Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A threshing or separating concave for grain harvesting is equipped with curved cheeks, between which concave bars having an elongated cross-sectional profile extend, the curved inside edges of which are provided with a rounded inside edge, and having concave rods extending in the direction of the curve, which pass through holes in the concave bars that are immediately adjacent to the rounded inside edge.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A threshing or separating concave for grain harvesting, having curved cheeks, between which concave bars having an elongated cross-sectional profile with a rounded inside edge extend, and having concave rods that extend in the same direction as the curved cheeks and extend through holes in the concave bars, wherein the holes are immediately adjacent to the rounded inside edge. 2. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 1 , where the rounded inside edges transition directly to the holes. 3. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 2 , where the concave bars extend perpendicular to the curved cheeks or at an acute angle thereto. 4. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 2 , where the concave rods extend parallel to the curved cheeks or at an acute angle to the curved cheeks and/or perpendicular to the concave bars or at an obtuse angle thereto. 5. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 2 , where the radius of the rounded inside edges corresponds to half of the thickness, measured in the direction of the curve of concave bars that have a rectangular cross-sectional profile. 6. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 1 , where the concave bars extend perpendicular to the curved cheeks or at an acute angle thereto. 7. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 6 , where the concave rods extend parallel to the curved cheeks or at an acute angle to the curved cheeks and/or perpendicular to the concave bars or at an obtuse angle thereto. 8. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 6 , where the radius of the rounded inside edges corresponds to half of the thickness, measured in the direction of the curve of concave bars that have a rectangular cross-sectional profile. 9. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 1 , where the concave rods extend parallel to the curved cheeks or at an acute angle to the cheeks and/or perpendicular to the concave bars or at an obtuse angle thereto. 10. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 9 , where the radius of the rounded inside edges corresponds to half of the thickness, measured in the direction of the curve of concave bars that have a rectangular cross-sectional profile. 11. The threshing or separating concave as in claim 1 , where the radius of the rounded inside edges corresponds to half of the thickness, measured in the direction of the curve of concave bars that have a rectangular cross-sectional profile. 12. A threshing system, having a threshing drum or a tangential separator and a threshing or separating concave interacting therewith as in claim 1 . 13. A combine harvester with a threshing system as in claim 12 .
