Systems and methods for Alberto knot tying apparatus
11737441 · 2023-08-29 ·

Tool is an apparatus for tying fishing line of dissimilar and similar types together. It has a base frame to allow a person to hold the unit or secure to a stationary object with clamps or vice. Base Frame is a “C” shape fabricated from material to hold shape and pressure including wood, plastic, metal, or composite. Top “C” end one of base frame and top “C” end two of base frame have cleats that can be made from neoprene type of compressible material, silicon, including other material that will not damage filament. These cleats secure and align the line for tying. Using short post two with obtuse angle located at “C” end one point and high post one 90-degree angle on opposite “C” end these posts hold filament while the cleats hold the filament secure and steady. The post is used for wrapping similar and dissimilar line around when tying knot. This allows consistent secure tying from unit.

TWINE TENSION ASSEMBLY

A twine tension relief assembly for a baler including a tension detection apparatus for detecting the tension in a line of twine, a biased cutting element displaceable between a first retained position and a second released position and an actuator adapted to cause the biased cutting element to move from the first retained position to the second released position in response to a signal issued by the tension detection apparatus. The practical application includes when the tension in a strand of twine exceeds a predetermined threshold, the tension detection apparatus causes movement of the biased cutting element so that a strand of twine passing though the twine tension relief assembly is severed and damage to the knotter mechanism and its component parts is avoided.

Device and method for tying a mass filled into a skin

The invention relates to a device for tying multiple portions of a mass filled into a casing (8) at tying points provided for this purpose using a thread (10). The device comprises a rotor (1) and a guide device (20) which is connected to the rotor (1) for guiding the thread (10).
