The binding yarn system comprises a binding yarn (5), binding yarns or a pair of binding yarns.

The two layers are joined together by either adjunct tie yarns or integral tie yarns.

The binding yarn (5), the binding yarns or the pair of binding yarns is/are bound to more than one bottom warps (4) at the point where the binding yarn (5) binds the top and bottom warps together.

The invention concerns a method and device for twisting binding wire, the device comprising a longitudinally moving twisting head fitted to a machine for winding the wire round a bundle.

The layer of the machine side is formed of a warp system (4) and a binding yarn system (3).

The invention relates to a paper machine fabric comprising at least two machine direction yarn systems (3, 4), which are bound together by means of a binding yarn system (5).

The yarns of the first layer are interwoven so that, except for the tie yarns, each yarn remains within 1.5 yarn diameters of the top plane defined by the knuckles of the first layer.

The system prevents the baling ties from breaking, allows auto-alignment of the round bales and gives the round bales very small turning radii.

The levitation allows the frame, and therefore the insect, to yaw during testing without the constraint of tethering wires.

The device comprises an inflatable (6) element formed from two opposing layers of fabric (10, 11) and the two layers of fabric are interconnected by a plurality of tether yarns (18) extending between said layers.

The binding yarn system comprises a binding yarn (5), binding yarns or a pair of binding yarns.

The two layers are joined together by either adjunct tie yarns or integral tie yarns.

The binding yarn (5), the binding yarns or the pair of binding yarns is/are bound to more than one bottom warps (4) at the point where the binding yarn (5) binds the top and bottom warps together.

Methods for tying pre-formed looped ends of lengths of bale wire (22) using such a bale wire typing apparatus (28) are also provided.

The buckling plate (3) consists of a buckling plate body (31) and buckling plate limbs (32), and the buckling plate body (31) is a tubular structure with internal threads.
