  • Patent number: 10039233
    Abstract: This pick-up apparatus for picking up harvested root crop defines a pick-up plane and comprises a pick-up section. The pick-up section comprises a pick-up member adapted to pick up the root crop, and a cleaning member. The pick-up member defines a pick-up position with respect to the pick-up plane. The pick-up apparatus comprises a cleaning adjustment device adapted to adjust the position of the cleaning member between at least two cleaning positions, the cleaning positions being different one from another. In each of the cleaning positions of the cleaning member and while the pick-up member is in the pick-up position, the distance of the cleaning member with respect to the pick-up plane is different from the distance of the cleaning member with respect to the pick-up plane in the other cleaning position.

  • Publication number: 20160330909
    Abstract: This pick-up apparatus for picking up harvested root crop defines a pick-up plane PP and comprises a pick-up section. The pick-up section comprises a pick-up member adapted to pick up the root crop, and a cleaning member. The pick-up member defines a pick-up position with respect to the pick-up plane PP. The pick-up apparatus comprises a cleaning adjustment device adapted to adjust the position of the cleaning member between at least two cleaning positions, the cleaning positions being different one from another. In each of the cleaning positions of the cleaning member and while the pick-up member is in the pick-up position, the distance DC1 of the cleaning member with respect to the pick-up plane PP is different from the distance DC2 of the cleaning member with respect to the pick-up plane PP in the other cleaning position.

  • Publication number: 20130119592
    Abstract: A bearing, having: a support for fastening the bearing to a first body; a supporting bearing for fastening the bearing to a second body; and a multilayered spring which is integrated into the support and/or the supporting bearing and has an elastomer track which is arranged between two cover plates, wherein at least one of the cover plates has at least one projection which extends into the elastomer track from the one cover plate in the direction of the other cover plate.

  • Publication number: 20130092487
    Abstract: A hydraulically damping bearing includes a damping fluid having a complex viscosity that is above the complex viscosity of polydimethyl siloxane within a first frequency range in which the damping fluid is excited upon the bearing being activated. The complex velocity of the damping fluid is below the complex viscosity of polydimethyl siloxane within a second frequency range in which the damping fluid is excited upon the bearing being activated.

  • Patent number: 8246024
    Abstract: A bushing, having a core member, at least one enveloping body surrounding the same, and at least one elastic connecting layer, the elastic connecting layer joining together and spacing apart the enveloping body and the core member, and the core member and the enveloping body being movable relative to one another. In view of the object of designing and further refining a bushing of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it exhibits an adjustable stiffness response that is dependent on the deflection of the core member relative to the enveloping body, following the cost-effective manufacturing thereof, the bushing has at least one limit stop, which is structurally separate or is produced separately from the connecting layer, is assigned to the core member and/or the enveloping body and limits the relative movement thereof.
