Abstract
A safety device for stopping the bale plucking operation of a bale plucker provided with a detecting device for detecting the existence of metallic substances contained in a fiber bale. The detecting device is disposed at a position along a path of reciprocating movement of the fiber bale back and forth over the working position of a plucking roller of the bale plucker and the driving mechanism of the bale plucker is capable of being instantly stopped by a signal issued from the detecting device upon detection of a metallic substance in the fiber bale so that carrying of the fiber bale to the plucking roller can be prevented.
