  • Patent number: 11051465
    Abstract: A forestry harvester for delimbing a tree with an angular upper cutter and side cutters while advancing the tree by feed rollers, wherein when the feeding of the tree is stopped due to being incapable of cutting the limbs off, the angle-shaped upper cutter and the side cutters are moved relative to the tree with rotation of the feed rollers stopped to cut off the limbs of the tree therewith. The forestry harvester comprises a feed unit (1 or 100) including a pair of left-hand and right-hand clamp arms (8, 9 or 108, 109) and feed means (20 or 120), a chain saw box (22a) having a power chain saw (22), a delimbing unit (2) including an angle-shaped upper cutter (52) and a pair of cutter arms (26, 26) each having a side cutter (25), guide mechanism for guiding the delimbing unit for forward and rearward movement of the delimbing unit relative to the feed unit, and a hydraulic cylinder (47) actuated to move the delimbing unit (2) toward and away from the feed unit (1 or 100).

  • Patent number: 8919017
    Abstract: A cutting device for cutting a material grappled by a grapple member of a grapple device is mounted on one side wall portion of a bucket which is pivotable vertically with respect to an arm swung vertically and is rotatable on an axis in an extension direction of the arm. The cutting device includes a cutting blade which is positioned outside or inside a side wall of the bucket and is pivotally supported on a base end portion of the open mouth portion of the bucket to be pivoted in a direction along the side wall from a position separated from an opening edge of the bucket to a position along the side wall of the bucket. A hydraulic cylinder is provided on a rear surface portion of the bucket and is connected to a pivoting base portion of the blade.

  • Patent number: 7827766
    Abstract: A bulk material is compacted from its bulk state into a rectangular parallelepiped so that it can readily be wrapped with stretch film. To this end, a stretch film is wrapped spirally around a cylindrical skirt section having an open end while the stretch film is being moved towards the open end of the skirt section, thereby forming a cylinder of such stretch film. While the cylinder of wrapped film is being moved further, a pressed load material is pushed out of the skirt section to push the pressed load material into the cylinder of wrapped film fed past the open end of the skirt section. The wrapped cylindrical film is severed at positions spaced from opposite ends of the load material covered therewith or is sealed at these opposite ends.

  • Publication number: 20040123562
    Abstract: A simple operation winds film around, and thereby wraps therewith, a loadable object over its entire (six) surfaces. Film is wound spirally around the loadable object by revolving film feeders along a circular path about a horizontal axis while advancing the object through the circular path and along a path of the horizontal axis in one direction. After the loadable object is so spirally wrapped, it is rotated in a horizontal or vertical plane by an angle of 90 degrees. The loadable object is then advanced in the reverse direction again through the circular path while the film feeders are revolved as before to cause another film from the film feeders to be wound spirally around the loadable object. One film feeder may furnish a continuous strip of film, and another film feeder may furnish a continuous string of film formed by compression of such a strip of film.

  • Publication number: 20020020145
    Abstract: A simple operation winds film around and thereby wraps therewith a loadable object over its entire (six) surfaces. Film is wound spirally around the loadable object by revolving film feeders along a circular path about a horizontal axis while advancing the object past the inside of the circular path along a path of the horizontal axis in one direction. After the loadable object is so spirally wrapped, it is rotated in a horizontal or vertical plane by an angle of 90 degrees. The loadable object is then advanced in the reverse direction again past the inside of the circular path while the film feeders are revolved as before to cause another film from the film feeders to be wound spirally around the loadable object. One film feeder may furnish a continuous strip of film and another a continuous string of film reformed by compression from such a strip-like film.
