MOVEABLE CHAFF PAN FOR AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008400 titled 'MOVEABLE CHAFF PAN FOR AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a chaff pan assembly for an agricultural vehicle that can be raised or lowered. It includes a stationary bracket mounted to the vehicle, a linkage that connects the chaff pan to the bracket and guides its movement, and a locking member that can be engaged or disengaged to prevent or permit movement of the linkage.
- The chaff pan assembly is designed for an agricultural vehicle.
- It allows the chaff pan to be moved between raised and lowered positions.
- A stationary bracket is mounted to the vehicle to provide support.
- A linkage connects the chaff pan to the bracket and guides its movement.
- A locking member is moveable and can be engaged or disengaged.
- When engaged, the locking member prevents movement of one arm of the linkage.
- When disengaged, the locking member allows movement of the one arm of the linkage.
Potential Applications:
- This chaff pan assembly can be used in various types of agricultural vehicles.
- It can be used to control the height of the chaff pan during different operations.
- The assembly can be adapted to different sizes and configurations of agricultural vehicles.
Problems Solved:
- The chaff pan assembly solves the problem of having a fixed chaff pan height.
- It allows the operator to adjust the height of the chaff pan as needed.
- The locking member ensures that the chaff pan stays in the desired position during operation.
Benefits:
- The adjustable chaff pan height provides flexibility for different agricultural tasks.
- The locking member ensures stability and prevents unwanted movement.
- The assembly can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of chaff collection and disposal.
Potential Applications
- Agricultural vehicles
- Harvesting equipment
- Crop processing machinery
Problems Solved
- Inflexible chaff pan height
- Difficulty in adjusting chaff pan position
- Unstable chaff pan during operation
Benefits
- Height adjustability for different agricultural tasks
- Stability and control during chaff collection
- Improved efficiency and effectiveness in chaff disposal.
Original Abstract Submitted
a chaff pan assembly for an agricultural vehicle includes a chaff pan that is moveable between raised and lowered positions. a stationary bracket is mounted to a fixed point on the agricultural vehicle. a linkage interconnects the chaff pan to the stationary bracket and guides movement of the chaff pan between the raised and lowered positions. a locking member is moveably connected to the stationary bracket and is moveable between a locked position, in which the locking member is engaged with one arm of the linkage to prevent movement of the one arm of the linkage, and an unlocked position, in which the locking member is disengaged from the one arm of the linkage to permit movement of the one arm of the linkage.
