  • Patent number: 11160209
    Abstract: A drive arrangement for the reciprocating drive of a cutter bar comprises a hydraulic gear motor with a housing and a gearwheel, which is set in motion around a first axis by a hydraulic medium, and an eccentric drive, which comprises an eccentric element that can be rotatably driven by a gearwheel around a second axis parallel to the first axis, and a drive element connected to the eccentric element, which is, or can be, connected to the cutter bar.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10356976
    Abstract: A drive arrangement for the reciprocating drive of a cutter bar comprises an input element which can be set into a continuous pivoting movement by a drive device, and an output element which is coupled to the cutter bar and is coupled to the input element by a coupling rod. The output element is pivotably connected to a first end of a first lever and of a second lever, which levers, for their part, are pivotably mounted. The levers and the output element are dimensioned in such a manner that the output element essentially only carries out a lateral movement.

  • Patent number: 6145625
    Abstract: A lubricator for delivering grease lubricant to lubricating locations of a machine is coupled to a grease container and has a work chamber in which a delivery piston reciprocates. To ensure that a compressible medium, such as air which has been drawn into the work chamber is rapidly expelled therefrom, the work chamber is divided by a grease return device into a compressing portion and a delivery portion. Triggered by a sufficiently high pressure level which prevails in the compressing portion and which is present only during grease delivery, an otherwise blocked return connection is established between the compressing portion and a supply port which couples the grease container to the work chamber, as long as the head of the delivery piston, in the course of its grease delivery stroke (forward stroke) is situated in the compressing portion.
