| 20090249763 | CURTAIN TO DIRECT CROP IN A HEADER - A curtain for directing severed crop movement in a cutting header in an agricultural harvester. The curtain optimizes crop movement between a cutterbar to a crop conveying auger for lateral movement of the crop material from outboard ends of the cutting header toward an interior discharge zone for formation of a windrow. The curtain also reduces the tendency for clogging that occurs when crop approaches conveying augers on both sides of an axial centerline by directing all crop material toward the trailing side of the rotating auger and by preventing airflow generated by the auger from disrupting crop approaching the auger. Crop smoothing by the curtain also reduces disturbances to the crop material during movement within the header which reduces seed loss in seed-bearing specialty crops. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20130019581 | STEM DEFLECTOR - A stem deflector is provided. The stem deflector includes an arm and a shoe having a first end and a second end. The first end of the shoe is coupled to the arm with a suitable fastener. At least one torsion spring is active between the arm and the shoe. | 01-24-2013 |
| 20130125523 | Stem Deflector - A stem deflector is provided. The stem deflector includes an arm and a shoe having a first end and a second end. The first end of the shoe is coupled to the arm with a suitable fastener. At least one torsion spring is active between the arm and the shoe. | 05-23-2013 |
| 20130174528 | Stem Deflector Mount - A method and apparatus for rotatably mounting a stem deflector to a toolbar. The apparatus includes a base that attaches to the toolbar. The apparatus also includes a rotatable member that attaches to the stem deflector. A position of the rotatable member is adjustable relative to the base. | 07-11-2013 |
| 20130174529 | Stem Deflector Mount - A method and apparatus for attaching a toolbar with at least one mounted stem deflector to a combine head. The apparatus includes at least one head bracket that attaches to the combine head. The apparatus also includes at least one rotatable member that couples to the toolbar. A position of the at least one rotatable member is adjustable relative to the combine head. The apparatus also includes an actuator that adjusts the position of the at least rotatable member relative to the combine head. | 07-11-2013 |
| 20140116020 | Crop Divider for an Agricultural Harvesting Head - A crop divider ( | 05-01-2014 |
| 20140311116 | STEM DEFLECTOR - A stem deflector is provided. The stem deflector includes an arm and a shoe having a first end and a second end. The first end of the shoe is coupled to the arm with a suitable fastener. At least one torsion spring is active between the arm and the shoe. | 10-23-2014 |
| 20150143789 | FLUID CIRCUIT FOR BALE EJECTION - The present invention relates to a hydraulic circuit mechanically linked to a panel and agricultural harvesters comprising the same. The hydraulic circuit of the present invention can be used to facilitate the transition of hydraulic states from a quick speed to a slow speed, when opening and closing the panel. The hydraulic circuit comprises a restrictive orifice and a fluid stop valve that, when opened, diverts the path of pressurized fluid away from a hydraulic actuator during the actuator's extension. The diversion of pressurized fluid away from the hydraulic cylinder or through the restrictive orifice substantially reduces the speed at which the panel opens or closes. | 05-28-2015 |
