Abstract

An improved stripper comprising a plurality of ducting units, a platform, a bin, a header, and a chassis. Said platform supporting said plurality of ducting units. Said bin capable of holding a harvested crop. Said header is capable of harvesting said harvested crop. Said plurality of ducting units convey said harvested crop from said header to said bin. Said chassis supports said platform, said bin, said headers and said plurality of ducting units. Said plurality of ducting units comprise hollow channel comprising a passage between an entry at a first end and an exit at a second end of said plurality of ducting units. Said channel in said plurality of ducting units are formed between said entry to said exit in a two vectors. Said two vectors comprise a y-axis and a z-axis. Said channel in said plurality of ducting units are capable of moving said harvested crop from said header to said bin without moving said harvested crop in an x-axis direction and thereby limit clogging of said harvested crop in said passage of said plurality of ducting units.

Claims

1. An improved stripper comprising:

a plurality of ducting units, a platform, a bin, a header, and a chassis;

wherein, said platform supporting said plurality of ducting units;

said bin capable of holding a harvested crop;

said header is capable of harvesting said harvested crop;

said plurality of ducting units convey said harvested crop from said header to said bin;

said chassis supports said platform, said bin, said headers and said plurality of ducting units;

said plurality of ducting units comprise hollow channel comprising a passage between an entry at a first end and an exit at a second end of said plurality of ducting units;

said channel in said plurality of ducting units are formed between said entry to said exit in a two vectors;

said two vectors comprise a y-axis and a z-axis; and

said channel in said plurality of ducting units are capable of moving said harvested crop from said header to said bin without moving said harvested crop in an x-axis direction and thereby limit clogging of said harvested crop in said passage of said plurality of ducting units.

2. The improved stripper of claim 1 wherein,

said platform comprises an extended platform

3. The improved stripper of claim 2 wherein,

said improved stripper further comprising a cab;

said cab attaches to a forward portion of said extended platform;

said extended platform further comprise a one or more apertures;

said plurality of ducting units extend through said one or more apertures of said extended platform to said header; and

said harvested crop is delivered from below said extended platform, through said one or more apertures of said extended platform and into said bin.

4. The improved stripper of claim 1 further comprising a cab;

wherein, said cab is supported by said platform.

5. The improved stripper of claim 1 wherein,

said bin comprises a one or more openings;

and

said plurality of ducting units deliver said harvested from said header through said plurality of ducting units, through said one or more openings and into said bin.

6. The improved stripper of claim 1 wherein,

said bin comprises a improved bin;

said improved bin comprises a tank notch;

said improved stripper comprises a tank;

said tank can be stored between said improved bin, said plurality of ducting units, said platform and said cab and in said tank notch.

7. The improved stripper of claim 1 wherein,

said platform comprises a rail.

8. The improved stripper of claim 1 wherein,

said plurality of ducting units comprise a first ducting unit and a second ducting unit.

9. A method of manufacturing said improved stripper comprising:

replacing a platform from a stripper with an extended platform,

supporting a plurality of ducting units on said extended platform, and

attaching a cab of said stripper at a forward position of said extended platform; and

wherein,

said stripper further comprises a bin, a header, and a chassis;

said platform supporting said plurality of ducting units;

said bin capable of holding a harvested crop;

said header is capable of harvesting said harvested crop;

said plurality of ducting units convey said harvested crop from said header to said bin;

said chassis supports said platform, said bin, said headers and said plurality of ducting units;

said plurality of ducting units comprise hollow channel comprising a passage between an entry at a first end and an exit at a second end of said plurality of ducting units;

said channel in said plurality of ducting units are formed between said entry to said exit in a two vectors;

said two vectors comprise a y-axis and a z-axis; and

said channel in said plurality of ducting units are capable of moving said harvested crop from said header to said bin without moving said harvested crop in an x-axis direction and thereby limit clogging of said harvested crop in said passage of said plurality of ducting units.
