Abstract

A distributing device for chaff choppers for attachment to mowing-threshing machines has a top cover plate, beneath which right and left groups of baffles are arranged next to one another, preferably at right angles to the cover plate. The baffles are pivotably supported around axles at their ends facing the chopper and spaced therefrom, while being rigidly connected by guide bolts penetrating guide slots in the cover plate or in the machine casing. A set bar is associated with each group of baffles. The baffles are connected with each other by the guide bolts which are rotatable in fixed bearings and by two guide rails, and, at their ends facing the chopper, rotatably and displaceably arranged in points on the cover plate. The guide slots of each group extend displaced relative to each other in a transverse direction, substantially parallel to each other and to a line through the axles. The set bars are outwardly inclined to that line and spacing of the guide bolts from the axles decreases from baffle to baffle in correspondence with outward displacement of the guide slots. A set leave is connected jointedly to each set bar, and is articulated in a point spaced from its point of articulation on the set bar on the cover plate. A coupling rod connects the set levers. Thus, the groups of baffles can be adjusted to different extents. The set levers are displaceably connected with the coupling rod and displaceable lengthwise to extents limited by stops.
