DEVICE FOR FORMING AND KEEPING A BUNDLE OF TREES Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: lumbering equipment. SUBSTANCE: handling lever of the device is connected with one of the ends of the bearing beam for the restricted turn in the vertical plane. Its parts are disposed at an angle to each other which is less than the right one. The distance between their ends is equal to that one between the ends of the bearing beam. The second end of the beam is made with a lock to fix the lever position over the trees piled on the beam. The traction of the lever drive is made as a buffer. When the trees are formed into a bundle they fall on the binding rope and slide along one of the lever parts. EFFECT: in connection with the buffer-traction considerably lowers the dynamic loads on the machine with the reduced materials consumption. 2 dwg
