Abstract:
Device for picking up covering a spread-out sheet of fabrics from plantation fields, comprising a shaft which is mountable on a wheel-borne vehicle, and rotatable with the purpose of winding the fabric into a roll, characterized in that the same comprises a capturing device (9), which is arranged on a registration arm (13) placeable at the front of the vehicle (1), and includes an opening through which a fabric (8) spread-out on a field may be pulled in while forming a narrow strand, that the rotatable shaft (11) is axially placed on the vehicle (1) in order to be able to receive as well as liberate a separate reel (10) intended for winding the strand-shaped fabric by driving the vehicle in the direction backwards or forwards, and that there are means (14, 14', 14"") between the capturing device (9) and the shaft (11) for guiding the strand of the fabric in a gathered state from the capturing device to the reel (10), said means including a passageway for said fabric restricted in size relative to the opening of said capturing device for shaping said fabric into a comparatively narrow strand, a mechanism (12) being arranged in proximity of the shaft (11) to evenly distribute the arriving strand of fabric onto the reel.
