FRUSTO-CONICAL CONVEYOR WITH RETRACTING FINGERS

摘要

A harvesting header (100) comprises a frame (101) having a rear aperture (138). Crop is harvested and fed towards and through the rear aperture (138). A conveyor drum (136) is mounted above and in front of the rear aperture (138). The conveyor drum (136) has a cylindrical section (144) and frusto-conical end sections (148) on both ends of the cylindrical section (144). Retractable fingers (146) extend outwards from the cylindrical section (144) and from each frusto-conical end section (148). The retractable fingers (146) extending from the frusto-conical end sections (148) are angled towards the side.
