PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To raise operability of a guide rod on an auxiliary chain and a feed chain guide on a feed chain, and to improve efficiency in reaping and threshing operation.SOLUTION: An apparatus for taking over and transporting reaped grain culms of a combine harvester is designed to take over the side of plant feet of the grain culms reaped with a reaping part (5) from the supply chain (22) on the side of the reaping part (5) to the auxiliary chain (69) and a starting end of the feed chain (21). The apparatus for taking over and transporting the reaped grain culms of the combine harvester is provided with the guide rod (84) for taking over the grain culms oppositely from the upper side and guiding the grain culms to the auxiliary chain (69) and the feed chain guide (83) for taking over and guiding the side of the plant feet of the grain culms oppositely from the upper side to the starting end of the feed chain (21) so as to allow change-over from a state of standing nearly vertically to a state lodged with the side of the reaping part (5) as a fulcrum, and a latching part (K) is installed for latching the feed chain guide (83) onto the stood guide rod (84), and holding the same in a standing state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】補助チェン上のガイド杆とフィードチェン上のフィードチェンガイドの操作性を高め、刈取脱穀作業の能率を向上させる。【解決手段】刈取部(5)で刈り取った穀稈の株元側を刈取部(5)側の供給チェン(22)から補助チェン(69)とフィードチェン(21)の始端部に引き継ぐコンバインの刈取穀稈引継ぎ搬送装置において、補助チェン(69)に上側から対向して穀稈を引き継ぎ案内するガイド杆(84)と、フィードチェン(21)の始端部に上側から対向して穀稈の株元側を引き継ぎ案内するフィードチェンガイド(83)を、刈取部(5)側を支点にして略垂直に起立した状態と倒伏した状態とに切換え可能に設け、起立したガイド杆(84)に対してフィードチェンガイド(83)を係止して起立状態に保持する係止部(K)を設ける。【選択図】図11
