Abstract: Apparatus for a harvesting machine comprising a cutter bar, a reel assembly including a reel, and a rear table comprising a feeding auger and a feeding elevator, with the rear table being pivotable relative to the harvesting machine about a first horizontal axis of rotation. A pair of reel carrying arms are pivotally mounted about an axis of rotation on the rear table, and a movable feeding apron is mounted in front of the rear table. A cutter bar is provided at a leading end of the movable feeding apron, and a pair of levers are hingedly mounted on the rear table about a second horizontal axis of rotation. The levers have front arms and rear arms, with the sides of the feeding apron being connected to the front arms. A first hydraulic arrangement is mounted relative to the machine for pivotally moving the rear table about the first horizontal axis, and a second hydraulic arrangement is provided for supporting the reel assembly and causing pivotal movement of the pair of reel carrying arms.

Abstract: A cyclone furnace for the combustion of solid fuels, comprising a generally cylindrical combustion chamber (21) is closed at one end (18, 23) and is provided with at least one inlet opening for fuel and air and has an outlet at the end opposite the closed end. The combustion chamber (21) is generally horizontal. The combustion chamber, at the bottom of the cylindrical wall (22), near the end wall (23), is provided with an opening (87) for discharging ash. An ash discharge conduit (12) is arranged intermediate said ash discharge opening and an ash bin (16) or the like. An ash discharge sluice (92) is provided in the discharge conduit, and scraping means (45, 47) are provided to scrape loose ash and slag from the surface of the end wall (23) and from the combustion chamber wall (22) next to the end wall, said scraping means being arranged to be rotated about the horizontal axis of the combustion chamber (21).
