Abstract
The present invention relates to a combine header transport which may be rapidly and easily adjusted to support a wide variety of kinds and shapes of headers for transport. The transport includes an inclined bracket having a slotted sloped surface. A rail having a plate affixed thereto overlies the sloped surface and a second plate underlies the sloped surface. When the plates are loosened relative to each other, the rail may be readily slid along the sloped surface to effect rapid and simultaneous adjustment of the rail in both the transverse horizontal direction and in vertical elevation and, when the adjustment is complete, the plates clamp the inclined bracket.
Claims31
A transport for transporting a large bulky object, the transport having a chassis on wheels for rollably supporting the chassis, the chassis being formed of rails including a pair of rails spaced longitudinally from each other and extending transversely of the chassis, and first and second support means transversely spaced from each other to support transversely spaced portions of the object to be transported when the object is placed on the chassis, wherein the improvement in at least one of said support means comprises:
- at least one bracket on one of the chassis rails and having a sloped surface thereon, and an elongate sloped slot on said bracket extending substantially parallel to said sloped surface;
- a support element adapted to support the object;
- and
- adjustable mounting means mounting said support element for movement along said sloped slot in a direction substantially parallel to said sloped surface to effect movement of said support element simultaneously in both elevation and transversely of the chassis to permit adjustment of said support element to support one of said spaced portions of the object.
