CORN HEAD ROW UNITS, DECK PLATES FOR CORN HEAD ROW UNITS, AND HARVESTING HEADERS HAVING SUCH ROW UNITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032470 titled 'CORN HEAD ROW UNITS, DECK PLATES FOR CORN HEAD ROW UNITS, AND HARVESTING HEADERS HAVING SUCH ROW UNITS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a row unit used in a corn header. The row unit includes gathering chains, deck plates, and rotatable stalk rolls. The deck plates have a curved front edge and a straight inner edge, with the first portion of the first deck plate raised compared to the second portion. The inner edges of the deck plates define an elongate channel, while the curved front edges define a tapered entry to the channel.
- The patent application is for a row unit used in a corn header.

Original Abstract Submitted
a row unit for a corn header includes gathering chains, deck plates below the gathering chains, and rotatable stalk rolls below the deck plates. the deck plates each have a first portion defining a curved front edge and a second portion defining a straight inner edge, and the first portion of the first deck plate is raised with respect to the second portion of the first deck plate. the inner edges of the deck plates together define an elongate channel, and the curved front edges of the deck plates together define a tapered entry to the elongate channel.
