Abstract:
An adjustment arrangement for reel tine carriers for a cereal cutting device comprising:a reel rotatable around an axis of rotation; tine carriers carrying reaping tines coupled with said reel are off-set radially to the axis of rotation and are arranged parallel to the axis of rotation, said tine carriers being adjustable around an adjustment axis which extends parallel to the axis of rotation; a control element including a continuous loop first control curve diverting from a circular path, said reel being rotatably arranged with respect to said first control curve, and said first control curve encloses the reel axis of rotation and said first control curve arranged between the axis of rotation and an output element, said output element connectable to the tine carrier; and a separate adjustment gear coupled with said tine carrier, said adjustment gear rotating said tine carrier about said adjustment axis adjusting the position of said tine as said tine carrier rotates about the axis of rotation; a driving element pivotably supported around a pivoting axis on the reel, said driving element being pivotably adjusted by the first control curve by a driving angle of rotation, and said output element being adjusted by an output angle of rotation, wherein a ratio is provided so that the output angle of rotation is larger than the driving angle of rotation.
