Abstract: A coupling apparatus for adjustably mounting modular tooling members having a base member releasably connectable to a slide mount wherein said base member is adjustably located along a predetermined path of travel defined by the slide mount. The base member is rotatably adjustable with respect to a midportion via a pair of matingly engaging contoured surfaces. In a preferred embodiment, the midportion may also be rotatably adjustable with respect to an end member along a second rotational axis. The midportion and the end member may be adjustably rotated through a pair of contoured surfaces substantially similar to that provided between the midportion and the base member. The end member provides an aperture for releasably connecting a boom rod to the end member. In an alternative embodiment, the midportion is integrally connected to the end member wherein the end member provides an aperture for matingly engaging a first spline rod. The first spline rod may be rotatably adjusted about a second rotational axis.

Abstract: A machine for wrapping cylindrical bales comprises an open-fronted wheeled frame for attachment to a towing vehicle, a roller extending transversely of the rear of the frame, and a pair of semi-rollers mounted at or adjacent the forward free end of each side member of the frame to be pivotal between an inoperative position extending fore and aft of the frame and an operative position extending transversely across the open front of the frame, in which position a bale within the frame is rotatably supported by the rear roller and the front semi-rollers. During this rotation of the bale, the bale is wrapped in stretchable film material by a wrapping mechanism on the machine, on completion of which wrapping the semi-rollers are raised relative to the frame to tip the wrapped bale rearwardly of the machine over the rear roller and onto the ground.
