<p>The present invention is directed to a baler incorporating improved material hold-down means and bale ejecting means. The improvement of the invention not only provided material hold-down members which are retractable for bale ejection, but which also assure that the material hold-down members will be retracted before a tied bale can be ejected. In general, the above features are provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention by mounting on the rear wall of the baler a plurality of pivotally supported and relatively large dog members which normally hang or are suspended in a retracted position The rearward end of each flexible ejecting member is provided with a coupler which is adapted to engage the adjacent dog member when the baler is being used to compact material. The weight of the coupler and the flexible ejecting member is effective to bias the dog member resiliently inwardly into the compacting chamber so that the dog member effectively restrains the compacted material within the chamber. When each ejecting member is uncoupled from the dog member for coupling the ejecting member to the platen, the dog member automatically pivots to its retracted position so that it does not interfere with removing the bale by elevating the ejecting members.</p> |
