Abstract
The invention concerns a feeder house (38) with a first conveyor (66) for the transport of harvested crop, a second conveyor arranged downstream of the first conveyor and a mounting arrangement (54) for the mounting of a header (74) to the feeder house. In order to attain an optimum transition of the harvested crop from the header (74) to the first conveyor (66), the mounting arrangement (54) is supported in bearings, free to pivot, relative to the feeder house (38) about an axis that is generally coaxial with the axis (64) of the first conveyor (66).

A feederhouse (38) for a harvesting machine comprising a housing (62), a first conveyor (66) for the transport of harvested crop mounted to the housing (62) and having a horizontal shaft (61) defining a conveyor axis (64), which extends transverse to the direction of conveying, a second conveyor mounted to the housing (62) and arranged downstream of the first conveyor (66), and a mounting arrangement (54) for attachment of a header (74) to the feederhouse (38), the mounting arrangement (54) being free to pivot on the housing (62) about an axis extending coaxially to the axis (64) of the first conveyor (66).
A module (63) for the attachment between a feederhouse (38) containing a conveyor and a header (74), the module (63) comprising a first conveyor (66) and a mounting arrangement (54) for the fastening of the header (74), where the mounting arrangement (54) is supported in bearings, free to pivot about an axis that is coaxial with the axis (64) of the first conveyor (66).
