ROLLER WITH SEMI-HOLLOW PNEUMATIC TYRES FOR AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY, NOTABLY A ROLLER THAT CAN BE COMBINED WITH A SEED DRILL OR A GROUND PREPARATION TOOL
First Claim
1. Roller of an agricultural machine, notably a roller that can be combined with a seed drill or a ground preparation tool, this roller (10) comprising a tubular support structure (14) of horizontal axis (X-X) adapted to be rotatably mounted on a tractor-drawn support frame, with a series of semi-hollow tyres (12) having a profile of a selected shape, particularly a dome-shaped profile, which are threaded onto this tubular support structure, enabling a series of parallel furrows to be formed in the earth,characterised in that the tubular support structure (14) comprises a framework made up of a plurality of bars (30) joined together by two circular end cheeks (32) between which these bars extend axially, and in that the tyres (12) are mounted on said bars of the framework, forming with the latter an assembly that is connected for rotation and translation.

Abstract
This roller (10) comprises a tubular support structure (14) of horizontal axis (X-X) adapted to be rotatably mounted on a tractor-drawn support frame. A series of semi-hollow tyres with a dome-shaped profile are threaded onto this tubular support structure and enable a series of parallel furrows to be formed in the earth. The tubular support structure (14) comprises a framework formed by a plurality of bars (30) joined together by two circular end cheeks (32) between which these bars extend axially. The tyres (12) are mounted on the bars of the framework, forming with the latter an assembly that is connected for rotation and translation.
