Zusammenfassung:A buckle for use in securing a band around a bale of material comprises a socket member having an aperture formed therein and a wedge member having a portion shaped to maximize friction with a band and a rounded portion opposite the portion shaped to maximize friction with a band. The wedge member is initially connected to the socket member by at least one frangible link in an initial orientation having the rounded portion oriented toward the aperture in the socket member and the portion shaped to maximize friction with a band oriented away from the aperture. The buckle is used in an automated method wherein both ends of a band extending around a bale are clamped to the wedge member, the wedge member is rotated to a final position wherein the portion shaped to maximize friction with a band of the wedge member is oriented toward the aperture and urged into the aperture, thereby capturing both ends of the band between the portion shaped to maximize friction with a band of the wedge member and the socket member.
