Abstract: The invention pertains to a combine head with a frame to which a transverse conveyor spiral is secured that extends transversely with respect to the forward direction of the combine head, where several conveyor belt assemblies are pre-arranged at this transverse conveyor spiral in a laterally sequential manner in the forward direction and are equipped with conveyor belts, and in the harvesting mode of operation, convey material to be harvested rearward to the transverse conveyor spiral, which in turn conveys it transversely with respect to the forward direction and toward the middle of the combine head, wherein a cover is present between adjacent conveyor belt assemblies in order to seal off the inner zones of the conveyor belt assemblies.

Abstract: A harvesting platform comprising a conveyor belt assembly being located rearwardly from a cutter bar. The conveyor belt assembly comprises a first roller and a second roller around which a conveyor belt runs. The rollers are fastened to each other by mounting elements. The conveyor belt assembly is pivotally mounted to the floor of the platform so it can be pivoted upward from the floor.

Abstract: A crop harvesting mechanism having a reel assembly with a reel that is rotatably supported at each end by a respective reel support. A reel carrier arm is provided for each of the reel supports and the supports are movable along the reel carrier arm. A horizontal adjustment actuator moves the reel support along the reel carrier arms over an adjustment range. The reel carrier arms are constructed with an upward or downward oriented curve, inside of the adjustment range over which the reel holding devices can be shifted by the actuator. The reel operates below a cutting bar in its forward position and in a position moved further back that is above and behind the cutting bar so that collisions are avoided.
