Grain lifter

Abstract

A grain lifter for a combine harvester mowing system with mowing fingers (2) has a carrier rail (6) that receives a fixing element (10). The fixing element (10) is connected to the carrier rail (6) which, in turn, secures the grain lifter to the mowing finger (2). The fixing element (10) includes a holding element (11) with two spaced arms (12, 12a). The tip of the mowing finger (2) can be introduced between the two arms. A locking lever (17) is supported on a pivot pin (16), between the two arms (12, 12a) of the holding element (11). The locking lever (17) has a first lever arm (18) with a supporting face (19). The supporting face (19) contacts the upper face (20) of the mowing finger (2). A second lever arm (21) of the locking lever (17) includes three engaging faces (22, 22a, 22b). A locking element, in the form of a leaf spring (25), is provided. The leaf spring (25) has an end face (26) which, depending on the pivot position of the locking lever (17), establishes contact with one of the engaging faces (22, 22a, 22b). Accordingly, this secures the locking lever (17), so that the carrier rail (6) can be positioned at different distances from the mowing finger (2).
