  • Patent number: 11950540
    Abstract: A twine knotter (10) for forming two knots (16, 33) in a pair of twine strands comprising: a drive pulley (20), a bill hook (9) rotatably driven by the drive pulley (20) about a knotter axis (K) to form two successive knots (16, 33) in the pair of twine strands (5, 7), a twine holding device (18) for clamping the pair of twine strands (5, 7) between a first clamping element (21) and a second clamping element (22), and a twine knife (13) for cutting the pair of twine strands (5, 7). The second clamping element is driven rotatably about a twine holder axis (G) by the drive pulley such that the rotatable second clamping element completes two rotations for one rotation of the drive pulley, and the twine holder axis (G) and the knotter axis (K) enclose an angle of less than 45° with one another.

  • Patent number: 11856894
    Abstract: A twine knotter including a bill hook for forming a knot in a twine, a twine holding device for clamping twine with a twine holder and a twine disk rotatable relative thereto, the twine disk having recesses over its circumference for receiving twine, a twine feeding device for feeding twine over the bill hook into the twine holding device, and a twine knife for cutting twine. The twine disk has at least two pairs of recesses over the circumference, each pair of recesses having a front recess in a direction of rotation of the twine disk for receiving a single twine strand or a single twine strand pair and a rear recess for receiving a further single twine strand or said single twine strand pair.

  • Patent number: 11528849
    Abstract: A twine knotter arrangement for knotting twine to tie a bale, the twine knotter arrangement including: a twine knotter (1), a deflection roller (41) adjustable relative to the twine knotter (1), via which twine (42, 43) coming from the bale is deflected in the direction of the twine knotter (1), and an adjusting device (54) for adjusting the position of the deflection roller (41) in dependence on the force (FR) exerted by the twine (42, 43) on the deflection roller (41).
