Abstract
The threshing cylinder and the surrounding screened cage of an axial flow combine are transversely mounted on the combine and are of a greater axial length than the width of the cleaning section. Threshed material passing through the openings in the cage screen is distributed to a feeding slot above the cleaning section by distribution augers. An overfeed auger is positioned over the inlet to the cage so as to convey threshed material passing through the cylinder cage in the area above the feeder mechanism to a point alongside the feeder mechanism where it is discharged onto a wall sloping to a distribution auger. A pair of distribution augers serve to move threshed material from the bottom of the cage housing which extends laterally beyond the cleaning section laterally inwardly to the feeding slot. The distribution augers have spiraled flights and paddles so pitched and positioned as to obtain a relatively even transverse distribution of the threshed material to the accelerator rolls and thence to the cleaning shoe assembly disposed below the screened cage and threshing cylinder.
