Abstract
Abstract A time saving process of wrapping and strapping bales of fiber such as cotton, man-made fibers and the like. While the bale is held compressed in the baling apparatus such as a press, a first strap or tie is placed about the bale adjacent an end of the bale. The wrapping or bagging is tucked about the first applied tie while the remaining ties are applied starting at the opposite end of the bale. As soon as the wrapping is tucked about the first applied tie the operator tucks the wrapping about the tie which has been applied to said opposite end, allowing time for the application of the intermediate ties while the operator is tucking the bagging about said second tie, thus reducing the overall time required to secure the bale.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
The process of securing wrapping material about bales of fibers while under compression in a press or the like comprising: a. securing at least one strap about the bale adjacent one end thereof, b. subsequent to the step set forth in (a) above securing at least one strap about the bale adjacent the opposite end thereof, c. tucking the wrapping material about the first applied strap, d. tucking the wrapping material about the second applied strap, e. securing intermediate straps about the bale, and f. releasing the pressure on the bale whereby the bale expands thus to tighten said straps.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
The process of securing wrapping material about bales of fibers while under compression in a press or the like comprising: a. securing at least one strap about the bale adjacent one end thereof, b. subsequent to the step set forth in (a) above securing at least one strap about the bale adjacent the opposite end thereof, c. tucking the wrapping material about the first applied strap, d. tucking the wrapping material about the second applied strap, e. securing intermediate straps about the bale, and f. releasing the pressure on the bale whereby the bale expands thus to tighten said straps.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process of claim 1 in which the intermediate straps are applied while the wrapping is being tucked about the said second applied strap.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
64 words
The process of securing wrapping material about bales of fibers and the like while under compression comprising: a. securing bands about the bale in sequence with a traversing banding machine, b. said sequence being that at least one intermediate band is secured after the bands at either end of the bale have been secured, and c. tucking the wrapping material about the end bands.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
The process of securing wrapping material about bales of fibers and the like while under compression comprising: a. securing bands about the bale in sequence with a traversing banding machine, b. said sequence being that at least one intermediate band is secured after the bands at either end of the bale have been secured, and c. tucking the wrapping material about the end bands.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
78 words
The process of securing wrapping material about bales of fibers in a baling press comprising: a. securing bands about the bale in sequence with a traversing banding machine, b. said sequence being first to secure at least one band at one end of the bale, c. said sequence being such that at least one intermediate band is secured after bands at both ends of bale have been secured, and d. tucking said wrapping material about the end bands.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
78 words
The process of securing wrapping material about bales of fibers in a baling press comprising: a. securing bands about the bale in sequence with a traversing banding machine, b. said sequence being first to secure at least one band at one end of the bale, c. said sequence being such that at least one intermediate band is secured after bands at both ends of bale have been secured, and d. tucking said wrapping material about the end bands.
