Abstract
A pick-up web for an agricultural machine, in particular, for picking up and transporting nut fruit in a nut harvester along a conveyor device. The pick-up web comprising at least two endless circulating belts for driving the pick-up web and several rods extending perpendicular to the direction of transport of the pick-up web creating a sieve-type transport surface. The pick-up web further comprising several tappets and sweeping teeth each projecting perpendicularly away from the sieve-type transport surface.

Pick-up web (2) for an agricultural machine, in particular, a nut harvester (1), for picking up and transporting nut fruit (N) along a conveyor device (F), comprising at least:
- at least two endless circulating belts (6, 7) for driving said pick-up web (2),
- several rods (4) extending perpendicular to the direction of transport (F) of said pick-up web (2) and between said endless circulating belts (6, 7), said rods (4) being arranged at a rod spacing (A4) in relation to each other and creating a sieve-type transport surface (5) for transporting and cleaning the nut fruit (N), as well as
- several tappets (8) projecting perpendicularly away from said transport surface (5), each tappet (8) being connected to said at least two endless circulating belts (6, 7) and comprising several sweeping teeth (10) distributed across a length (L) of said tappet (8) as well as a sweeping section (15, 15a) each projecting perpendicularly away from said transport surface (5), each tappet (8) comprises a one-piece basic corpus (9) extending across the length (L) of a tappet (8) and into which said sweeping teeth (10) and a tappet fortification (20, 11) are being embedded, at least in part, whereby said one-piece basic corpus (9) is affixed via a mounting flange (11b) of said tappet fortification (20, 11) to said at least two belts (6, 7) and a posterior edge (15) of said basic corpus (9) projects beyond said sweeping teeth (10) as a sweeping section (15a).
Pick-up web (2) according to one of the above claims, at least two outer belts (6) are provided between which said rods (4) and said tappets (8) are arranged.
Pick-up web (2) according to one of the above claims, said tappet fortification (20) embedded in said basic corpus (9) is designed as a fixing bracket (11), said fixing bracket (11) comprising a bar (11a) protruding into said basic corpus (9) and a mounting flange (11b), said mounting flange (11b) being flush with a contact surface (12) of said tappet (8), said tappet (8) being in contact with said contact surface (12) at said at least two belts (6, 7).
Pick-up web (2) according to one of the above claims, the posterior flange (15a) of said basic corpus (9) is gashed in segments as a sweeping section (15a).
Pick-up web (2) according to one of the above claims, said basic corpus (9) consists of a polymer, preferably rubber.
Pick-up web (2) according to one of the above claims, the posterior flange (15a) of said basic corpus (9) as sweeping section (15a) is fiber-reinforced.
Pick-up web (2) according to one of the above claims, said tappets reinforcement (20) embedded in said basic corpus (9) and/or said sweeping teeth (10) embedded in said basic corpus (9) are made of metal.
