Appeal No. 2003-0588
Application 09/559,921
On page 4 of the specification, appellant makes
note that a support wheel (50) “is arranged at the first
frame component 27 in the region of the center of gravity
of the bale wrapping device 12 in the unloaded condition,”
i.e., when no bale is received on the rolls (33). A smaller
auxiliary support wheel (54) is also provided at a free end
(52) of the second frame component (28). In describing the
auxiliary wheel (54), appellant indicates that such wheel
“usually does not touch the ground when the bale wrapping
device is unloaded.” In further describing operation of the
bale wrapping implement, at lines 13-21 of page 4, appellant
notes that
when the bale wrapping implement 12 is in
a condition not loaded by a round bale
and is towed by the baler 10, which is
coupled to the towing vehicle, the bale
wrapping device 12 is supported on the
ground only by the support wheel 50, with
the latter conforming automatically to
the direction of operation established by
the towing vehicle or the baler 10.
