Abstract
A combine including a conveyor feeder assembly is provided herein, wherein the assembly may include a house chain slat made of non-metal material and/or having a brush assembly that provides sufficient grasp without damaging the crop. Ultimately, the design of the combine improves crop throughput, while reducing damage to the crop. Within the combine for harvesting crop, the conveyor that carries crop from a harvesting platform to a secondary feeding mechanism may include a plurality of slats secured to continuous conveyor chains coupled around a traverse drum and a sprocket drive means. Each slat may include the brush assembly, which may comprise at least one row of finger members selected from a group consisting of rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible materials. These members may include cylindrical, flat, and/or elongated fingers. The finger members may also include straight/curved bristles arranged in tufts and received in stepped openings through a brush base.
