TENSIONING GEAR TO BE APPLIED TO THE ROW OF A CORN HEADER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044395 titled 'TENSIONING GEAR TO BE APPLIED TO THE ROW OF A CORN HEADER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a gear designed to be mounted on the frame or row of a corn header. The gear is part of a control box that generates linear movement at the lifting chains, which are kept at adequate tension by a pair of tensioning gears. Each tensioning gear includes an annular step adjacent to its upper face and a plastic deformation that defines a continuous circumferential line.
- The gear is designed to be mounted on the frame or row of a corn header.
- It is part of a control box that generates linear movement at the lifting chains.
- The lifting chains are kept at adequate tension by a pair of tensioning gears.
- Each tensioning gear has an annular step adjacent to its upper face.
- Each tensioning gear has a plastic deformation that defines a continuous circumferential line.
Potential Applications:
- Agricultural machinery, specifically corn headers.
- Any application requiring linear movement and tensioning of chains.
Problems Solved:
- Maintaining adequate tension in the lifting chains of a corn header.
- Ensuring smooth and continuous linear movement in the control box.
Benefits:
- Improved performance and efficiency of corn headers.
- Reduced wear and tear on the lifting chains.
- Simplified design and assembly of the tensioning gears.
Original Abstract Submitted
a gear designed to be mounted on the frame or row of a corn header of the type consisting of a control box () on which two drive gears () and () are mounted that generate the linear movement at the lifting chains () and (), which maintain their adequate tension by action of the pair of tensioning gears () and () that are arranged on respective bearings () mounted on the appropriate carrier arms (), wherein each tensioning gear includes an annular step () adjacent to its upper face; wherein each tensioning gear includes a plastic deformation that defines a continuous circumferential line ().
