Description
SPECIFICATION
Improvements in or relating to mobile gathering machines
The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to mobile gathering machines and particularly but not exclusively to machines for gathering crops such as sugar beet.
Mobile gathering machines such as excavators are known which comprise a gathering scoop pivotably mounted to one end of an arm. The scoop opens towards the operator of the machine so that gathering is effected by moving the arm to which the scoop is mounted and thereby the scoop towards the operator. This enables the operatortoseewhatis being gathered in the scoop.
A disadvantage of using such a machine for gathering crops such as sugar beet is that it is more effective to scoop away from the operator. Also known scoops are made entirely of metal and this can be harmful to the crops and can cause damage from stonesontheground as the scoop is moved on the ground.
It is an object of the present invention to reduce the above disadvantages and to enable crops such as sugar beet to be gathered effectively.
According to the present invention there is provided a mobile gathering machine comprising an arm, a scoop connected to one end of the arm, and means for pivoting the scoop from a gathering position in which the scoop opens forward and a carrying position in which the scoop opens upwards, the scoop having a front edge comprising a resilient material.
The means for pivoting the scoop may comprise a piston and cylinder arrangement in which the cylinder is mounted to the arm and the piston is connected to a piston rod mounted to the scoop.
The front edge of the scoop may comprise a plurality of rubbertines.
Also according to the present invention there is provided an arm for a mobile gathering machine, which arm is connected at one end thereof to a scoop, means being provided for pivoting the scoop from a gathering position in which the scoop opens forwards and a carrying position in which the scoop opens upwards, the scoop having a front edge comprising a resilient material.
Further according to the present invention there is provided a scoop for a mobile gathering machine, which scoop comprises a front edge comprising a resilient material.
The present invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawing,thesinglefigureofwhich shows an arm of a mobile gathering machine, provided with a pivotable scoop mounted to one end of the arm.
Referring to the drawing, an arm 1 is pivotally connected to one end of an arm 2 at 3. The other end of the arm 2 is mounted to the operator station of, for example, a tracked vehicle (not shown). An hydraulic cylinder 4 is pivotally mounted to the arm 1. Slidable within the cylinder is a piston connected to a piston rod Swhich is connected to a scoop or bucket 6 pivotally mounted to the front end of the arm 1 at7.
The piston rod 5 is guided by curved guide elements 8 pivotally mounted at9tothe arm 1. The scoop 6 opensforwards,that is, awayfrom the operator and at its lower front edge as shown in the drawing the scoop is provided with a plurality of rubber tines 10.
The rubbertines enable the scoop to be moved across rough surfaces without causing excessive damage to the scoop orthe load being gathered.
1. Amobilegathering machine comprising an arm, a scoop connected to one end of the arm, and means for pivoting the scoop from a gathering position in which the scoop opens forward and a carrying position in which the scoop opens upwards, the scoop having a front edge comprising a resilient material.
2. Amobilegathering machine according to claim 1, wherein the means for pivoting the scoop comprises a piston and cylinder arrangement in which the cylinder is mounted to the arm and the piston is connected to a piston rod mounted to the scoop.
3. Amobilegathering machineaccordingto claim 1 or2whereinthefrontedgeofthescoop comprises a plurality of rubber tines.
4. Anarmfora mobile gathering machine,which arm is connected at one end thereofto a scoop, means being provided for pivoting the scoop from a gathering position in which the scoop opens forwards and a carrying position in which the scoop opens upwards, scoop having a front edge comprising a resilient material.
5. Ascoopfora mobile gathering machine, which scoop comprises a front edge comprising a resilient material.
6. A mobile gathering machine substantially as hereinbefore defined with reference to the accompanying drawing.
7. An arm for a mobile gathering machine substantially as herein before defined with reference to the accompanying drawing.
8. Ascoopfora mobile gathering machine substantially as herein before defined with reference to the accompanying drawing.
