Abstract:
1. A pick-up device, comprising: tools for raking and picking up products lying on the ground, configured to be mounted on a support framework of an agricultural machine; a rigid frame; a first work unit and a second work unit, each of the first and second work units comprising a displacement device for moving picked up products, the first and second work units being arranged one beside the other when viewed in a direction of advance and at a small distance from one another in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of advance, the first work unit being connected directly to the frame by a first articulation having a first axis extending substantially in the direction of advance, the second work unit being connected directly to the frame by a second articulation having a second axis extending substantially in the direction of advance and being distinct from the first axis, the first work unit comprising a first pick-up rotor which can rotate about a third axis, the second work unit comprising a second pick-up rotor which can rotate about a fourth axis, the first work unit and the second work unit being connected to one another by a guidance means, at least one stop means defining two work end positions of the first and second work units with respect to the frame, between which the first and second work units can pivot freely within a limited range about their respective first and second articulations with the frame, wherein the first and second work units remain connected to one another via the guidance means regardless of their position between the work end positions.
