Abstract
A paddle tine configured to attach over an exi sting pickup tine on a harvester reel tube. The paddle tine includes an elongated body portion having a longitudinal cavity which receives the existing pickup tine therein. A reel tube clip at the proximal end of the elongated body has an arcuate portion that matingly receives an arcuate portion of the harvester reel tube laterally adjacent to opposing lateral sides of the existing pickup tine. A fastener clip has an arcuate portion that matingly receives another arcuate portion of the harvester reel tube such that the arcuate portion of the fastener clip and the arcuate portion of the reel tube clip cooperatively encompass the harvester reel tube and rigidly secure the paddle tine onto the harvester reel tube over the existing pickup tine.
Description
HARVESTING TOOL
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to harvesting equipment, and more particularly to a paddle tine for use with a harvester reel tube.
DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART
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. In some instances it is desirable to include a larger -paddle" type tine for feeding more of the crop into the header machine. Slipping a paddle tine over the existing pickup tine is desirable so that the pickup tine does not have to be removed, and so that the reel can be converted back to the standard thin pickup tines by simply removing the auxiliary paddle tines.
Therefore, there is a need for a device that is easily installed over an existing pickup tine on a harvester reel tube. Such a needed invention would be relatively rigid and durable so as to handle the forces experienced during use. The present invention accomplishes these objectives.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
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.
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-07-11 An attachment mechanism is fixed with the proximal end of the elongated body.
Preferably the attachment mechanism includes one or more resilient clips. In some embodiments each resilient clip includes a relatively resilient inner portion fixed within a relatively rigid outer portion.
hi some embodiments, 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. In some embodiments these fastening ties are replaced with hook-and-loop fastening strips. In some embodiments the fastening ties or hook-and-loop fastening strips are applied to embodiments of the paddle tine devoid of the loops.
Two opposing paddle webs project laterally away from the elongated body proximate the distal end. Preferably each of the two opposing paddle webs includes a reinforced bottom portion having a thickness greater than a web portion thereof In some preferred embodiments, the attachment mechanism includes at least one retaining ledge famed 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. Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description_ taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
