ABSTRACT:
A loading apparatus for the grain tank or bin of an agricultural combine. The grain tank or bin is located in the upper part of the combine, and, in the illustrated embodiment, the grain bin comprises a main grain bin and a grain bin extension mounted above the main grain bin. Clean grain which has been separated from the straw, chaff, or the like is conveyed by an elevating conveyor which discharges the grain via a chute into the intake end of an elongated pivotally mounted "floating" auger conveyor. When the level of the grain in the bin is below a predetermined level, the floating auger conveyor will assume a horizontal position contiguous the upper portion of the bin. The rotatable shaft of the floating auger conveyor is connected in driven relation to a suitable rotatable drive means through a universal drive joint as the grain level in the grain bin approaches a full condition, the floating auger conveyor moves angularly upwardly from the horizontal position due to the reaction of the discharging grain with the upper surface of the already loaded grain, the floating auger conveyor riding on the upper surface of the already loaded grain. An important feature of the construction is that the universal drive joint by means of which the floating auger shaft is connected to the rotatable driving means is located out of the path of grain flow to the intake end of the floating auger conveyor.
