Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a machine which is pulled or attached to a three-point attachment on a tractor and used for the harvesting of corn or similar stalk-like crops. The machine has a cutting device and a chopping blower arranged subsequent thereto with slide-in rollers to which the crop is supplied by a cross-conveyor running transversely to the direction of travel of the tractor. The cross-conveyor is designed as a cutting and supplying device, cutting the crop at any point in the working area, holding it above the cut area and supplying it in an approximately upright or inclined position, opposite to the conveying direction, to the slide-in rollers or a chopping machine with simultaneous release.
A machine for the harvesting of corn or similar stalk-like crops comprising a frame means, a cutting and supplying means mounted on said frame means and operable to cut said crop and convey the cut crop generally transversely of the direction of travel of the machine, said cutting and supplying means comprising a fixed knife means extending transversely to the direction of travel of the machine, said cutting and supply means further comprising endless chain means having portions extending generally transversely of the direction of travel of the machine, and chopping means mounted on said frame means in a position to receive said cut crop after the latter has been conveyed transversely by said cutting and supplying means, said cutting and supplying means further comprising a holding means, said holding means being carried by said chain means for pushing crop to be cut against said fixed cutting knife means for cutting said crop and for holding the cut crop in an inclined disposition as the cut crop is conveyed to said chopping means.
A machine for the harvesting of corn or similar stalk-like crops comprising a frame means, a cutting and supplying means mounted on said frame means and operable to cut said crop and convey the cut crop generally transversely of the direction of travel of the machine, said cutting and supplying means comprising a fixed and non-reciprocating knife means extending transversely to the direction of travel of the machine, said cutting and supply means further comprising endless chain means having portions extending generally transversely of the direction of travel of the machine, and chopping means mounted on said frame means in a position to receive said cut crop after the latter has been conveyed transversely by said cutting and supplying means, said cutting and supplying means further comprising a holding means, said holding means being carried by said chain means for engaging and pushing the crop to be cut against said fixed and non-reciprocating knife means for cutting said crop and for holding the cut crop in an inclined disposition as the cut crop is conveyed to said chopping means.
A machine for the harvesting of corn or similar stalk-like crops comprising a frame means, a cutting and supplying means mounted on said frame means and operable to cut said crop and convey the cut crop generally transversely of the direction of travel of the machine, said cutting and supplying means comprising a fixed and non-reciprocating knife means extending transversely to the direction of travel of the machine, said cutting and supply means further comprising endless chain means having portions extending generally transversely of the direction of travel of the machine, and chopping means mounted on said frame means in a positio to receive said cut crop after the latter has been conveyed transversely by said cutting and supplying means, said cutting and supplying means further comprising a holding means, said holding means being carried by said chain means for engaging and pushing the crop to be cut against said fixed and non-reciprocating cutting knife means such that during the cutting action, the cut crop is displaced from a generally upright position to an inclined position in which the lower portion of the cut crop is disposed ahead of the upper portion in the direction of travel of said holding means, said holding means being operable to positively engage and hold said cut crop in said inclined dispositio and convey the engaged and cut crop to said chopping means.
Machine for the harvesting of corn or similar stalk-like crops, comprising an endless revolving chain carrying a drawing-in and conveying means which includes laterally projecting grippers, a fixed cutting means extending traversely of the direction of travel of the machine, said drawing-in and conveying apparatus conveying the stalks of the harvested crop, which have been cut by said cutting means which are caught by said grippers, essentially upright into a subsequently arranged chopping blower with a drawing-in roller, wherein the stalks are freed by the grippers as the chain returns, said drawing-in and conveying means and said cutting means extending at least approximately transversely to the driving direction of the machine and are combined in a parallel arrangement to each other into a unitary cutting/conveying apparatus which determines the working width.
