Method of baling material
Abstract
Abstract A METHOD OF BALING MATERIAL WHEREIN THE MATERIAL IS PARTIALLY COMPRESSED AS IT IS FORCED INTO A TUNNEL. A RECIPROCATING PISTON SLIDABLY RECEIVED WITHIN THE TUNNEL COMPLETES THE COMPRESSION OF THE MATERIAL INTO A BLADE. A BAND WHICH EXTENDS ABOUT THE BLADE TO ENABLE ONE END THEREOF TO ACT AS A BULKBY THE PISTON. A MOVABLE WALL MEMBER PRESSES AGAINST EACH COMPLETED BALE TO ENABLE ONE END THEREOF TO ACT AS A BULKHEAD AGAINST WHICH THE MATERIAL IS COMPRESSED BY THE PISTON AS A NEW BALE IS FORMED WITHIN THE TUNNEL. A PASSAGEWAY FORMED IN THE PISTON FACE ENABLES A BAND FASTENING DEVICE TO PASS BETWEEN THE PISTON FACE AND A PREVIOUSLY FORMED BALE IN ORDER TO FASTEN THE BAND WHILE THE BALE IS MAINTAINED COMPRESSED BY THE PISTON.
