Definitions

  • This autonomous, mobile, manual device, movable empty and sometimes in charge by rolling it on itself even, can be used for bundling (bundling), often one cubic meter, with strapping and cubage, logs, staves, crusts and wood waste, rounds, tubes and parts in all materials, then deposit them on the ground without significant effort, all manually without the intervention of a tractor or other motorized vehicle.
  • This new device limits the use of a tractor or other handling equipment on recovery subsequent bundles, at the end of the day and even more generally after several days or weeks, without waiting time of the motorized vehicle between transport.
  • Handling and transport equipment to be present to handle these devices, both empty and loaded, are immobilized and unproductive during the hours of making steres, therefore expensive.
  • a woodcutter cuts and makes 5 to 9 cubic meters of firewood per day from 7 to 8 hours, while their only evacuation can range from 20 to 50 burdens, per day from 7 to 8 hours.
  • the CTU is only used for approximately 20% of the shrinkage time.
  • a baling device is also known from document FR 810 044 A.
  • the device is in two main parts, high (1) and low (2), curved in a semicircle, which assembled by simple fitting are secured by pins, and a frame bearing (3) intended to receive the lower part (2) for the removal of the burden.
  • the user creates piece after piece, without being hindered by side faces, a given volume.
  • the small overall width of the device (80 cm for example, depending on the length given to spacers) facilitates its passage between obstacles.
  • the upper parts (1) on the one hand, and the lower part (2) on the other hand, independent of each other, are each made up of two symmetrical or non-symmetrical structures, respectively (4) and (5), made of metal profiles and appropriate sections (or laminates or tubes or solid) curved in a semicircle and joined by spacers (12 and 13).
  • the upper part of the device can, to allow the removal of the bundle by the lower part, be easily detached from the lower part to be removed and placed on the side.
  • the upper part consists of 2 symmetrical or non-symmetrical structures (4) in profiles spacers of light section, bent in the shape of a semicircle, preferably in iron tube of 33/42 mm, or in an iron tube with an outside diameter of 75 mm, thickness 1.5 to 2 mm.
  • Two to five spacers (12) of the upper part (1) are preferably made of 26/34 mm iron tube.
  • the lower part consists of 2 symmetrical or non-symmetrical structures (5), in sections braced, curved in a semicircle.
  • U-shaped iron of 100 mm optionally made up of two 50 mm iron angles welded to each other, or in an iron tube external diameter of 50 to 90 mm, or in aluminum profile, or other yet.
  • These two structures (5) are braced by 4 to 5 tubes (13), preferably 40/49 mm iron tube.
  • the spacers are all centered on structures (4) and (5) or offset towards the outside of these structures. So the wrapped pieces do not block ties, neither against structures nor against spacers.
  • the tall (1) and low (2) structures are made with tubes, whatever the format, they fit into each other by domed extensions (6) possibly conical or in cross-pieces (7) in the opposite structure, the extensions (6) have an outside diameter such that they engage in the tube the structure where they are fixed by welding. It would be 60/70 iron tube for a tube structure of ⁇ 76.1 outside.
  • the interlocking is done by female guides (8) arranged next to the low structures and to male extensions (9) of the structures of the upper part (1), stops (10) positioning them in good position.
  • the guides (8) are in 40/49 mm iron tube 50 mm long welded inside the U of 100, on the outside of the device, the extensions (9) engaging the guides (8) then being in 26/34 mm tube.
  • the upper (1) and lower (2) parts are assembled by four primary pins (11) passing through the structures (4) and (5), the extensions (6) or (7), the guides (8) and the extensions (9).
  • the upper (1) and lower (2) parts together form a template delimiting between them a surface circular given. Area of one square meter when the structures provide an interior vacuum of a 1.130 meter diameter. In this case, 1 cubic meter is produced with pieces 1 meter long.
  • Any other diameter, to be studied on a case-by-case basis, can be made depending on the length desired for the parts and the volume sought.
  • This frame is preferably made with iron angles from 50 to 80 mm by about 800 to 1200 mm long, with one of the wings laid flat and the other placed vertically upwards. The spacers being then produced in 26/34 mm iron tube.
  • This frame carries a spacer (16) above and at one of its ends to serve as a stop for the part low during loading and below, to keep the frame in place, one or more spacers (17), including one at the opposite end of the top spacer (16).
  • the "duo" also allows, when the ground allows, movement before discharge. What can be case in a storage store.
  • a “duo" device costs less than two "mono” devices and is particularly suitable for two users working close to each other.
  • the device Before recharging the device is again placed on its frame (3), it is immobilized there by the top spacer and by simply wedging any wedge which will be removed before tilting for a new removal to the ground.
  • the device normally delivered with its rolling frame (3) can be delivered without this frame.
  • An apparatus has been produced. It was used to make more than 500 bundles of a cubic meter of heating, to the satisfaction of the loggers and their help in charge of evacuation to a line forest.
  • This device in one or the other of its three versions, could interest a good number of loggers and other bundlers in the forests and sawmills of all countries, and in many storage and of sale.
