  • Patent number: 7165385
    Abstract: This invention refers to a real for a crop harvesting device. The reel has tine carriers extending over the width of the reel carrying tines for feeding crop, and links for supporting the tine carriers. The links are mounted to the tine carriers by link holders. The link holders each include two support halves which are movably with respect to each other. The support halves enclose a tine carrier and each have a link holding part. The link holding parts of both support halves are commonly surrounded by the link such that the support halves are fixed to each other by the link.

  • Patent number: 7124565
    Abstract: A reel for a crop harvesting device includes tine carriers extending across the width of the reel carrying tines for conveying crop, and links for supporting the tine carriers. The links are mounted by link carriers to the tine carriers. The tine carriers are composed of short tube elements, each extending between the links and connected to each other by mounting elements. The mounting elements make up cylindrical support surfaces for the link carrier and secure the link carrier against axial movement along the tine carrier. The links are the only connection between adjacent tine carriers.

  • Patent number: 6978589
    Abstract: A harvesting assembly includes a platform reel. The reel includes bat tubes extending longitudinally across the length of the reel. The bat tubes are mounted at their outer ends to opposed spider support elements each having a center rotatable hub. The bat tubes carry tines for feeding harvested crop to the harvesting platform. The interior of the reel is free of supporting elements such as a center tube extending across the length of the reel. Perimeter struts connect adjacent bat tubes and provide a supporting framework together with the bat tubes for the reel.

  • Publication number: 20050178102
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a platform reel for a harvesting assembly. The reel includes bat tubes extending longitudinally across the length of the reel. The bat tubes are mounted at their outer ends to opposed spider support elements each having a center rotatable hub. The bat tubes carry tines for feeding harvested crop to the harvesting platform. The interior space between the bat tubes does not have supporting elements such as a center tube extending across the length of the reel. A perimeter struts connect adjacent bat tubes and provide a supporting framework together with the bat tubes for the reel.
