Abstract

A walking walls bale ejector with one stationary floor wall, one horizontal and lateral moveable side wall, one horizontal moveable side wall and an upper horizontal moveable wall. The side walls and top wall can be moved horizontally in relation to the frame.

Claims (53)

1 . A walking walls bale ejector comprising:

a frame with back bars and front bars forming an interior comprising;

a moveable first side wall capable of movement in relation to said frame;

a moveable second side wall capable of movement in relation to said frame;

a moveable top wall capable of movement in relation to said frame;

a bottom floor which is stationary in relation to said frame.

2 . The walking walls bale ejector of claim 1 , wherein

said first side wall, said second side wall and said top wall are capable of horizontal movement away from said frame.

3 . The walking walls bale ejector of claim 1 , wherein

said first side wall, said second side wall and said top wall are capable of horizontal movement towards said frame.

4 . The walking walls bale ejector of claim 1 wherein

said horizontal movement of said first side wall, said second side wall and said top wall occurs through simultaneous actuation of said first side wall, said second side wall and said top wall.

5 . The walking walls bale ejector of claim 1 further comprising:

a moveable column assembly located in said frame and attached in mechanical communication to said first side wall.

6 . The walking walls bale ejector of claim 5 wherein;

said moveable column is attached and in electronic communication with a baler to ensure bale size compatibility.

7 . A walking walls bale ejector of claim 1 further comprising:

said front bars are mechanically attached to a wire tier.

8 . A walking walls bale ejector of claim 1 further comprising;

said side wall capable of movement in relation to said back bars is actuated by a first horizontal cylinder for horizontal motion;

a second side wall capable of movement in relation to said back bars is actuated by a second horizontal cylinder for horizontal motion;

a moveable top wall capable of movement in relation to said back bars is actuated by a third horizontal cylinder for horizontal motion.

9 . A method for moving a bale through a walking walls bale ejector comprising:

ejecting a bale into a walking walls bale ejector which comprises:

a frame with an interior comprising;

a moveable first side wall capable of movement in relation to said frame;

a moveable second side wall capable of movement in relation to said frame;

a horizontally moveable top wall capable of movement horizontally in relation to said frame;

a bottom floor which is stationary in relation to said frame; and

horizontally moving a bale through actuation of said first side wall, said second side wall and said top wall.

10 . The method of claim 9 further comprising the step of:

providing a walking walls bale ejector which further comprises an adjustable column assembly located in said frame and is attached in mechanical communication to said first side wall.

11 . The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of:

providing a walking walls bale ejector in which said adjustable column is attached and in electronic communication with a baler to ensure bale size compatibility.

12 . The method of claim 9 further comprising the step of:

attaching a wire tier to said front bars of said frame; and

wire tying a bale as it exits the walking walls ejector.

13 . A walking walls bale ejector comprising:

a frame with an interior comprising;

a moveable first side wall with a horizontal first side wall movement cylinder and lateral moveable first side wall, wherein said lateral and horizontal moveable first side wall is capable of movement horizontally and laterally in relation to said frame;

a moveable second side wall with a horizontal second side wall movement cylinder, wherein said horizontal moveable second side wall is capable of movement horizontally in relation to said frame;

a moveable top wall with a horizontal top wall movement cylinder, wherein said horizontal moveable top wall is capable of movement horizontally in relation to said frame; and

a bottom floor which is stationary in relation to said frame, wherein

said moveable first side wall with a horizontal first side wall movement cylinder is capable of horizontal and lateral movement when actuated relative to said bottom floor;

said moveable second side wall with horizontal second side wall movement cylinder is capable of horizontal movement when actuated relative to said bottom floor; and

said moveable top wall with top wall movement cylinder are capable of horizontal movement when actuated relative to said bottom floor.

14 . The walking walls bale ejector of claim 13 wherein said moveable first side wall with a horizontal first side wall movement cylinder, said second side wall with a horizontal second side wall movement cylinder, and said top wall with a horizontal top wall movement cylinder is capable of horizontally moving a bale through actuation of said horizontal first side wall cylinder, said horizontal second side wall cylinder and said top wall horizontal movement cylinder.

15 . The walking walls bale ejector of claim 14 wherein said horizontal movement of a bale through actuation of said horizontal first side wall movement cylinder, said horizontal second side wall movement cylinder and said top wall movement piston occurs through simultaneous actuation of said horizontal first side wall movement cylinder, said horizontal second side wall movement cylinder and said top wall movement cylinder.

16 . The walking walls bale ejector of claim 13 further comprising:

a moveable column assembly located in said frame, wherein said first moveable side wall with a horizontal first side wall movement cylinder is moveable in relation to said frame on said moveable column assembly in said frame.

17 . The walking walls bale ejector of claim 16 , wherein said moveable column assembly in said frame is attached and in electronic communication with a baler to ensure bale size compatibility.

18 . A walking walls bale ejector of claim 13 further comprising:

said frame further mechanically attached to a wire tie.
