ABSTRACT:
An anti-wrapping protector for spring fingers on a reel for combines and other harvesting equipment and in particular for use on the type of combine reel generally known as the "Hume" reel. The Hume reel includes mechanisms to keep provided spring teeth or tines on the reel always pointed substantially vertically downward from their support pipe. In combining (harvesting) soy beans and other crops that tend to cling and wrap around anything that moves, as well as cutting hay with windrowers, it has been found that coils in the springs in the well known "Hume" reel as well as the pipes and tine support bats themselves cause wrapping. This requires stopping to clean the material out and great time delays are encountered. The present device is a unitary, molded plastic tubular member that has a slit so the tube can be slipped over the support pipe, bat, and coil of the reel spring tooth and then secured in position to protect the parts from wrapping. The tubular member is rectangular in shape, as shown, and one side of the rectangle extends downwardly to form a leg of desired length to protect the shield and the tine part of the reel springs as well.
