==HARVESTER REEL HAVING SELF-ADJUSTING TINE BARS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18556799 titled 'HARVESTER REEL HAVING SELF-ADJUSTING TINE BARS

The abstract describes a harvester reel for an agricultural harvester, including a central rotatable shaft and reel tine bars connected to the shaft for rotation. Each tine bar has a biasing member for rotation and a plurality of tines. A cam assembly guides the rotation of the tine bars, with a primary cam for guiding rotation and a moveable or stationary secondary cam to pivot the tine bars away from a cutterbar.

* Central rotatable shaft with reel tine bars connected for rotation
* Biasing member on each tine bar for rotation
* Cam assembly guides rotation of tine bars
* Primary cam for guiding rotation
* Moveable or stationary secondary cam pivots tine bars away from cutterbar

Potential Applications:
- Agricultural harvesting equipment
- Farm machinery
- Crop harvesting technology

Problems Solved:
- Efficient crop harvesting
- Preventing damage to crops
- Improved reel functionality

Benefits:
- Increased harvesting efficiency
- Reduced crop damage
- Enhanced reel performance

Commercial Applications:
- Agricultural equipment manufacturers
- Farm equipment suppliers
- Crop harvesting technology companies

Questions about the technology:
1. How does the biasing member on each tine bar contribute to the rotation of the reel?
2. What are the advantages of using a cam assembly to guide the rotation of the tine bars?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A harvester reel for an agricultural harvester. The harvester reel includes a central rotatable shaft, and a plurality of reel tine bars extending widthwise across the reel and connected to the central rotatable shaft for rotation therewith. Each of the plurality of reel tine bars includes a biasing member for biasing the reel tine bar to rotate about its central longitudinal axis, and a plurality of tines. A cam assembly guides rotation of the plurality of reel tine bars. The cam assembly includes a primary cam for guiding rotation of the tine bars during rotation of the central rotatable shaft, and a moveable or stationary secondary cam. The moveable secondary cam pivots the tine bars about their longitudinal axes away from a cutterbar. Alternatively, a moveable diverter cooperates with the stationary secondary cam to pivot the reel tine bars about their longitudinal axes away from the cutterbar.
