  • Patent number: 5380247
    Abstract: A combine has a conveyor for returning clean grain and grain returns to a grain bin and threshing rotor, respectively, using a single conveyor housing which is divided by a partition into separate clean grain and grain returns compartments. A plurality of paddles are mounted within the compartments and are driven by a flexible linkage which extends around the frame of the combine within the conveyor housing. The grain bin is pivotally mounted along a pivot axis which allows the grain bin to be pivoted toward an opening of the grain bin to facilitate the flow of grain from the grain bin to an unloader for discharging the grain from the combine.
