Frame assembly for an agricultural implement

An agricultural implement assembly, comprising:

• an agricultural header comprising:
• a header frame;
• a cutter bar;
• and
• one or more header arms pivotally coupled to the header frame at one or more respective pivot joints and coupled to the cutter bar, wherein an axis extends through the one or more respective pivot joints;
• and
• an intermediate frame assembly comprising:
• an intermediate frame;
• one or more intermediate arms coupled to the header frame at one or more respective intermediate joints and directly pivotally coupled to the intermediate frame, wherein the one or more intermediate arms are configured to rotate relative to the header frame at the one or more respective intermediate joints, and each respective intermediate joint of the one or more respective intermediate joints is disposed on the axis;
• and
• one or more springs coupled to the intermediate frame, wherein each spring of the one or more springs is coupled to a respective intermediate arm of the one or more intermediate arms, and the one or more springs are configured to flex to enable movement of the header frame relative to the intermediate frame.
