A harvester thresher is provided with a device for distributing grain-chaff mixture coming from a grain separating device over the whole width of a cutting mechanism which is generally substantially wider than the harvester thresher itself. For this purpose the housing which surrounds discs provided with distributing strips peripherally and at their one end side is provided with an additional air supply opening, so that in the region of the distributing strips a suction aspirates the grain-chaff mixture into the distributing device.

Harvester thresher with means for distributing grain-chaff mixture

This invention relates to a round baler for windrowed fibrous agricultural materials in which the bales are formed by a two-part frame having a generally cylindrical baling zone therein defined by side wall members on the frame and roller members extending between the side wall members and distributed around the frame. The frame includes a conventional pickup and conveying apparatus to move the agricultural materials from the ground into the entrance of the cylindrical baling zone. A suitable drive means, adapted to be coupled to a power takeoff of a draft vehicle or mounted on the baler, rotates the roller members to form a bale of the agricultural materials which are fed to the baling zone by the pickup. The frame parts are separated through hydraulic actuators to open the baling zone and deposit the round bale therefrom. The baler includes an improvement of hollow roller members formed of sheet metal rolled into a cylindrical form with intermediate supporting discs distributed across the interior of the cylindrical form and seal plates at the ends of the cylinder which mount stub shafts for journaling the roller members. Seal members are mounted on the side walls and these seal members project into the ends of the roller members to coact with the seal plates to insure that the materials in the baling zone do not enter the area between the roller members and the side walls. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the baler is modified by a special conveying means having oscillating tines driven with the roller members to advance materials from the pickup into the baling zone.

Round baler machine

A method of binding round bales by a rope guiding arm in a bale press which has a chamber and presses the bales while rotating them, the method comprises the steps of advancing the rope guiding arm from a rest position into a starting position before termination of the pressing step, inserting an initial portion of the rope into the pressure chamber of the press during the advancing step for engagement by and anchoring in the bale, thereafter returning the rope guiding arm back to the rest position thereof over a period of time which is longer than the time required for performing the advancing step so that the rope is withdrawn from the arm by the rotating bale and becomes convoluted about the same, and severing the rope when or shortly before the rope guiding arm reaches the rest position. The arrangement in accordance with the present invention includes the rope guiding arm operative for guiding the rope to be wound about a bale and movable between a rest position and a starting position, elements for performing the advancing, inserting and returning steps, and a device for severing the rope.
