  • Patent number: 8806845
    Abstract: A mowing finger arrangement and mowing bar for finger bar mowers of a harvester, as well as a method for manufacturing mowing fingers has an upper and lower element connected together to form at least one mowing finger. The mowing finger arrangement serves to guide a mowing sickle and forms counter cutting edges for the sickle blades arranged on the mowing sickle. An abutment on the upper element delimits upward movement of the mowing sickle when a downward force is exerted on the face end of the sickle blades.

  • Patent number: 6708477
    Abstract: Harvesting machine reaping systems with crop lifters have a bed plate (1) with projecting reaping fingers (2). A support bar (5) has a first end (8) and a second end (9). The first end (8) attaches on the bed plate (1). The second end (9) of the support bar (5) is connected to a grain lifter (10). A holder (11) is attached on the support bar (5) between the first end (8) and the second end (9). A retainer, for example a pin (17) and pairs of bores, are arranged on the holder (11). The bores are distanced to the support bar (5). The pin (17) is insertable into the bores of one of the pairs of bores. The holder (11), together with the retainer (17), are arranged to form a free motion gap. Thus, the support bar can approach the reaping finger (2) or its tip (16). The support bar (5) is rigidly formed, with respect to flexure, in the area between the second end (9) and the holder (11). The support bar (5) is elastically formed, with respect to flexure, in the area between the holder (11) and the first end (8).

  • Patent number: 6698175
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustment arrangement for a reel tine carrier (5) supporting reaping tines (8) for a cereal cutting device. The reaping tines (8) are mounted on rotational tine carriers (5). The adjustment is carried out around an adjustment axis (9). The reel rotates around an axis of rotation (2). To adjust the reaping tines (8), a first control curve (19) is kept stationary relative to the reel (1). Each tine carrier (5) is provided with a control lever (16). The control lever is pivotably supported on the reel (1). One end of the control lever is supported on the first control curve (19). A pulling mechanism (11) is provided for each control lever (16). The pulling mechanism (11) is attached to one end on the control lever (16) and is guided around a control disc (10) mounted on the tine carrier (5). The other end of the pulling mechanism is fixed to a spring element (14). The spring element is fixed on the holding star 4 of the reel.

  • Patent number: 6655120
    Abstract: A crop lifter for a harvesting machine reaping system with a bed plate (1) and projecting reaping fingers (2) has an elastically bendable support bar (5) with a first end (6) and a second end (7). The first end (6) is adapted to be retained on the bed plate (1). A grain lifter is connected to the second end (7) of the support bar (5). A holder (10), which has legs (15, 16), projects from the face of the support bar (5) facing the grain lifter (8). The holder (10) is adapted to receive the reaping finger (2) between the legs (15, 16). A holding mechanism is adapted to support the reaping finger (2) in a direction towards the support bar (5). The support bar (5) includes an area with a bend (13), which opposes the portion adapted to receive the reaping finger (2) taken up by the holder (10). The portions (18, 19) on both sides of the bend 13 enclose an angle opening towards the grain lifter (8).

  • Patent number: 6379243
    Abstract: A combine-harvester for harvesting grains has a zigzag arrangement and is formed from repeating portions (13, 13a, 13b, 13c) which each portion includes a profile (14, 14a, 14b, 14c). Each profile has a first leg (16), which is arranged at an angle to a second leg (18). The first leg (16) is provided with an extension (22). The extension is arranged parallel to the first leg (16) in a transverse direction to the conveying direction (6) and ends at an edge. The extension (22) projects in conveying direction (6) beyond the connection area (19) of the first leg (16) with the second leg (18). The extension is arranged ahead of the second leg (18) in the conveying direction (6). Stems (27), which possibly fall onto the sieve surface, are carried by the extensions (22). As a result of the movement of the sieve as it is moved in the conveying direction (6), the stems fall off the sieve surface (5).

  • Patent number: 6250057
    Abstract: An assembly has a mowing finger 1 with a bottom part 4, a top part 5 and a blade gap 8 between the two. The cutter 3 rests on a support 6 of the bottom part 4. The cutter 3 is arranged in the blade gap 8 and is able to move to and fro. A holding-down element 14 is form-fittingly held at the top part 5 in the direction of movement of the cutter 3. The top part 5 projects into an aperture in the holding-down element 14. Via its supporting portion 15, the holding-down element 14 is supported under pre-tension against the blade 7 and holds the blade 7 relative to the support 6. The rear attaching ends 10, 11 of the bottom part 4 and of the top part 5, as well as the fixing portion 16 of the holding down-element 14, are jointly secured to the back bar 2 by a fixing bolt 13. Accordingly, the fixing conditions are simplified. Further, by being form-fittingly held, the holding-down element 14 is securely prevented against displacement relative to the top part 5.
