Abstract
A header for a combine harvester has a primary implement, a secondary implement and a link that is connected with the secondary implement. The header further has a lifting device with a slide element that is formed and connected with the link so that a translational movement of the slide element causes a lifting of the secondary implement relative to the primary implement.
Claims14
A header for a combine harvester, the header comprising:
- a primary implement;
- a secondary implement;
- a link that is connected with the secondary implement;
- and
- a lifting device, including:
- a slide element connected with the link and including a guide element;
- a link bearing which rotatably connects the link to the slide element;
- a guide component with a guide slot, the guide element of the slide element engaging with the guide slot such that a translational movement of the slide element causes a lifting of the secondary implement relative to the primary implement;
- and
- an actuating device comprising a piston-cylinder unit connected with the slide element and driveable in a translational direction such that its translational movement is transferred onto the slide element and thereby onto the secondary implement to lift the secondary implement, and wherein the translational movement of the actuating device is operable to effect the translational movement of the slide element such that the guide component moves in the guide slot and thereby lifts the secondary implement relative to the primary implement.

A header for a combine harvester, comprising:
- a primary implement;
- a secondary implement;
- a link that is connected with the secondary implement;
- and
- a lifting device, including:
- a slide element connected with the link;
- a guide component with a guide slot, the slide element is configured for engaging with the guide slot such that a translational movement of the slide element causes a lifting of the secondary implement relative to the primary implement;
- and
- a safety device that prevents an unwanted lifting of the secondary implement relative to the primary implement, the safety device including a safety latch, a safety slot, and a safety spring, wherein the safety latch is loaded by the safety spring in the direction of the safety slot.
