Mower and/or aerating device

A mower and/or aerating device with a mower drum and/or aerating drum (8) rotating around a horizontal axis disposed perpendicular to the vehicle advance direction, where the mower drum and/or aerating drum (8) feeds material cut and/or removed from the ground to a transverse transport worm (16), rotating around a rotation axis (24) running parallel to the mower drum (8) and/or aerating drum and disposed in a transport trough (15), and a longitudinal transport worm (17) disposed with its lower end below a center region of the transverse transport worm (16) with an angle of 90.degree. disposed between a longitudinal transport worm axis and the rotation axis (24) of the transverse transport worm (16), wherein

• a transfer element (21) is disposed at the transport trough (15) and separates the mower drum (8) and/or aerating drum and the transverse transport worm (16), wherein the transfer element (21) is disposed such that the material is thrown by the mower drum (8) into the transport trough (15), and wherein the transfer element (21) exhibits its largest width at a location corresponding to a transfer region from the transverse transport worm (16) to the longitudinal transport worm (17), wherein the transfer element assures that the speed of the material blown by the mower remains substantially constant until the transport trough (15) is reached.

A mower and/or aerating device with a rotating drum, rotating around a horizontal axis disposed perpendicular to the vehicle advance direction, wherein the rotating drum feeds material cut and/or removed from the ground to a transverse transport worm (16) rotating around a rotation axis (24) disposed parallel to an axis of the rotating drum, wherein said transverse transport worm (16) is disposed in a transport trough (15), and where a longitudinal transport worm (17) adjoins below a center region of the transverse transport worm (16) at an angle of 90.degree. relative to the transverse transport worm (16), wherein

• the transverse transport worm (16) exhibits spirals (22) running from its outer edges in opposite direction toward its center, wherein the ends (52, 54) of the spirals (22) are disposed in the center region of the transverse transport worm (16) and are staggered by 180.degree. relative to each other, wherein delivery plates (20) are disposed at the end (52, 54) of each spiral (22), which delivery plates (20) are extending at least nearly parallel to the rotation axis (24) of the transverse transport worm (16).
