Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
At least part of the side of the crossbeam facing the knotter is inclined at an angle of more than ninety degrees to the upper wall of the baling chamber in order to permit a smooth flow of air from the fan past the knotter.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A square baler comprising a baling chamber with four side walls, a support frame surrounding walls of the baling chamber, at least one knotter mounted on an outer side of the upper wall of the baling chamber adjacent a crossbeam of the support, and a fan disposed on an opposite of the knotter from the crossbeam to blow away crop material from the vicinity of the knotter, at least part of the side of the crossbeam facing the knotter is inclined at an angle of more than ninety degrees to the upper wall of the baling chamber is order to permit a smooth flow of air from the fan past the knotter, wherein the crossbeam is shaped to provide an additional air flow passage between an underside of the crossbeam and the upper wall of the baling chamber. 2. The square baler of claim 1 , wherein a casing is provided to support the fan and to encase the knotter so to guide the air flow from the fan over the knotter. 3. The square baler of claim 2 , wherein the casing comprises two hinged doors that may be opened to provide access to the knotters. 4. The square baler of claim 3 , wherein at least one fan for blowing air over the knotters is mounted on one of the doors.
