Abstract
A cutting member of a cutting machine driven in rotation about an upwardly directed axis of revolution. The cutting member comprises at least two supports each carrying a cutting element, and at least two active areas each located in a region of a corresponding cutting element. The active areas are exposed, during the work, to a product cut previously by the cutting elements, and they are contributing to the conveying of the cut product. Each support includes an upper part which forms at least a corresponding active area.

A cutting member of a cutting machine driven in rotation about an upwardly directed axis of revolution, said cutting member comprising:
- cutting elements;
- at least two supports each supporting one of said cutting elements;
- at least two active faces each located in a region of a corresponding one of said cutting elements and each exposed, during a cutting operation, to a product previously cut by said cutting elements to form a cut product, each active face of said at least two active faces contributing to a conveying of said cut product;
- a first part configured to fasten said cutting member to a shaft of longitudinal axis coincident with said upwardly directed axis of revolution;
- and
- a second part of elongate shape which includes, on a first side, a first end near which a first support of said at least two supports is located and, on a second side, a second end near which a second support is located, wherein each of said first and second supports includes an upper part forming at least a corresponding one of said at least two active faces, said second part including, at first and second ends, an upper surface, said upper part of each of said first and second supports including an upper surface, and said upper surface of said second part lying at a same height as said upper part of each of said first and second supports.
A cutting machine hitched to a motor vehicle and including a cutting mechanism having at least one cutting member, said cutting member comprising:
- cutting elements;
- at least two supports each supporting one of said cutting elements;
- at least two active faces each located in a region of a corresponding one of said cutting elements and each exposed, during a cutting operation, to a product previously cut by said cutting elements to form a cut product, each active face of said at least two active faces contributing to a conveying of said cut product;
- a first part configured to fasten said cutting member to a shaft of longitudinal axis coincident with said upwardly directed axis of revolution;
- and
- a second part of elongate shape which includes, on a first side, a first end near which a first support of said at least two supports is located and, on a second side, a second end near which a second support is located, wherein each of said first and second supports includes an upper part forming at least a corresponding one of said at least two active faces, said second part including, at first and second ends, an upper surface, said upper part of each of said first and second supports including an upper surface, and said upper surface of said second part lying at a same height as said upper part of each of said first and second supports.
