ABSTRACT:
A quickly attachable and detachable tine frame is disclosed for attachment to a tobacco box rack for use in the processing and curing of tobacco leaves. The tine frame is attachable over the open top of the box rack after the box has been filled with tobacco leaves so that separate tines may be inserted through the frame and the tobacco, to hold the tobacco in place when the box rack is tilted on end. The tine frame comprises a pair of spaced longitudinal members and a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse tine holding bars interconnecting the longitudinal members. A laterally offset longitudinal extension is provided at each end of each of the longitudinal members. A transverse retaining member is provided at each end of the box rack. The tine frame is retained against outward displacement away from the top of the box by the offset longitudinal extensions engaged under the transverse retaining bars at each end of the box. The tine frame may be quickly detached from the box rack by sliding the tine frame to one end of the box, lifting the frame at the other end of the box outwardly, and then sliding the tine frame toward the other end of the box rack until the laterally offset longitudinal extensions are all disengaged from under the top transverse retaining bars at each end of the box rack .
