<p>The present invention discloses a kernel extraction mechanism (10), for a work vehicle, which functionally cooperates with a conveyor arrangement for conveying articles to a delivery end. The kernel extraction mechanism (10) includes an elongated housing (12) formed by an arcuate surface (22) configured between adjacent planar surfaces and a pair of mounting plates (14) to define an enclosed space therebetween. Each of the arcuate surfaces (22) defines a plurality of recesses. An eccentric shaft is positioned within the enclosed space to support a plurality of displaceable members (16), associated with one of the arcuate surfaces (22). The displaceable members (16) are displaceable between a projected configuration and a retracted configuration. Optionally, a plurality of fixed member (18) is provided so as to project from each of the planar surfaces.</p> |
