BELT SUPPORT FOR DRAPER HEADER OF AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008409 titled 'BELT SUPPORT FOR DRAPER HEADER OF AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a header for an agricultural vehicle that includes a frame, supports, a channel, and a belt. The supports extend from the frame to a distal end located forward of the frame, and the channel is formed on or mounted to at least one of the supports. The belt is positioned over the supports and has a projection that is positioned within the channel to constrain the belt in a fore to aft direction of the header.

  • The invention is a header for an agricultural vehicle.
  • The header includes a frame, supports, a channel, and a belt.
  • The supports extend from the frame to a distal end located forward of the frame.
  • The channel is formed on or mounted to at least one of the supports.
  • The belt is positioned over the supports.
  • The belt has a projection that is positioned within the channel.
  • The projection constrains the belt in a fore to aft direction of the header.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Harvesting crops in the agricultural industry.
  • Cutting and collecting crops efficiently.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a mechanism to efficiently cut and collect crops.
  • Ensures the belt stays in place during operation.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased efficiency in crop harvesting.
  • Reduced manual labor required.
  • Improved crop collection and transportation.


Original Abstract Submitted

a header for an agricultural vehicle includes a frame; a plurality of supports, each of the plurality of supports extending from a respective proximal end at the frame to a respective distal end located forward of the frame; a channel that is either formed on or mounted to at least one of the supports; and a belt positioned over and on the plurality of supports. the belt defining a projection that is positioned within the channel in order to constrain the belt in a fore to aft direction of the header.
