Definitions
- This invention relates to harvesting equipment, and more particularly to a paddle tine for use with a harvester reel tube.
- Typical harvesting headers include a plurality of thin pickup tines fixed with a rotating harvester reel tube that rotates to sweep crops into the header machine.
- the present device is a paddle tine for use with a pickup tine fixed with a harvester reel tube of a harvesting header or other machine.
- the paddle tine comprises an elongated, rigid body having a central cavity therethrough from a proximal end thereof to proximate a distal end thereof.
- the elongated body is adapted to slide over the pickup tine of the harvester reel tube.
- An attachment mechanism is fixed with the proximal end of the elongated body.
- the attachment mechanism includes one or more resilient clips.
- each resilient clip includes a relatively resilient inner portion fixed within a relatively rigid outer portion.
- the attachment mechanism further includes a pair of loops projecting away from each of the clips, such that the paddle tine may be slid over the pickup tine and secured to the harvester reel tube with the resilient clips, a pair of plastic, resilient fastening ties being threaded through each of the loops and about the harvester reel tube to further secure the paddle tine to the harvester reel tube.
- these fastening ties are replaced with hook-and-loop fastening strips.
- the fastening ties or hook-and-loop fastening strips are applied to embodiments of the paddle tine devoid of the loops.
- each of the two opposing paddle webs projects laterally away from the elongated body proximate the distal end.
- each of the two opposing paddle webs includes a reinforced bottom portion having a thickness greater than a web portion thereof.
- the attachment mechanism includes at least one retaining ledge formed as part of each resilient clip.
- a resilient fastener clip is further included for encompassing the harvest reel tube and at least a portion of the resilient clips.
- the fastener clip has inwardly -projecting flanges, such that the retention clip may be secured over the harvest reel tube and the resilient clips of the proximal end of the elongated body to secure the paddle tine to the harvester reel tube.
- the present invention is a device that is easily installed over an existing pickup tine on a harvester reel tube.
- the present device is relatively rigid and durable so as to handle the forces experienced during use.
- FIG. l is a perspective view of a harvester reel tube having pickup tines fixed therewith, and showing one embodiment of a paddle tine positioned over the pickup tines;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the paddle tine and showing two different types of attachment mechanisms
- FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the embodiment of the paddle tine of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of the paddle tine of FIG. 3, taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5 A is an exploded perspective view of another embodiment of the paddle tine showing a fastener clip exploded away from a distal end of an elongated body of the paddle tine;
- FIG. 5B is a perspective view of the paddle tine of FIG. 5A but with the fastener clip affixed with the distal end of the elongated body;
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of the paddle tine of FIG. 5B through a longitudinal axis of the elongated body.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a paddle tine 10 for use with a pickup tine 16 fixed with a harvester reel tube 15 of a harvesting header or other machine (not shown).
- the paddle tine 10 comprises an elongated, rigid body 20 having a central cavity 25 therethrough from a proximal end 22 to proximate a distal end 28 thereof.
- the elongated body 20 is adapted to slide over the pickup tine 16 of the harvester reel tube 15 (FIG. 4).
- the elongated body 20 is arched from the distal end 28 to the proximal end 22 from a side view (FIG. 4).
- a front side 21 of the elongated body 20 forms a concave face 24 (FIGS. 3 and 4).
- the front side 21 and rear side 29 preferably each include a longitudinally- aligned notch 50 for receiving therein portions of the pickup tine 16.
- the elongated body 20 is made from a rigid injection-molded plastic material.
- An attachment mechanism 30 is fixed with the proximal end 22 of the elongated body 20.
- the attachment mechanism 30 includes one or more resilient clips 31 (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4).
- each resilient clip 31 includes a relatively resilient inner portion 36 fixed within a relatively rigid outer portion 35, the resilient inner portion 36 accommodating a shoulder of the pickup tine 16.
- the attachment mechanism 30 includes a pair of loops 32 (FIG. 2) projecting away from each of the clips 31, such that the paddle tine 10 may be slid over the pickup tine 16 and secured to the harvester reel tube 15 with the resilient clips 31, a pair of plastic, resilient fastening ties 33 being threaded through each of the loops 32 and about the harvester reel tube 15 to further secure the paddle tine 10 to the harvester reel tube 15.
- the fastening ties 33 are replaced with hook-and-loop fastening strips 34.
- the fastening ties 33 or hook-and-loop fastening strips 34 are applied to embodiments of the paddle tine devoid of the loops 32 (not shown), and simply fasten around the resilient clips 31.
- each of the two opposing paddle webs 40 projects laterally away from the elongated body 20 proximate the distal end 28.
- each of the two opposing paddle webs 40 includes a reinforced bottom portion 41 having a thickness greater than a web portion 42 thereof (FIGS. 1 and 3).
- the attachment mechanism 30 includes at least one retaining ledge 37 (FIGS. 5 A-6) formed as part of each resilient clip 31.
- a retaining ledge 37 preferably is oriented facing substantially towards the distal end 28 of the elongated body 20.
- a fastener clip 60 is further included for encompassing the harvest reel tube 15 and at least a portion of the resilient clips 31.
- the fastener clip 60 has inwardly -projecting flanges 65 and is resilient, such that the retention clip 31 may be secured over the harvest reel tube 15 and the resilient clips 31 of the proximal end 22 of the elongated body 20 to secure the paddle tine 10 to the harvester reel tube 15.
- a distal side of the resilient clips 31 each include a smooth outer surface 38 (FIG. 5 A) from the retaining ledge 37 to the proximal end 22 of the elongated body 20, such that the inwardly -projecting flanges 65 of the fastening clip 60 contact the smooth outer surface 38 to separate the inwardly -projecting flanges 65 apart as the resilient fastening clip 60 engages the resilient clips 31.
- each resilient clip 31 preferably includes an outer lip 39 to laterally retain the resilient fastening clip 60 thereon.
