Abstract
The invention relates to a baler for vehicle tyres wherein the tyre bales are used to form an artificial reef. The baler fits onto the forks of a standard fork truck or loading machine. The baler preferably accommodates 144 car tyres or when modified 250 tyres in one bale. The tyre bales are fixed using individual sections of stainless steel wires fitted through the centre of every tyre to hold the bale in shape. Bales can be shaped by adding or removing tyres from the bale before compressing and fixing.
Description
Tyre Baler and Bales for Tyre Reef Construction
Description
We looked at constructing a tyre reef using normal standard compressed tyre bales.
These bales have no holes for habitat to live in and thrive, they have no means of being fixed to the sea anchor ropes and they are tied with normal wire not stainless.
When constructing an artificial tyre reef we are not dumping tyres at sea, we are constructing, tyre bales are construction material this material must be flexible and easily made into the required shape and dimension it must be indestructible and easily removed with individual ties attached.
Making a reef tyre bale is time and labour intensive it is necessary to have a mobile baler to load tyres on directly from the tyre delivery vehicle and then compress and load the fixed constructed purpose built bale onto transport to the ship.
1. I designed my baler to fit onto a standard fork truck or loading machine the bales can be fixed and transported with ease. The mobile part of the Baler frame is attached to a fork truck or vehicle to loading forks it is a standard fit to the forks and is to be considered part of the load.
2. The fixed part of the Baler is fixed to the ground and has a winch to pull in the vehicle to aid tyre bale compression.
3. When the mobile Baler frame is loaded with tyres the vehicle is driven to the fixed Baler section for the tyres to be compressed and fixed with stainless steel wires.
4. The mobile part of the Baler frame on the vehicle can be used to transport tyres, and then the tyre Bales after fixing.
5. Steel Tubes are positioned and then welded to the portable section of the Baler to enable tyres to be placed on prior to compressing and these tubes also allow tyres to be unloaded and transported with the Baler vehicle.
6. The standard Baler has 16 tubes in four rows to accommodate 144 car tyres in one Bale, the baler could be modified to accept up to 250 car tyres.
7. The tyre Bales are fixed using individual sections of stainless steel wires fitted through the centre of every tyre to hold the Bale in shape.
8. These tyre bales have holes in line through the middle of the tyres to enable the anchor ropes to be passed through to hold the Bales onto the sea bed.
9. Bales used in surf reef applications will have a cover fitted over them before sea deployment.
10. Bales can be shaped by adding or removing tyres from the Bale before compressing and fixing. Claim
Claims (10)
- The Bale design is specific to our Reef design in that the Bales can be deployed without the use of divers.The Baler holds the tyres in a predetermined position before compressing them into a uniform shape.The Bales have holes through the centre of the tyre rows which are needed for inhabitation, other bales are solid made from mangled compressed tyres.The holes through the bales are needed to attach the bales to the Reef structure, other bales are not tied and have no dedicated way of being fixed or positioned by ropes it is not possible to make these holes with other balers.The Baler is only for making Reef construction Bales for my Reef design no other person has ever made a mass production Reef deployment system.The baler will fix to any standard fork equipped vehicle which is capable of carrying the weight other balers are fixed.The baler is part of the unloading transporting system of tyres and the transporting and loading of produced bales.The baler will make varied shape bales without component changes.The baler is totally portable unlike most other tyre balers.The baler is only a light pressure baler unlike other high pressure ones in use a reef bale needs to be light with lots of holes and is not used for aggregate replacement.Amended claims have been filed as follows:-Claim.1. The baler is designed to unload vehicles and transport tyres designated for reef construction.
- 2. The baler bales tyres with only one manual handling of tyres from the delivery truck to the baler.
- 3. Because the baler unloads the vehicle the tyres are recovered from waste to a construction material directly from the delivery vehicle this removes the need to hold a permit to store waste tyres.
- 4. The baler handles a minimum of 140 up to 280 used tyres.
- 5. The baler makes the bale to my specification for shellfish habitation and reef construction no other baler is available to perform this task with so many tyres.
- 6. The baler will compress varying sizes of tyres but retain the desired shape of the tyre and module or bale other balers distort the tyres out of shape.
- 7. The baler is portable and requires no external power or planning permission because it is portable.
- 8. The baler ties and secures the bale in the required shape.
- 9. The baler transports the manufactured end product to the storage position or loads the module onto a vehicle for dispatch.
- 10. The baler is the only baler that is available to make my specific shellfish farm type reef bale. *..* * S* ** S * *** * * * S. * * S a... * S S. SS * I * * S
