ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system for harvesting machines comprising a plurality of pivotally supported buckets of relatively rigid and nonporous material such as metal or plastic adapted to be moved through an endless path. The path includes spaced horizontal and vertical portions each defined by spaced and parallel rails fixed to the machine frame. Each bucket is supported in a crop-carrying position by an element at each end thereof having a rod portion rotatably connected to the bucket and having a bearing roller mounted thereon for engaging the rails. The supporting elements include a leg portion engaging the bucket at a location spaced from the pivotal connection of the rod portion for limiting pivotal movement of the bucket along a portion of the conveyor path. Each bucket is pivoted to a position for discharging crops along other portions of the path by means on the bucket which engages a rail in a manner pivoting the bucket about the supporting rod portion.
