Combine conveyor apparatus

摘要

This is a combine conveyor apparatus having a combine auger conveyor apparatus of this invention mounted on a conventional combine structure. The combine auger conveyor apparatus includes a feeder auger conveyor assembly which transfers cut wheat or the like to a feeder slat conveyor assembly which, in turn, conveys the cut material into a threshing cylinder assembly. The feeder auger conveyor assembly is known in the prior art having spiral flights on a cylindrical support driven to move the material to the center thereof and having a central auger retractable finger assembly to move the material into the feeder slat conveyor assembly. The feeder slat conveyor assembly includes a first sprocket assembly connected by a feeder chain and slat assembly to a second sprocket assembly. Each of the first and second sprocket assemblies is provided with retractable finger assemblies to (1) pick up the cut material from the feeder auger conveyor assembly; (2) convey the material upwardly; and (3) thrust the cut material into the threshing cylinder assembly.
