Abstract
Abstract A push over bar attachment for a crop harvester. The attachment comprises a U-shaped member having a pair of laterally spaced side legs and an intervening cross-bar. A novel bracket attachment for each leg to an adjacent side panel of the harvester. Each bracket has a pair of identical generally Zshaped elements clamping the associate side leg therebetween, a pair of bolts secure the brackets along one edge to each other and along an opposite edge there extend a pair of bolt and nut assemblies one of which is attached to an adjacent side panel of the harvester and provides a horizontal pivot to permit the attachment to swing vertically to adjusted positions and the other extends through an arcuate slot concentric with the axis of pivot and secures the bracket to the side panel to hold the attachment in selected adjusted positions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A pushover bar assembly for a harvester comprising a pair of upright side panels, said assembly comprising a transverse member and fore and aft extending elongate end members at opposite ends of said transverse member adjacent to respective side panels, and means for extensibly securing said end members to respective panels for extension and for vertical swinging movement of said transverse member for elevating and lowering such member and simultaneous fore and aft translational movement of such member to selectively attainable positions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A pushover bar assembly for a harvester comprising a pair of upright side panels, said assembly comprising a transverse member and fore and aft extending elongate end members at opposite ends of said transverse member adjacent to respective side panels, and means for extensibly securing said end members to respective panels for extension and for vertical swinging movement of said transverse member for elevating and lowering such member and simultaneous fore and aft translational movement of such member to selectively attainable positions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
The invention according to claim 1 and said securing means comprising means prOviding a horizontal pivot on the harvester, and locking means extending through an arcuate slot in the adjacent side panel for movement with the related end member about horizontal axis of pivot and adapted to be locked to said side panel for holding the assembly in locked selected elevated positions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The invention according to claim 1 and said securing means comprising a pair of identical reversely arranged clamp elements arranged in clamping position to the related end member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
The invention according to claim 3 and each element having a pair of parallel laterally offset end portions and a transverse portion interconnecting adjacent edges of said end portions, and the transverse portion of one element disposed at one side of the associated end member and the transverse portion of the other element disposed at the opposite side of the associated end member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
219 words
A pushover bar assembly for a harvester comprising a pair of upright side panels, said assembly comprising a transverse member and fore and aft extending elongate end members at opposite ends of said transverse member adjacent to respective side panels, and means for securing said end members to respective panels for vertical swinging movement of said transverse member for elevating and lowering such member and simultaneous fore and aft translational movement of such member to selectively attainable positions, said securing means comprising a pair of identical reversely arranged clamp elements arranged in clamping position to the related end member, each element having a pair of parallel laterally offset end portions and a transverse portion interconnecting adjacent edges of said end portions, and the transverse portion of one element disposed at one side of the associated end member and the transverse portion of the other element disposed at the opposite side of the associated end member and the end portions at one side of the associated end member being offset toward the adjacent side panel and that end portion of the element thereadjacent bears thereagainst and a bolt extending through the end portions offset toward the adjacent side panel and through an opening in such side panel and securing the same together while clamping said elements against said end member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
219 words
A pushover bar assembly for a harvester comprising a pair of upright side panels, said assembly comprising a transverse member and fore and aft extending elongate end members at opposite ends of said transverse member adjacent to respective side panels, and means for securing said end members to respective panels for vertical swinging movement of said transverse member for elevating and lowering such member and simultaneous fore and aft translational movement of such member to selectively attainable positions, said securing means comprising a pair of identical reversely arranged clamp elements arranged in clamping position to the related end member, each element having a pair of parallel laterally offset end portions and a transverse portion interconnecting adjacent edges of said end portions, and the transverse portion of one element disposed at one side of the associated end member and the transverse portion of the other element disposed at the opposite side of the associated end member and the end portions at one side of the associated end member being offset toward the adjacent side panel and that end portion of the element thereadjacent bears thereagainst and a bolt extending through the end portions offset toward the adjacent side panel and through an opening in such side panel and securing the same together while clamping said elements against said end member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
73 words
The invention according to claim 5 and another bolt extending through said end portions of said elements offset toward the adjacent panel at a point offset from the bolt mentioned in claim 5 longitudinal of the associated end member and extending through an arcuate slot in the adjacent side panel concentric with the axis of pivot of the bolt mentioned in claim 5 and having means thereon for securement to said adjacent panel.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
46 words
The invention according to claim 6 wherein the end portions at the opposite side of the end member are offset and spaced away from the adjacent side panel and provide an accommodation for nut and bolt assemblies securing said last mentioned end portions of the brackets.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
49 words
The invention according to claim 3 and each element being generally rectangular in side elevation and comprising a pair of flat laterally and planarly offset portions and an arcuate portion interconnecting said flat portions along their adjacent edges, and said element having transverse bolt holes in the corners thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
17 words
The invention according to claim 8 wherein said elements in assembled position are arranged in mirror image.
