Bale Unrolling Apparatus

US Patent:
4498830, Feb 12, 1985
Filed:
Aug 17, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/523996
Inventors:
Shaun A. Seymour - New Holland PA
James G. Greiner - Leola PA

Abstract:
Apparatus for unrolling roll bales of crop material includes an apron having a horizontal section and an upwardly inclined section at each end of the horizontal section. A finger drum is located adjacent the intersection of the horizontal section and one of the upwardly inclined sections of the apron. The apron is movable in a direction to move a roll bale resting thereon into contact with the finger drum so that the roll bale will be gradually unrolled as it is rotated. Material removed from the roll bale will be carried up one of the inclined sections of the apron to a suitable height for delivery into a feed trough while the other inclined section of the apron prevents the bale from rolling off the apron.

Pickup Attachment For Harvesting Machines

US Patent:
4495756, Jan 29, 1985
Filed:
Aug 15, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/523476
Inventors:
James G. Greiner - Leola PA
Edward H. Priepke - Lancaster PA
Assignee:
Sperry Corporation - New Holland PA
International Classification:
A01D 8900
US Classification:
56364
Abstract:
A pickup attachment for use on crop harvesting machines wherein the pickup attachment includes a reel with a plurality of fingers connected to and rotatable about a central shaft in a predetermined path to pick up crop material. The pickup attachment is supported at one side by a wheel and at the other side by a roller positioned underneath the pickup attachment. The wheel is arranged with its center located substantially in alignment vertically with the axis of the reel central shaft while the roller is arranged with its center located rearward of the axis of the reel central shaft. This arrangement of the wheel and the roller allows the path of the reel fingers to follow the contour of the ground in proximity thereto when the pickup attachment is operated over rough or uneven terrain.
