Abstract
In a baler wherein material to be baled is displaced along a path past a plurality of needles into a baling chamber and wherein tying mechanism periodically displaces the needles in a predetermined direction across the path, a pair of shields are provided flanking each of the needles and displaceable in the same direction as the needles by links connected to the tying mechanism so as to force a way through material in the passage for the needles and thereby prevent bending of these needles. The shields are formed as circle segments pivotal about an axis immediately below the path and below the axis about which the needles are pivoted.
