Abstract
A baler comprises means for securing a completed bale of material and metering means for triggering the operation of the securing means. The metering means includes a pinion drivingly connectable with a trip arm. Relative driving movement between the trip arm and the pinion takes place on rotation of the pinion until the pinion engages a recess in the trip arm, at which point, operation of the securing means is triggered. The extent of the relative driving movement between the trip arm and the pinion is representative of a dimension of the bale being formed. The metering means further comprises a roller mounted on the trip arm at the entry of the recess for engaging the pinion when the pinion is at the point to enter the recess thereby breaking the driving connection between the pinion and the trip arm.
