AGITATOR RAKE SWATH MAKER Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A01D78/14 A01D78/08 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural mechanical engineering and can be used in haymaking machines. An agitator rake swath maker comprises a beam on support wheels, a drawbar hitch and sections with working wheel attachments. The section position is changed by rotating and lifting mechanisms fitted with section hoisting pipes. The beam is equipped by a reduction gear with a lifting mechanism screw which is coupled with the section rotating and lifting mechanisms by rods and joint nuts. The attachments with working wheels are connected to the ends of the section hoisting pipes by a hinge having an ellipse opening. Fixation is carried out by a holder passing through the ellipse opening; due to the above the attachments in fixed state can be rotated in vertical plane by 15°, in non-fixed state - by 360° in vertical plane and by 90° in horizontal plane.

EFFECT: improving rake maintenance, reducing labour content and time for positioning the device from working state into transportation state and back.
