Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A baling roller for a round agricultural baler includes a roller body with a jacket surface, which encloses the circumference and the length of the roller body. Furthermore, radially extending elevations are located, on the jacket surface, over the circumference and the length of the roller body. In order to optimize the pressing effect of the baling roller, the elevations on the jacket surface have a greater radial extension on the end areas of the roller body than in an area of the roller body, lying between the end areas.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A baling roller for a round agricultural baler, comprising: a roller body with a jacket surface, which encloses the circumference and the length of the roller body, and several longer radially extending elevations, which are located over the circumference and the length of the roller body on the jacket surface, wherein on end areas of the roller body, several shorter radially extending elevations have a greater radial extension than the several longer radially extending elevations, and the several shorter radially extending elevations alternate between the several longer radially extending elevations around the circumference, and wherein the several longer radially extending elevations alternately extend from different ends of the roller body over the length of the roller body, but terminate before reaching the other end of the roller body. 2. The baling roller of claim 1 , wherein the several longer radially extending elevations are formed by longer strip-shaped bands and the several shorter radially extending elevations are formed by shorter strip-shaped bands. 3. The baling roller of claim 2 , wherein the shorter strip-shaped bands have a greater thickness on the end areas of the roller body than the longer strip-shaped bands. 4. The baling roller of claim 2 , wherein the shorter and longer strip-shaped bands are formed on the end areas of the roller body, lying next to one another. 5. A round agricultural baler including a baling chamber comprising: a baling roller having a roller body with a jacket surface, which encloses the circumference and the length of the roller body, and several longer radially extending elevations, which are located over the circumference and the length of the roller body on the jacket surface, wherein on end areas of the roller body, several shorter radially extending elevations have a greater radial extension than the several longer radially extending elevations, and the several shorter radially extending elevations alternate between the several longer radially extending elevations around the circumference, and wherein the several longer radially extending elevations alternately extend from different ends of the roller body over the length of the roller body, but terminate before reaching the other end of the roller body. 6. The baler of claim 5 , wherein the several longer radially extending elevations are formed by longer strip-shaped bands and the several shorter radially extending elevations are formed by shorter strip-shaped bands. 7. The baler of claim 6 , wherein the shorter strip-shaped bands have a greater thickness on the end areas of the roller body than the longer strip-shaped bands. 8. The baler of claim 6 , wherein the shorter and longer strip-shaped bands are formed on the end areas of the roller body, lying next to one another. 9. The baling roller of claim 1 , wherein the several longer radially extending elevations have a constant height profile along the length of each longer radially extending elevations. 10. The baling roller of claim 1 , wherein the several shorter radially extending elevations have a constant height profile along the length of each shorter radially extending elevations. 11. The baler of claim 5 , wherein the several longer radially extending elevations have a constant height profile along the length of each longer radially extending elevations. 12. The baler of claim 5 , wherein the several shorter radially extending elevations have a constant height profile along the length of each shorter radially extending elevations.
