A01D 2101/00
Methods, apparatus or hand tools for Separation of useful parts of plants (e.g. seeds, fruits, roots, stalks or leaves) from the remainder of the plants in the place where the plants are grown; Mowing of plants (e.g. grass or cereals), regardless of whether the intention is to make use of the mown plants or not; Gathering of whole plants (e.g. root crops or onions) or their useful parts (e.g. fallen fruit) from where the plants grow or from the ground; Haymaking, i.e. working on mown forage crop lying on the ground with the intention to make hay. Hand rakes. Forks Non-abrasive sharpening devices for scythes, sickles or the like. Containers for whetstones for use during harvesting. Machines specially adapted for binding of harvested hay, straw or similar crops in the field. Arrangements for making or setting of stacks, used in connection with harvesting. Vehicles specially adapted for carrying harvested crops with means for self-loading or unloading. Relationships with other classification places Combined or convertible apparatus This subclass covers mowers combined with apparatus performing additional operations (e.g. threshing) while mowing, mowers convertible to apparatus for purposes other than mowing (e.g. for sweeping snow), and mowers capable of performing operations other than mowing (e.g. soil-working). The non-mowing parts of such mowers are only covered by this subclass if they are immediately associated with the mowing parts or the mowing process. Otherwise they are covered by the places for the non-mowing operations. This subclass covers digging harvesters (e.g. for root crops) combined with apparatus performing additional operations (e.g. topping, separating or planting) while harvesting. The non-harvesting parts of such combinations are only covered by this subclass if they are immediately associated with the harvesting parts or the harvesting process. Otherwise they are covered by the places for the non- harvesting operations. Hand tools for soil working This subclass covers hand tools for soil working when specially adapted for harvesting, for example of root crops. This subclass also covers rakes and forks. A01B 1/00 covers hand tools for soil working in general, e.g. spades, shovels or hoes, with the exception of rakes and forks. Binding 1 A01D (continued) Relationships with other classification places This subclass covers apparatus specially adapted for binding of harvested hay, straw or similar crops, with the exception of stationary apparatus or hand tools, which are covered by A01F 1/00, and binding apparatus specially adapted for baling presses, which is covered by A01F 15/14. Binding in general is covered by B65B, for example B65B 13/00 and B65B 27/12. Shredding or pulverising This subclass covers the shredding or pulverising of stubble or other vegetation in situ, e.g. for the purpose of producing mulch, but does not cover other mechanical destruction of unwanted vegetation, which is covered by group A01M 21/02.
