Abstract
The invention relates to a mower comprising first and second processing rollers, drive elements that are used to drive one of the first and second processing rollers and transmission elements that transmit the movement of rotation from one of the processing rollers to the other. The transmission elements are installed in a housing and the housing comprises a first part and a second part, connected to one another by a joint with a geometric axis directed at least approximately parallel to the axes of rotation of the processing rollers. Each of the parts of the housing is, in addition, mounted to pivot at least approximately around the axis of rotation of the corresponding processing roller.
Claims25
A mower comprising:
- a mowing group equipped with cutting elements and extending crosswise to a direction of work of said mower;
- first and second counter-rotating processing rollers having axes of rotation which extend at least approximately parallel to one another for causing a flow of cut product to pass between said first and second processing rollers, each of said first and second processing rollers comprising a drive shaft;
- a device for guiding said first and second processing rollers for allowing said first and second processing rollers to adjust to a thickness of the flow of the product to be processed;
- drive elements that are used for driving said first processing roller;
- and
- transmission elements which can comprise some of said drive elements, said transmission elements transmitting a rotation movement from said first processing roller to said second processing roller, regardless of a spacing of the first and second processing rollers allowed by the guide device during work;
- wherein:
- said transmission elements are installed in a housing, said housing comprising a first part and a second part which are hinged to one another by a joint, said joint having a geometric axes which is directed at least approximately parallel to the axes of rotation of the first and second processing rollers;
- and
- each of said first and second parts is mounted to pivot at least approximately around the axis of rotation of a corresponding one of said first and second processing rollers.
