  • Patent number: 4199927
    Abstract: A combine reel weed shield includes a substantially flat panel member and a vertically oriented deflector plate attached along one longitudinal edge to the inwardly facing surface of the panel member. The weed shield includes means for attaching to a reel support arm of a combine and the weed shield is designed so as to cover a majority of the end of the reel and extend forward of the reel when the shield is attached to the support arm. The deflector plate is generally rectangular and its vertical length is substantially equal to the height of the panel member at the location of attachment of the plate to the panel member. The deflector plate is located forward of the forwardmost portion of the reel and the deflector plate is formed with a 135 degree bend such that it pivots away from the panel member at a 45 degree included angle. The deflector plate shields the corresponding hub portion of the reel on the end of the reel adjacent to where the weed shield is attached to the support arm.
