Machine for cutting off tobacco leaves with stem holding for eastern type plants for harvesting, layering and collecting the leaves in collection containers
Machine for holding the stem of the plant, cutting off, harvesting, and arrangement into a mesh container, ready for drying ("curing"), of eastern type tobacco leaves.Which is composed of:A) A mechanism for holding the plant during the cutting off (figure 2.1).B) A mechanism for opening up and cutting off the leaves from the plant (figure 5.2, figure 5.3, figure 5.4).C) A mechanism for harvesting and conveying the leaves towards the collection containers (figure 7.7, figure 7.9. figure 8.2).D) A mechanism for layering the leaves (figure 8.3) in mesh containers (figure 8.1), holding the leaves in the container with needles (figure 9.1), in order to keep the leaves in place when perpendicular for curing (figure 9.7).E) A vehicle to which these mechanisms are fitted, and by which these mechanisms are driven (figure 10).
