  • Patent number: 10905049
    Abstract: A structural set for assembling a header intended for harvesters is capable of compensation of the lateral movement of the header according to the ground conditions of the planting rows being harvested. More particularly, a structural set for assembling a header in an agricultural machine comprising a girder with a central beam interconnected to at least two structural columns, the central beam being provided with a pivoting point for engaging and fastening a bracket, and at least one return element of the bracket for returning the bracket in a substantially horizontal position when at rest.

  • Patent number: 10736268
    Abstract: A header for a harvesting machine. The header includes at least two row dividers spaced from one another in a transversal direction and at a predetermined distance, at least one roller, a driving for driving the roller comprising multiple projections, at least two base cutting discs, a driver for driving the at least two base cutting discs, one roller positioned behind the at least two base cutting discs to raise the cut plants, and at least one conveyor roller positioned above the said roller to raise plants, to transport the cut plants to the inside of a harvesting machine. The at least one roller includes multiple projections to collect and direct the plants downwards and towards the opening. The foregoing elements form an assembly mounted on a structure that may be connected to a harvesting machine.

  • Publication number: 20180338423
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a structural set for the assembly of a header intended for harvesters, comprising technical, constructive and functional aspects capable of promoting the tilting adjustment of the header in order to improve the accuracy levels of the angle of attack of the cutting discs during harvesting. More particularly, the present invention refers to a structural set for the assembly of a header in agricultural machines comprising a girder formed by a central beam on which a support is provided for suitable fitting of the structure of the header, the central beam being anchored to the chassis of the agricultural machine by an actuator device and further connecting at least two support columns, which are pivoted on the chassis of the agricultural machine by fastening device(s).
