Sweeper apparatus for a corn head attachment

A sweeper assembly apparatus for aiding a corn head for harvesting corn, said corn head having a series of laterally spaced fingers, the apparatus comprising:

• a) one or more clamps to attach the sweeper assembly to the corn head;
• b) one or more support arms pivotally attached to each clamp, to allow adjustment of the placement of the sweeper assembly with respect to the corn head;
• c) an axel rotatably attached to the support arms;
• d) one or more paddle assemblies attached to the axel to rotate with the axel;
• e) a power source and a motor having a drive connection to said axel to rotate the axel and paddle assemblies;
• and
• f) the paddle assemblies each have a plurality of vanes and the vanes are attached to an axel hub by triangular supports which extend radially from the axel hub to hold and separate the paddle vanes.

• f) each of the paddle assemblies have a plurality of vanes, each vane having an outer edge and side edges, the side edges are shaped to taper inwardly toward the outer edge in order to fit between the corn head fingers;
• and
• g) the adjacent paddle assemblies are separated by spacers that enclose the axel to allow the paddle assemblies to laterally correspond with the corn head fingers.
