Tree trunk holder for wood chipping machine - flexible element presses against tree trunks

摘要

A device for rigidly holding wood or tree trunks in a wood chip manufacturing machine in which the trunk is supported on a feed surface between a pressure device and the cutting tool and as a result of the forward motion of the tool (6) relative to the pressure device, wood chippings are produced, has a retaining device constructed from at least one flexible element (10) which lies, at least partially, between the pressure device (11) and the cutting tool (6) and which presses heavily against the wood or trunk (2).
