An expansion device for a bulk goods container includes a frame, a plurality of wall panels that are connected to the frame in an articulated manner to pivot outwardly such that a pivoted-out position delimit an interior space of the expansion device, connecting elements that are connected in an articulated manner to the wall panels at two edges of the connecting elements and first expansion elements that are connected in an articulated manner to an upper edge of the wall panels and are configured to pivot between a position resting against the wall panels and a position that extends the wall panels. The position extending the wall panels, flexible membrane elements are tensioned between the first expansion elements.

A combine harvester includes a grain tank with an upper opening and a foldable attachment disposed on the upper opening. The attachment has two opposing, one-piece, flat attachment parts and two opposing, multiple-component, flat attachment parts. The attachment parts are swivellably disposed on the upper edge of the upper opening of the grain tank, are swivellably connected to one another and, in lying-flat, closed positions, form a cover. The cover at least partially closes the opening. In erected filling positions, the attachment parts increase the volume of the grain tank.

To increase the capacity of an extension attachment for a bulk material container comprising a frame () and a plurality of flaps () linked to the frame (), which are capable of swivelling and, in a swivelled-out position, surround an internal space () of the extension attachment, the internal surface () facing the internal space () of at least of one of the flaps () has a concave shape in the swivelled-out position.

A combine harvester has at least one cleaning device which includes at least one sieve and one cleaning fan, at least one conveyor device for conveying at least a portion of the crop material that exits the cleaning device into a higher region of the combine harvester and including at least one elevator having a lower intake region and an upper transfer region, the crop material being conveyed in the elevator via conveyor plates which are situated on a circulating chain, and the elevator includes, in its lower region, at least two interspaced deflection axles for the circulating chain, which are oriented transversely to the longitudinal extension of the combine harvester.

A device for adjusting the opening width of vibrating sieves in a cleaning mechanism of combine harvesters is arranged on and vibrates directly with the sieves or the sieve frame. The device includes an electric-motor-driven adjusting mechanism which actuates in a direction along an axis which differs from the direction in which the sieve is vibrating. A detector is activated when a particular sieve opening width is achieved. When the detector is activated, the particular opening width is associated with a position of the adjusting mechanism as measured by a position sensor, thereby allowing calibration of further adjustments to the sieve opening.

A combine harvester has a mounted chopper with a wide-distributor discharge, designed such that the need for impeller blowers for distributing the chopped material across the entire cutting width of the combine harvester is eliminated. In the mounted chopper according to the invention, the latter consists of the two chopper units whose shafts carrying the chopper blades are at an obtuse angle to each other and cooperate with corresponding counterblades. Each chopper unit is equipped with an input funnel so that the straw is chopped completely. To distribute the chopped material, each chopper unit is equipped with an ejection fitting, increasing in cross-section towards the rear end. The mounted chopper is particularly suitable for combine harvesters with a wide cutting width.
