Abstract
Apparatus for a harvesting machine comprising a cutter bar, a reel assembly including a reel, and a rear table comprising a feeding auger and a feeding elevator, with the rear table being pivotable relative to the harvesting machine about a first horizontal axis of rotation. A pair of reel carrying arms are pivotally mounted about an axis of rotation on the rear table, and a movable feeding apron is mounted in front of the rear table. A cutter bar is provided at a leading end of the movable feeding apron, and a pair of levers are hingedly mounted on the rear table about a second horizontal axis of rotation. The levers have front arms and rear arms, with the sides of the feeding apron being connected to the front arms. A first hydraulic arrangement is mounted relative to the machine for pivotally moving the rear table about the first horizontal axis, and a second hydraulic arrangement is provided for supporting the reel assembly and causing pivotal movement of the pair of reel carrying arms. The second hydraulic arrangement extends between the pair of reel carrying arms and the movable feeding apron. A third hydraulic arrangement is connected to the rear arms of the levers for counter-balancing the feeding apron and the reel assembly supported by the feeding apron about the second axis of rotation. Ground following members are connected under the movable feeding apron for causing the feeding apron to follow a ground contour when the machine is advanced while at the same time raising or lowering the reel via the pair of reel carrying arms. In this way, collisions between the reel and the cutter bar are avoided when the cutter bar is working in a lower position and the feeding apron is raised by the ground following members due to elevation of the ground contour.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
