CA 2633160

A bale handling apparatus (12 or 14) having at least two cooperating flaps (46, 47), each flap defining a free longitudinal edge and an opposite edge longitudinally hinged about a support member (34), the flaps being pivotable between a closed position where each edge points the edge of the other flap and where the flaps can cooperate in lifting a bale engaged between the flaps upon elevating the support members, and an open position where the bale is substantially freed from the flaps to allow longi-tudinal disengagement of the flaps from the bale. The bale handling method includes at least the freeing of at least one bale which includes lowering two cooperating flaps in a closed position, the flaps sustaining a bale engaged therebetween, until the bale touches the ground; pivoting the cooperating flaps into an open position to substantially free the bale from the flaps; and longitudinally disengaging the pivoted flaps from the bale.

Appareil (12 ou 14) de manipulation de balle comprenant au moins deux volets (46, 47) coopérants, chaque volet définissant un bord libre longitudinal et un bord opposé longitudinalement articulés par rapport à un élément (34) support, les volets pouvant pivoter entre une position fermée où chaque bord est dirigé vers le bord de l'autre volet et où les volets peuvent coopérer pour le soulèvement d'une balle engagée entre les volets lorsque les éléments support montent, et une position ouverte où la balle est sensiblement libérée des volets afin de permettre un désengagement longitudinal des volets par rapport à la balle. Le procédé de manipulation de la balle comprend au moins la libération d'au moins une balle, comprenant un abaissement de deux volets coopérants dans une position fermée, les volets soutenant une balle engagée entre eux, jusqu'à ce que la balle touche le sol; un pivotement des volets coopérants dans une position ouverte pour sensiblement libérer la balle des volets; et un désengagement longitudinal des volets pivotés par rapport à la balle.
