Description

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en fremgangsmåde til opbygning af et beskyttet lager af halm eller andet vegetabilsk materiale på jorden, som anført i krav 1's indledning. Dette er traditionelt opnået ved at udsætte det løse halmmateriale for en ballepresningsbehandling og derefter sammenstille ballerne i en stak eller en række, der dækkes med formstoffolie.The present invention relates to a method of building a protected stock of straw or other vegetable material on the ground, as set forth in the preamble of claim 1. This is traditionally accomplished by exposing the loose straw material to a bale pressing treatment and then assembling the bales into a stack or row covered with plastic wrap.

Navnlig til oplagring af kortskåret vegetabilsk materiale til ensilering er der allerede udviklet en fremgangsmåde, ved hvilken det løse materiale skæres, og derefter trykkes ind i en vid slange af formstof-folie, således at materialet herved vil blive endnu bedre beskyttet samtidigt med, at det er fuldstændig indelukket i et tæt afdækningsmateriale, hvilket er en nødvendighed for en god ensilering. Ved denne fremgangsmåde, der eksemplevis er angivet i DK-B-135971, er en kørbar snittemaskine ved sit udløb forsynet med et bredt "pølsehorn", på hvilket der er anbragt eh sammenrynket, lang og bred formstofslange, således at det kortsnittede materiale afleveres fra skæremaskinen ind i den ydre, lukkede ende af denne slange. Denne ende er støttet af et fast vægelement, som er forbundet med skæremaskinen ved hjælp af kabler, der afrulles fra kabeltromler på denne maskine. Det snittede materiale presses bagud ind i folieslangen ved hjælp af roterende snegle eller andre komprimerings-midler, hvorved der opbygges et vist tryk i afgangsmaterialet mellem skæremaskinens udløb og det nævnte støttende vægelement. Når dette tryk har nået en ønsket størrelse, tillader friktionsbremsede organer på de nævnte kabeltromler, at der afrulles yderligere kabel, hvorved støtteelementet kan bevæge sig bagud under påvirkning af den fortsatte materiale tilførsel til slangen, og herved vil denne modsvarende blive aftrukket fra "pølsehornet". I praksis. vil dog støtteelementet ikke blive bevæget bagud, i hvert fald ikke efter at der er dannet en første, kort pølselængde, fordi den meget tykke pølse ikke vil være let glidelig på jorden; i stedet bevæges skære- og kompakteringsmaskinen fremad, således at den efterlader den fremstillede pølse ubevægeligt på j orden.In particular, for storing short-cut vegetable material for silage, a method has already been developed by which the loose material is cut, and then pressed into a wide hose of plastic film so that the material will be even better protected at the same time as is completely enclosed in a dense covering material, which is a necessity for a good silage. In this method, as exemplified in DK-B-135971, an executable cutting machine is provided at its outlet with a wide "sausage horn", on which is placed a wrinkled, long and wide plastic hose, so that the short cut material is delivered from cutting machine into the outer, closed end of this hose. This end is supported by a fixed wall element, which is connected to the cutting machine by means of cables unrolled from cable drums on this machine. The cut material is pressed back into the foil hose by means of rotary augers or other compression means, thereby creating a certain pressure in the discharge material between the cutter outlet and said supporting wall element. When this pressure has reached a desired size, friction-braking means on said cable drums allow for additional cable to be rolled out, thereby allowing the support member to move backward under the influence of the continued material supply to the hose, and thereby correspondingly being pulled from the "sausage horn" . In practice. however, the support member will not be moved backward, at least not after a first short sausage length is formed, because the very thick sausage will not be easily slidable on the ground; instead, the cutting and compacting machine is moved forward so that it leaves the sausage produced motionless on the ground.

Det er for denne kendte fremgangsmåde karakteristisk, at komprimeringen af materialet foregår på kontinuerlig måde, nemlig ved at nyt materiale hele tiden presses mod forenden af materialepølsen, hvis anden ende er støttet af det nævnte støtteelement, der nok er stationært, men forbundet med skære- og kompakteringsmaskinen gennem stadigt forøgede længder af strakte kabler.It is characteristic of this known method that the compression of the material takes place in a continuous manner, namely that new material is constantly pressed against the front end of the material sausage, the other end of which is supported by said supporting element, which is probably stationary but connected to the cutting element. and the compacting machine through ever-increasing lengths of stretched cables.

Opfindelsen har til formål at angive en forbedret fremgangsmåde til opbygning af et lager af komprimeret vegetabilsk ma±eriale, og opfindelsen bygger på den erkendelse, at opbygningen af lageret i en lang og tyk formstofslange, jfr. den nævnte fremgangsmåde, er fordelagtigt i adskillige henseender, medens den måde og de midler, som ved den kendte fremgangsmåde benyttes ved indføringen af materialet i slangen, kan simplificeres væsentligt.The invention has for its object to provide an improved method for building a stock of compressed vegetable material and the invention is based on the recognition that the construction of the stock in a long and thick plastic hose, cf. said method is advantageous in several respects, while the manner and means used in the known method for introducing the material into the tubing can be substantially simplified.

Ved opfindelsen udnyttes et "pølsehorn" ligesom ved den kendte fremgangsmåde, men det vegetabilske materiale presses ikke ind i denne tunnel ved nogen kontinuerlig komprimering imod trykket af et bageste modtrykselement; i stedet indføres materialet gennem pølsehornet på intermitterende måde i form af allerede forud komprimerede balleenheder, der blot lægges i en række, medens pølsehornet bevæges fremad tilsvarende intermitterende, således at de nytilførte baller sue- cessivt indføres i den fra pølsehornet aftrukne slange, således som det er nærmere specificeret i den kendetegnende del af krav 1. Komprimeringen af materialet kan således udføres ved anvendelse af allerede eksister rende, kørende ballepresser, og der skal ikke udføres nogen .·:komprimering inde i slangen, dvs. det nævnte støttevægelement såvel som et specielt komprimeringsudstyr vil være overflødigt. Det er tilstrækkeligt, at man successivt placerer en ny, allerede på sædvanlig måde presset balle ved forenden af rækken af sådanne baller, idet man bevæger pølsehornet fremad forbi den tilføjede balle for indeslutning af denne i den herved fra pølsehornet aftrukne formstofslange. Dette arbejde kan udføres på enkel måde ved hjælp af allerede eksisterende traktor forsynet med et passende, sædvanligt ballebæreudstyr såsom en frontlæsser, hvorved traktoren i sig selv kan anvendes til den nødvendige bevægelse af både ballerne og pølsehornet, dvs. også til aftrækning af yderligere slangemateriale fra pølsehornet.In the invention, a "sausage horn" is utilized as in the known method, but the vegetable material is not pressed into this tunnel by any continuous compression against the pressure of a posterior backpressure element; instead, the material is introduced through the sausage horn in an intermittent manner in the form of already pre-compressed bale units which are simply inserted in a row, while the sausage horn is moved forward correspondingly intermittently, so that the newly fed bales are successively introduced into the tube drawn from the sausage horn, such as the is further specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. Thus, the compression of the material can be carried out using existing, existing balers, and no compression shall be carried out. said support wall element as well as a special compression equipment will be superfluous. It is sufficient that one successively places a new, already conventionally pressed bale, at the front end of the row of such bales, moving the sausage horn forward past the added bale for enclosing it in the plastic hose thus withdrawn from the sausage horn. This work can be accomplished in a simple manner by means of preexisting tractors equipped with a suitable, usual baling carrier such as a front loader, whereby the tractor itself can be used for the necessary movement of both the bales and the sausage horn, ie. also for extracting additional snake material from the sausage horn.

Slangelængden øges således gradvis og trinvis til fuldstændig indeslutning af rækken af de forud pressede baller, som successivt tilføres ballerækken, uden at der frembringes nogen form for skadeligt træk i slangen, og uden at der skal gøres brug for nogen form for modtryksmidler .The length of the hose is thus gradually and incrementally increased to completely enclose the row of the pre-pressed bales which are successively supplied to the bale row without producing any harmful traits in the hose and without the need for any counterpressure means.

Opfindelsen omfatter tillige et til gennemførelse af fremgangsmåden egnet anlæg, jfr. krav 7, hvilket anlæg er ejendommeligt ved det i krav 7's kendetegnende del omhandlede.The invention also includes a system suitable for carrying out the method, cf. claim 7, which is peculiar to the characterizing part of claim 7.

Det i fig. 1 og 2 viste apparat udgør en bevægelig enhed 2 og består af en stor og cirkulær cylindrisk udformet formkanål 4 i lighed med et "pølsehorn" med en konisk indførselsende 6. Hornet 4,6 er fastmonteret på et stel 8, der understøttes af hjul 10. hvoraf i det mindste det ene er forsynet med en hjulbremse og en tilhørende aktiveringsstang 12. Fortil har stellet en opstående rammedel 14, til hvilken der er fastgjort et ringlegeme 16, der tjener som eneste befæstigelsesorgan for hornet 4,6, idet horndelen 4 strækker sig frit bagud fra ringlegemet 16 uden nogen anden understøtning. Oversidedelen af den opstående ramme 14 kan eventuelt være forsynet med fremstående øjedele 18, hvilket er nærmere omtalt nedenfor.The FIG. 1 and 2 constitute a movable unit 2 and consist of a large and circular cylindrical shaped cannula 4, similar to a "sausage horn" with a tapered insertion end 6. The horn 4.6 is fixed to a frame 8 supported by wheels 10 at least one of which is provided with a wheel brake and an associated actuating rod 12. Previously, the upright has an upright frame member 14, to which is attached an annular body 16, which serves as the only fastening means for the horn 4.6, the horn part 4 extending retract freely from the ring member 16 without any other support. Optionally, the upper portion of the raised frame 14 may be provided with prominent eye portions 18, which are discussed in more detail below.

På ringlegemet 16 er anbragt et antal bagudragende arme 20, som ved deres bagende har en tryksko 24, hvormed de elastsik trykkes imod den bageste ydersidedel af horndelen 4, nemlig ved fjederpåvirkning fra selve armen 20, der i øvrigt selv er anbragt i nogen afstand u-den for ydersiden af hornet 4.On the annular body 16 are arranged a number of rearwardly extending arms 20, which at their rear end have a pressure shoe 24, whereby they are elastically pressed against the rear outer part of the horn part 4, namely by spring action from the arm 20 itself, which is otherwise located at some distance itself. -the outside of the horn 4.

Som vist i fig. 3 forbereder man enheden 2 til brug ved at trække en formstofslange 24 uden på horndelen 4, idet der herved på denne del kan anbringes en land slangelængde i sammenrynket tilstand, som vist ved 26, idet den ydre endedel af slangen er tilbundet eller på anden måde lukket som vist ved 28. Det vil forstås, at den med 24 betegnede slange herefter vil kunne aftrækkes fra horndelen 4 med en vis friktion på grund af trykskoene 22.As shown in FIG. 3, the unit 2 is prepared for use by pulling a plastic hose 24 outside of the horn portion 4, whereby a land hose length may be placed in the crimped state, as shown at 26, the outer end portion of the hose being bent or otherwise closed as shown at 28. It will be appreciated that the hose designated by 24 will then be able to be pulled from the horn portion 4 with some friction due to the pressure shoes 22.

Enheden 2 placeres på et hensigtsmæssigt sted på jorden, og bremsestangen 12 aktiveres til bremsning af det eller de tilhørende hjul 10, idet hjulene 10 i øvrigt kun anvendes til almindelig transport af enheden 2. En traktor 30, der arbejder i marken og er forsynet med et passende balleløfterredskab 32, f.eks. på en frontlæsser 34, udnyttes til successivt at opsamle allerede pressede baller 36 fra marken og til-bringning af ballerne til enheden 2. Redskabet 32 kan typisk omfatte et antal bærespyd 38, som er fremad-ragende fra en bagramme 40.The unit 2 is placed in an appropriate location on the ground and the brake rod 12 is actuated for braking the associated wheel (s) 10, the wheels 10 being otherwise only used for general transport of the unit 2. A tractor 30 operating in the field and provided with a suitable bale lifting tool 32, e.g. on a front loader 34, is utilized to successively collect already pressed bales 36 from the field and attach the bales to the unit 2. The implement 32 may typically comprise a plurality of supporting spears 38 projecting from a rear frame 40.

Diameteren af horndelen er lidt større end standarddiameteren af moderne, store ''rundballer" 36, således som disse frembringes af moderne ballepressere, og i første omgang kan derfor en sådan balle 36 let indføres gennem hornet 4,6 ind i den lukkede ende af slangen 24, jfr. fig. 3. Da enheden 2 står på jorden på et eller flere bremsede hjul.10, vil resultatet af ballegennemføringen ved hjælp af traktoren 30 være, at den lukkede ende af slangen 24 tvinges bagud fra horndelen 4 under aftrækning af en tilsvarende længde af slangematerialet 24 fra hornet 4. Resultatet vil være som vist til venstre i fig. 4Ά, nemlig at den første balle 36 vil aflejres i en slangeendedel, der er aftrukket fra horndelen 4 og nu hviler på jorden lige bag ved enheden 2.The diameter of the horn portion is slightly larger than the standard diameter of modern large round bales 36 as produced by modern balers, and in the first instance such a bale 36 can be readily inserted through the horn 4.6 into the closed end of the tubing. 24, cf. Fig. 3. As the unit 2 is on the ground on one or more braked wheels.10, the result of the bale penetration by means of the tractor 30 will be that the closed end of the hose 24 is forced backwards from the horn part 4 under the pull of a correspondingly the length of the hose material 24 from the horn 4. The result will be as shown to the left in Fig. 4 nem, namely that the first bale 36 will be deposited in a hose end subtracted from the horn portion 4 and now resting on the ground just behind the unit 2.

Derefter bakkes traktoren 30 med redskabet 32 for tilbagetrækning fra ballen 36, og en ny balle 42 (fig.4A), opsamles af traktoren og bevæges derefter ind gennem horndelen 4, fortsat ved hjælp af traktoren og dennes redskab 32, se fig. 4A og 4B. Fremkørslen af traktoren standses imidlertid, når den nye balle 42 er beliggende netop inde i horndelen 4, og i denne stilling bringes redskabet 32 til løftning (fig. 4B), hvorved enheden 2 eller i hvert fald dennes låste hjul vil blive løftet op fra jorden. Derefter bakkes traktoren 30 et kort stykke (fig. 4B og 4C), hvorved enheden 2, som vil være i friktionsindgreb med den løftede balle 42, modsvarende bliver båret fremad under aftrækning af slangen 24 fra horndelsen 4, fordi den første balle 36 der nu hvilfer på jorden, vil være utilbøjelig til at skride langs jorden ved den pågældende bakkebevægelse af traktoren 30. Ved denne bevægelse vil enheden 2 således forskydes til muliggørelse af, at en tom længde af slangen 24 af-trækkes fra horndelen 4 (se fig. 4C). Traktorføreren sørger for, at denne længde nogenlunde svarer til minimumslængden af en ny balle 42, hvorefter han. sænker frontlæsseren 34 for returnering af enheden 2 til den-, nes jordstøttende stilling (se fig. 4C). Som vist i fig. 4C og 4D køres traktoren 30 og redskabet 32 derefter fremad, således at den nye balle 42 indføres i den nævnte tomme længde af slangen 24 (fig. 4D), hvorefter traktoren og balleløfterredskabet, efter sænkning af sidstnævnte, blot trækkes tilbage fra sen nyindførte balle 42 ved bakning af traktoren (fig. 4D).Thereafter, the tractor 30 is backed with the implement 32 for retraction from the bale 36, and a new bale 42 (Fig. 4A) is picked up by the tractor and then moved in through the horn part 4, continued with the aid of the tractor and its implement 32, see fig. 4A and 4B. However, the forward movement of the tractor is stopped when the new bale 42 is located just inside the corner part 4 and in this position the implement 32 is lifted (Fig. 4B), whereby the unit 2 or at least its locked wheel will be lifted from the ground. . Thereafter, the tractor 30 is briefly backed (Figs. 4B and 4C), whereby the unit 2, which will be frictionally engaged with the lifted bale 42, is correspondingly carried forward by pulling the hose 24 from the horn 4, because the first bale 36 which now thus resting on the ground will be inclined to slip along the ground by the relevant hill movement of the tractor 30. In this movement, the unit 2 will thus be displaced to allow an empty length of the hose 24 to be pulled from the horn part 4 (see Fig. 4C ). The tractor driver ensures that this length is roughly equal to the minimum length of a new bale 42, after which he. lowers the front loader 34 for returning the unit 2 to its ground-supporting position (see Fig. 4C). As shown in FIG. 4C and 4D, the tractor 30 and the implement 32 are then driven forward so that the new bale 42 is inserted into the said empty length of the hose 24 (Fig. 4D), after which the tractor and the bale lifting implement, after lowering the latter, are merely withdrawn from the late newly introduced bale. 42 when backing the tractor (Fig. 4D).

Traktorføreren kan herefter opsamle endnu en ny balle 42 på marken og køre denne nye balle ind gennem horndelen 4 og ind i slangen 24 ved de i fig. 4 illustrerede bevægelsestrin, hvorved der efterhånden kan op-bygges en meget lang række af sammenstillede, forud-pressede baller 36,42 inde i slangen 24, alt efter hvor stor en slangelængde der er lejret på ydersiden af horndelen 4.The tractor driver can then collect another new bale 42 on the field and drive this new bale through the horn part 4 and into the hose 24 at the ones in FIG. 4 illustrates movement steps whereby a very long series of assembled, pre-pressed balls 36,42 can be built up inside the hose 24, depending on the length of the hose lengthened on the outside of the horn part 4.

I fig. 5 er illustreret en modificeret fremgangsmåde, ved hvilken redskabet 32 efter at have placeret den første balle 36 kun tilbagetrækkes til forenden af hornet 4,6 og løftes i denne position, se fig. 5A, hvorved en opragende topdel 44 på bagrammen 40 af redskabet 32 løftes til indgreb med øjedelen 18 (se også fig. 1). En øvre skulderdel 46 på bagrammen 40, der herved går i anlæg mod undersiderne af øjedelene 18, vil derefter ved yderligere løftning fremkalde en løftning af forenden af enheden 2 og dermed af det bremsede hjul 10, fig. 5B, hvorefter traktoren bakkes et videre stykke til fremtrækning af enheden 2 til dennes nye position, hvori redskabet 32 sænkes til udløsning fra øjedelene 18, hvorefter traktoren køres bort til en fornyet balleopsamling, se fig. 5C. Traktoren vil således her forlade enheden 2 med slangen 24 allerede aftrukket til modtagelse af en ny balle bagved enheden 2, og den nye balle 42 kan derfor køres direkte ind i slangen igennem hornet 4, fig. 5D. Efter tilbagetrækning af redskabet 32 fra den nye balle, fig. 5E, er redskabet igen klar til at fremføre enheden 2 et yderligere trin, jfr. fig. 5A-5C. Enheden 2 vil naturligvis kunne udformes til at passe til enhver størrelse og form af de håndterede baller, dvs. også kasseformede baller.In FIG. 5 is illustrated a modified method in which the implement 32, after placing the first bale 36, is retracted only to the front end of the horn 4.6 and lifted in this position, see FIG. 5A, whereby a projecting top portion 44 on the rear frame 40 of the implement 32 is lifted for engagement with the eye portion 18 (see also Fig. 1). An upper shoulder portion 46 of the rear frame 40, which thereby engages the undersides of the eye portions 18, will then, upon further lifting, produce a lifting of the front end of the unit 2 and thus of the braked wheel 10. 5B, after which the tractor is baked a further piece to propel the unit 2 to its new position, in which the implement 32 is lowered for release from the eye portions 18, after which the tractor is driven to a renewed bale collection, see fig. 5C. Thus, the tractor will leave the unit 2 here with the hose 24 already pulled to receive a new bale behind the unit 2, and the new bale 42 can therefore be driven directly into the hose through the horn 4. 5D. After withdrawal of implement 32 from the new bale, FIG. 5E, the implement is again ready to advance the unit 2 a further step, cf. FIG. 5A-5C. The unit 2 can, of course, be designed to fit any size and shape of the handled bales, ie. also box-shaped balls.

Det er vigtigt, at hornet 4 stabiliseres imod at skubbes bagud fra de i fig. 4C oh 5D viste stillinger, f.eks. hvis den balle, der er under fremføring, ikke er helt fri af kravedelen 6, og dette er hovedbegrundelsen for, at et eller flere af hjulene 10 bør være bremsede. Alternativt kan enheden stabiliseres ved hjælp af ned-ragende jordspyd eller -plader, således som det ved 48 er vist med punkterede linier i fig. 1. Sådanne organer bør dog naturligvis være omstillelige mellem den operative stilling, hvori de kun er ude af indgrebet med jorden, når enheden 2 er løftet som vist i fig. 4B og 5B, og en inaktiv stilling, hvori enheden 2 er transporterbar på hjulene 10. Disse hjul kan i øvrigt helt undværes, såfremt enheden 2 kun skal transporteres i en løftet stilling.It is important that the horn 4 be stabilized against being pushed backward from those of FIG. 4C and 5D positions, e.g. if the bale being fed is not completely clear of the collar portion 6, and this is the main reason why one or more of the wheels 10 should be braked. Alternatively, the unit may be stabilized by means of projecting earth spears or plates, as shown at 48 by dotted lines in FIG. However, such means should, of course, be switchable between the operative position in which they are only out of engagement with the ground when the unit 2 is lifted as shown in FIG. 4B and 5B, and an inactive position in which the unit 2 is transportable on the wheels 10. Furthermore, these wheels can be completely avoided if the unit 2 is to be transported only in a raised position.

Den omhandlede fremgangsmåde vil være særdeles fordelagtig allerede til opbygning af et lager af sædvanlige halmballer, men det skal understreges, at ballerne meget vel kan behandles med ønskede midler til ensilering eller andre formål. Det er herved en særligt væsentlig mulighed at gøre brug af traktorredskabet 32 som et organ til indføring af et behandlingsmiddel i ballerne, jfr. britisk patentskrift nr. 2,090,112, hvorved behandlingen, f.eks. med ammoniak, kån udføres i direkte tilslutning til transporteringshåndteringen af ballerne. Det vil ses, at traktoren og redskabet 32, som begge er velkendte, udgør en kvalificeret del af et samlet apparat til udøvelse af den omhandlede del af et samlet apparat til udøvelse af den omhandlede fremgangsmåde, og det er herved et væsentligt kombinationstræk, at det nødvendige ballehåndteringsudstyr, hvadenten det er en traktor eller noget andet kan være udstyret med organer til indføring af et eller andet behandlingsmiddel i ballerne under disses håndtering. En anden mulighed vil være at forsyne enheden 2 med egnede organer til indføring af behandlingsmidlet, f.eks. injektionsspyd, der kan skydes ind i de enkelte baller, medens disse er nærværende i pølsehornet, idet sådanne spyd f.eks. vil kunne bevæges langs frembringere for bagsiden af kravedelen 6, således at de.trænger igennem foliematerialet 24.The method of the present invention will be very advantageous already for the construction of a stock of ordinary straw bales, but it should be emphasized that the bales may very well be treated with desired means for silage or other purposes. It is hereby a particularly important opportunity to make use of the tractor implement 32 as a means for introducing a treating agent into the bales, cf. British Patent No. 2,090,112, wherein the treatment, e.g. with ammonia, cans are made in direct connection to the transport handling of the bales. It will be seen that the tractor and implement 32, both well known in the art, constitute a qualified part of an overall apparatus for practicing the present portion of an assembled apparatus for carrying out the method in question, and it is thereby an essential combination feature that necessary baler handling equipment, whether it is a tractor or something else, may be provided with means for introducing some treatment means into the bales during their handling. Another option would be to provide the unit 2 with suitable means for introducing the treating agent, e.g. injection spears which can be pushed into the individual balls while present in the sausage horn, such spears being e.g. will be able to move along generators for the back of the collar portion 6 so as to penetrate the film material 24.

Det skal nævnes, at materialet i slangen 24, navnlig når denne skal indeholde behandlet materiale såsom ensilage, skal være tilstrækkeligt stærkt til at modstå normale påvirkninger såsom frost og gennemtrængning af stubbe. Undersiden af den på horndelen 4 oplage rede slange bør beskyttes mod at blive skrabet hen over skarpe sten eller andre genstande, og denne underside kan derfor evt. beskyttes ved hjælp af en nedre skærmplade, eller enheden kan generelt fremføres ved skridning på en bundplade, der dog fortrinsvis er forsynet med nedre løbehjul eller -ruller. Imidlertid vil det dog naturligvis være muligt at opbygge lageret på en eller anden jævn jord- eller gulvoverflade, og der kan på den baggrund endog være tale om anvendelse af den beskrevene fremgangsmåde til at forsyne andre emner end baller af halm, græs eller lignende materialer med et beskyttende hylster, f.eks. rækker af palletterede varer af enhver art.It should be mentioned that the material in the hose 24, especially when it should contain treated material such as silage, must be sufficiently strong to withstand normal stresses such as frost and stump penetration. The underside of the hose mounted on the horn section 4 should be protected from being scratched over sharp stones or other objects, and this underside may therefore be able to. is protected by means of a lower shield plate, or the unit can generally be advanced by sliding on a base plate, however preferably provided with lower impeller or rollers. However, it will, of course, be possible to build the warehouse on some even ground or floor surface, and may therefore even be the use of the described method of supplying items other than bales of straw, grass or similar materials. a protective sleeve, e.g. rows of palletized goods of all kinds.

Principielt kan enheden 2 ifølge opfindelsen være selvbevægelig for udførelse af dens ønskede bevægelser, men i praksis er det uhyre enkelt at anvende en traktor til det pågældende formål.In principle, the unit 2 according to the invention may be self-moving for carrying out its desired movements, but in practice it is extremely simple to use a tractor for that purpose.
