Header with laterally foldable reel tines

A header configured to attachment to a harvesting machine, the header comprising:

• a frame;
• a cutter bar arranged at a front side of the header;
• a receiving surface configured to receive a cut crop;
• conveying devices configured to convey the cut crop in a conveying direction;
• a reel rotatably driven and movably connected to the frame, wherein the reel extends in a direction transverse to a working direction of the header;
• wherein the reel comprises a plurality of reel rake tubes distributed about a circumference of the reel in a rotational direction of the reel;
• wherein the reel comprises reel tines fastened to the reel rake tubes;
• wherein at least some of the reel tines are rotatably supported in a respective bearing at the respective reel rake tube and configured to carry out a rotational movement about a rotation axis along a movement path from a neutral position into one or more evasion positions, when impacted by the cut crop conveyed in the conveying direction of one of the conveying devices arranged in a region of the respective reel tine, and back again into the neutral position, when the cut crop has passed, wherein the movement path is predetermined by a control;
• wherein the one or more evasion positions in relation to the neutral position correspond to a spatial position of the respective reel tine, wherein in the spatial position a free end of the respective reel tine has moved in a direction corresponding to the conveying direction of one of the conveying devices arranged in a region of the respective reel tine, and wherein a distance of the free end of the respective reel tine relative to the respective reel rake tube in the spatial position is reduced in relation to a distance of the free end of the respective reel tine relative to the respective reel rake tube in the neutral position;
• wherein the control comprises:
• a pivot axis forming the rotation axis, wherein the pivot axis is not oriented parallel to a longitudinal extension direction of the respective reel rake tube, or
• a stationary glide surface that is positioned at a slant to the rotation axis and configured as a control gate, wherein the respective reel tine comprises a support surface, wherein the support surface is held on the glide surface and configured to glide on the glide surface when the respective reel tine rotates about the rotation axis.
