US Patent:

48873934, Dec 19, 1989

Filed:

Oct 7, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/254715

Inventors:

Jerome Cysewski - Billings MT

International Classification:

E05D 700

US Classification:

49385

Abstract:

A counterbalancing assembly for use with a gate vertically rotatable about an axle carried by a support structure. The counterbalancing assembly utilizes a coil spring having one end attached to the support structure and having its other end attached to one end of a cable. The other end of the cable is attached to the gate at a point spaced apart from the axle. This cable, intermediate its ends, is trained around a pulley. The pulley is positioned so that as the gate is lifted, the spring provides a resilient force assisting in the opening of the gate and, as the center of gravity of the gate crosses over the axle and the gate starts to fall on the other side of the axle, the spring provides a force counteracting this falling movement. With this arrangement, the coil spring also assists in closing the gate from the open position.

Abstract:

Baling apparatus including a support portion including a carriage section with a base section, a pair of upstanding sections and a hitch section; a forage pickup portion including a generally cylindrical rake rotatably disposed below the base section on a transverse horizontal shaft; a bale forming portion including a substantially rectangular chamber pivotally connected between the upstanding sections, a bale compressor slidably disposed transversely within the chamber and movably supported at each of its corners, pairs of arm members extending longitudinally of the base section in opposite directions from the chamber adjacent the lower end thereof, a pair of the arm members remote from the hitch section being pivotally connected to the chamber, a supporting member extending between the free ends of each pair of arm members, a pair of spaced drums rotatably disposed transversely of the base section above the forage pickup portion, a plurality of closely spaced flexible longitudinal strips extending between each of the supporting members and the rotatable drum closest thereto; a bale tying portion including a plurality of knotters movably supported on the base section adjacent the end thereof remote from the hitch section, a plurality of movable arcuate needles corresponding in number to the knotters, a twine tensioner disposed adjacent the knotters including a rod member mounted on pivotable supports extending upwardly from the base section; a bale discharging portion including a releasable retainer mounted on the chamber adjacent the free ends of pivotable arm members, an inclined section pivotally connected to the support portion, a control portion including hydraulic drives and hydraulic cylinders.

Appl. No.:

7/241910

Inventors:

Jerome Cysewski - Billings MT

International Classification:

E05D 700

US Classification:

49385

Abstract:

A vertically rotatable gate which incorporates a torsion beam strengthened by bracing stringers to form a compact, rigid foundation structure along the bottom of the gate for resisting torsional and transverse forces acting on the gate. Further, a separate carriage assembly may be used to mount gates of different sizes to a gate axle.
