Abstract
Apparatus for binding bales by winding a filament, such as a wire or similar device thereabout, is provided with a twisting head which operates to twist together the ends of a binding filament after the filament has been wound around a bale. As the twisting operation is performed, tensile forces developed in the twisted filament may cause rupture of the filament. To avoid such rupture, the twisting head is resiliently mounted to enable absorption of the filament tensile forces thereby to avoid undesired rupture of the filament.
