PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent part of reaped crops from being tangled with a support arm of a reel type raking device, thus continuing harvesting operation for a long time, in a general-purpose combine harvester.SOLUTION: In the reaping device for a general-purpose combine harvester, a reaping pre-treatment device (13) includes: a horizontal reaping blade device (16) for horizontally reaping planted crops a raking reel (18) for raking the planted crops at an upper position of the horizontal reaping blade device (16) and a raking augar (20) which is pivoted between right and lest support frames (15) in the rear of the horizontal reaping blade device (16), and conveys the reaped crops, wherein, a vertical reaping blade device (5) for vertically severing the planted crops is provided at a lateral end position in a reaping area of the horizontal reaping blade device (16). The reaping device includes a planar shielding body (36) which shields from a reel support arm (19) for supporting the raking reel (18) to the support frame (15).COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、汎用型コンバインにおいて、刈り取った作物の一部がリール式掻き込み装置の支持アームに絡み付くのを防いで、収穫作業を長く継続出来るようにすることを課題とする。【解決手段】植立作物を水平に刈る横刈刃装置(16)と、該横刈刃装置(16)の上方位置で植立作物を掻き込む掻込みリール(18)と、前記横刈刃装置(16)の後側で左右の支持枠(15)の間に軸架されて刈取作物を搬送する掻込みオーガ(20)を刈取前処理装置(13)に備え、前記横刈刃装置(16)の刈取作用域における横側端部位置に、植立作物を垂直方向に分断する縦刈刃装置(5)を設けた汎用コンバインの刈取装置において、前記掻込みリール(18)を支持するリール支持アーム(19)から前記支持枠(15)の内側にわたる板状の遮蔽体(36)を設ける。【選択図】図2
