Patent number: 11745950Abstract: A combine feeder slat having a first base, a second base, and a slat body. The bases are located at respective ends of the slat, and have respective upper and lower surfaces. The slat body extends longitudinally and connects the bases. The slat body has a variable profile as viewed along the longitudinal direction, that transitions from a first profile shape at the first base, to an intermediate profile shape between the first base and the second base, to a second profile shape at the second base. The intermediate profile shape includes a front lip, a rear lip, and an upward-facing concave projection that connects the front lip to the rear lip and extends below an attachment plane defined between the first lower surface and the second lower surface. The first base, second base, and slat body are made from a unitary metal part.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Nathan E. Isaac, Cale Boriack, Trevor Book

Publication number: 20220354058Abstract: A flexible and rotatable coupling assembly for a feeder conveyor of a combine harvester, for example. The coupling assembly connects a first rotatable shaft to a second rotatable shaft. The coupling assembly includes a spherical bearing that is connectable to the first rotatable shaft for accommodating a radial or angular misalignment between the first and second rotatable shafts; and a flexible and rotatable coupler that is non-rotatably connectable to the first and second rotatable shafts for transferring rotation between the first and second rotatable shafts. The flexible and rotatable coupler is either directly or indirectly connected to the spherical bearing. The flexible and rotatable coupler has a flexible component for accommodating the radial or angular misalignment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2021Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: MICHAEL MINNICH, CALE BORIACK

Publication number: 20060254532Abstract: An automatic animal-chute system has at least one animal-chute control panel (1) on which chute-component controls (2) are positioned in control communication with component actuators (3) of operational components (4) of an animal chute (5) that is structurally formed for receiving an animal, retaining the animal for administering desired animal-care treatment to it and then releasing the animal. The component actuators can include pneumatic component actuators (19, 21, 22, 26, 27, 31, 57, 58, 59, 60), hydraulic component actuators (35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41), electric component actuators (20, 25, 30, 34) and servomechanism actuators (48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56). The operational components can include a back gate (13) to the animal chute, a head gate (14) of the animal chute and animal-side squeezers (15). The animal chute can be structurally formed for receiving and retaining a select range of sizes of animals.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2005Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventors: Delvin Boriack, Cale Boriack, Ordway Boriack
