Abstract
The invention relates to a harvesting machine provided with rotary separating means, grain cleaning means located generally below the rotary separating means and at a central location below and between transversely spaced separator discharge openings, and deflector means to convey and deflect crop material from locations generally below and at both sides of the cleaning means rearwardly and inwardly to a central location generally to the rear of the discharge end of the cleaning means. The deflector means are comprised of overhead and lateral deflectors positioned at predetermined angles to one another to progressively change the direction of movement of the discharged crop material from a generally fore-and-aft path towards the central discharge location.
