         Appeal No. 2003-0588                                                  
         Application 09/559,921                                                



                  As noted on page 1 of the specification, appel-              
         lant’s invention relates to bale wrapping implements and,             
         more particularly, to such implements that are trailed from           
         a large round baler and used to wrap bales ejected onto the           
         device from the baler.  Appellant notes that a problem                
         exists with the costly configuration of known bale wrapping           
         implements, and sets forth as an objective of the invention           
         to provide a bale wrapping implement of “simple construc-             
         tion” which is coupled in trailing relationship to a baler            
         so as to follow the contours of the ground.  To that end,             
         appellant’s bale wrapping implement, best seen in Figure 1,           
         comprises a main frame (22) supporting a bale wrapping                
         arrangement (23).  The main frame includes a first elongate,          
         beam-like frame component (27) having its forward end                 
         journalled for vertical pivoting movement about the axle              
         (20) of the baler (10), and a second elongate, beam-like              
         frame component (28) coupled to the first frame component             
         and carrying the bale wrapping arrangement (23) and bale              
         support rolls (33) thereon.                                           


                                       2
