Stripper device for a baler

A round baler comprising:

• a frame;
• a baling chamber;
• a pressing apparatus for forming a bale in the baling chamber;
• a tensioning lever pivotably mounted to the frame and interconnecting the frame and the pressing apparatus for maintaining a tension in the pressing apparatus;
• a tensioning arm coupled to the pressing apparatus and rotatably mounted to the frame for rotational movement relative to the frame in response to movement of the pressing apparatus by the tensioning lever;
• a stripper device including:
• a tensioning arm lever attached to the tensioning arm and rotatable with the tensioning arm;
• a bar carrier pivotably connected to and moveable relative to the frame between a first position and a second position;
• a scraping bar attached to and moveable with the bar carrier between the first position and the second position;
• wherein the scraping bar is abutted against the pressing apparatus when disposed in the first position for removing adhesions from the pressing apparatus;
• wherein the scraping bar is withdrawn from the pressing apparatus when disposed in the second position;
• an articulated lever attached to and rotatable with the bar carrier;
• and
• a connecting rod interconnecting the articulated lever and the tensioning arm lever, such that rotational movement of the tensioning arm moves the connecting rod, which in turn rotates the articulated lever to move the bar carrier between the first position and the second position.
