator may elect to eject only the last base in the bale case or the last two bales.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2009Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: CNH America LLCInventors: Stefan De Rycke, Adrianus Naaktgeboren, Ronald Biebuyck

Publication number: 20090249968Abstract: A square baler having a bale case within which crop is compacted by means of a plunger and a discharge outlet at one end of the bale case is provided and an auxiliary ejector system for advancing bales towards the discharge outlet independently of the movement of the compacting plunger. The ejector system comprises a shuttle assembly mounted in a wall of the bale case for reciprocation parallel to the direction of movement of the bales in the bale case. A least one dog mounted on the shuttle assembly engages in the last bale in the bale case positioned nearest the discharge outlet and advances the bale incrementally out of the discharge outlet in response to reciprocation of the shuttle assembly. In the invention, a second shuttle assembly is mounted in a wall of the bale case for reciprocation independently of the first shuttle assembly. The second shuttle assembly has at least one dog to engage in the next-to-last bale in the bale case.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2009Publication date: October 8, 2009Applicant: CNH AMERICA LLCInventors: Stefan De Rycke, Adrianus Naaktgeboren, Ronald Biebuyck
