PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the functionality of a thresher and a combine harvester equipped with the thresher, to improve the operation efficiency of threshing and to reduce the production cost.SOLUTION: The thresher is constituted by arranging a nipping and conveying terminal part of a feed chain (34) at the site near to a rear side wall (25) or a site dislocated rearward from the rear side wall (25), and opening a straw-discharging port (32) formed at the rear side wall (25) so as to be directed to the outside of the thresher (3), and is regulated so that the site of the waste straw at the ear side after the threshing can be cut by a cutting blade (37) present at the rear terminal part of a threshing cylinder (27) and directly discharged to the outside of the thresher (3) from the straw-discharging port (32), and the site of the waste straw at the root side after the threshing can directly be discharged to the outside of the thresher (3) from the nipping and conveying terminal part of the feed chain (34).COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】脱穀装置およびこの脱穀装置を搭載するコンバインの機動性を向上させると共に、脱穀作業能率の向上および製造原価の低減を図る。【解決手段】フィードチェン(34)の挟持搬送終端部を後側壁(25)の近傍の部位あるいは後側壁(25)よりも後方に偏倚した部位に配置すると共に、後側壁(25)に形成した排稈口(32)を脱穀装置(3)の外部に向けて開口し、脱穀後の排稈の穂先側の部位が扱胴(27)後端部の切断刃(37)で切断されて排稈口(32)から脱穀装置(3)の外部へ直接排出され、脱穀後の排稈の株元側の部位はフィードチェン(34)の挟持搬送終端部から脱穀装置(3)の外部へ直接排出される構成とする。【選択図】 図2
