Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A strapping system for an agricultural implement includes a strap feeding assembly positioned on a first side of a baling chamber and a rotating gripper assembly positioned on a second side of the baling chamber, opposite the first side. The strapping system also includes a track assembly configured to direct a strap from the strap feeding assembly to the rotating gripper assembly. The rotating gripper assembly is configured to grip the strap while the rotating gripper assembly is in a first orientation, and while the rotating gripper assembly is in a second orientation that enables crop flow in a rearward direction to draw the strap through the strap feeding assembly.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A strapping system for an agricultural implement comprising: a strap feeding assembly positioned on a first side of a baling chamber; a rotating gripper assembly positioned on a second side of the baling chamber, opposite the first side; a track assembly configured to direct a strap from the strap feeding assembly to the rotating gripper assembly; and a needle positioned on the second side of the baling chamber and included a gripping assembly configured to receive and to capture the strap, wherein the rotating gripper assembly is configured to grip the strap while the rotating gripper assembly is in a first orientation for receiving the strap, and while the rotating gripper is in a second orientation that enables crop flow in a rearward direction to draw the strap through the strap feeding assembly, and wherein the rotating gripper assembly is configured to transfer the strap to the gripping assembly of the needle while the rotating gripper assembly is in the second orientation. 2. The strapping system of claim 1 , wherein the track assembly is disposed within a slot formed on a material-facing surface of a forward plunger. 3. The strapping system of claim 2 , wherein the track assembly comprises a gated channel. 4. The strapping system of claim 1 , wherein the track assembly is disposed within a needle. 5. The strapping system of claim 1 , wherein the strap feeding assembly is configured to propel the strap through the track assembly to the rotating gripper assembly. 6. The strapping system of claim 1 , wherein the rotating gripper assembly comprises a semi-circular gripper configured to grip the strap.
