Harvesting arrangement

Claim 2

A harvesting arrangement for harvesting corn and other grain fruits and formed as a front implement of a harvester thresher, the harvesting arrangement comprising drawing means for drawing harvested product from a field; means forming a picking gap for separating ears from stalks; a picking roller provided for each stalk row, said picking roller including a substantially cylindrical base body with a casing provided with a plurality of impact plates having cut outs; a partial casing partially surrounding said picking roller; cutting means including a plurality of individual cutters arranged horizontally adjacent to one another and each having a free-running end which faces toward said base body and an opposite end which faces away from said base body, said casing of said base body having a plurality of recesses in which said free running ends of said cutters are introduced; and holding means arranged to rigidly and immovably support said opposite ends of said cutters and at the same time so that each of said cutters is adjustable relative to said base body independently of said partial casing and in direction towards said body.

Claim 3

A harvesting arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said body has an axis, said recesses in which said free-running ends of said cutters are introduced are formed as circular recesses extending around said axis.

Claim 4

A harvesting arrangement as defined in claim 2, wherein said picking roller has an axis of rotation, said holding means including a traverse extending parallel to said axis of rotation of said picking roller, said opposite ends of said cutters being supported adjustably on said traverse.

Claim 5

A harvesting arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said base body of said picking roller is formed as a relatively thin-walled cylindrical pipe, said recess being formed as circular grooves in said cylindrical pipe.

Claim 6

A harvesting arrangement for harvesting corn and other grain fruits and formed as a front implement of a harvester thresher, the harvesting arrangement comprising drawing means for drawing harvested product from a field; means forming a picking gap for separating ears from stalks; a picking roller provided for each stalk row, said picking roller including a substantially cylindrical base body with a casing provided with a plurality of impact plates having cut outs; a partial casing partially surrounding said picking roller; cutting means including a plurality of individual cutters arranged horizontally adjacent to one another and each having a free-running end which faces toward said base body and an opposite end which faces away from said base body said casing of said base body having a plurality of recesses in which said free running ends of said cutters are introduced; and holding means arranged to rigidly and immovably support said opposite ends of said cutters and at the same time so that each of said cutters is adjustable relative to said base body independently of said partial casing and in direction towards said body, said base body of said picking roller being formed as a pipe provided with a plurality of circular beads extending parallel to one another, said recesses being formed as circular grooves provided in said circular beads.

Claim 7

A harvesting arrangement for harvesting corn and other grain fruits and formed as a front implement of a harvester thresher, the harvesting arrangement comprising drawing means for drawing harvested product from a field; means forming a picking gap for separating ears from stalks; a picking roller provided for each stalk row, said picking roller including a substantially cylindrical base body with a casing provided with a plurality of impact plates having cut outs; a partial casing partially surrounding said picking roller; cutting means including a plurality of individual cutters arranged horizontally adjacent to one another and each having a free-running end which faces toward said base body and an opposite end which faces away from said base body said casing of said base body having a plurality of recesses in which said free running ends of said cutters are introduced; and holding means arranged to rigidly and immovably support said opposite ends of said cutters and at the same time so that each of said cutters is adjustable relative to said base body independently of said partial casing and in direction towards said body, said base body of said picking roller being formed as a pipe provided with a plurality of circular beads extending parallel to one another, said recesses being formed as circular grooves provided in said circular beads.

Claim 8

A harvesting arrangement as defined in claim 5, wherein said pipe which forms said base body has an inner surface, said beads being provided on said inner surface of said pipe.

Claim 9

A harvesting arrangement as defined in claim 5, wherein said pipe which forms said base body has an outer surface, said beads being provided on said outer surface of said pipe.

Claim 10

A harvesting arrangement as defined in claim 5, wherein said pipe which forms said base body has inner and outer surfaces, said beads being provided on said inner and outer surfaces of said pipe.

Claim 11

A harvesting arrangement for harvesting corn and other grain fruits and formed as a front implement of a harvester thresher, the harvesting arrangement comprising drawing means for drawing harvested product from a field; means forming a picking gap for separating ears from stalks; a rotatable picking roller provided for each stalk row, said picking roller including a substantially cylindrical base body with a casing provided with a plurality of impact plates having cut outs; a partial casing partially surrounding said picking roller; cutting means including a plurality of individual cutters arranged horizontally adjacent to one another and each having a free-running end which faces toward said base body and an opposite end which faces away from said base body, said casing of said base body having a plurality of recesses in which said free running ends of said cutters are introduced; and holding means arranged to rigidly and immovably support said opposite ends of said cutters and at the same time so that each of said cutters is adjustable relative to said base body independently of said partial casing and in direction towards said base body of said picking roller being formed as a relatively thin-walled cylindrical pipe having an axis, said recesses in which said free-running ends of said cutters are introduced being formed as circular grooves in said cylindrical pipe, said holding means including a traverse extending parallel to said axis of said body of said picking roller, said opposite ends of said cutters being supported adjustably on said traverse.

Claim 12

A harvesting arrangement for harvesting corn and other grain fruits and formed as a front implement of a harvester thresher, the harvesting arrangement comprising drawing means for drawing harvested product from a field; means forming a picking gap for separating ears from stalks; a rotatable picking roller provided for each stalk row, said picking roller including a substantially cylindrical base body with a casing provided with a plurality of impact plates having cut outs; a partial casing partially surrounding said picking roller; cutting means including a plurality of individual cutters arranged horizontally adjacent to one another and each having a free-running end which faces toward said base body and an opposite end which faces away from said base body, said casing of said base body having a plurality of recesses in which said free running ends of said cutters are introduced; and holding means arranged to rigidly and immovably support said opposite ends of said cutters and at the same time so that each of said cutters is adjustable relative to said base body independently of said partial casing and in direction towards said base body of said picking roller being formed as a relatively thin-walled cylindrical pipe having an axis, said recesses in which said free-running ends of said cutters are introduced being formed as circular grooves in said cylindrical pipe, said holding means including a traverse extending parallel to said axis of said body of said picking roller, said opposite ends of said cutters being supported adjustably on said traverse.
