Patent ID: 8701870

Claim:
A slat for use in a material moving system of an agricultural harvester, the material moving system having at least two driven continuous loops of flexible material to which the slat is securable, the slat comprising: a web having opposed sides, the web securable to the loops of the material moving system; a first leg and a second leg extending outwardly from one side of the web and positioned along the material moving system, the first leg providing a primary impetus for movement of crop material in a first direction by driven movement of the loops of the material moving system; and a third leg extending outwardly from an opposed side of the web and intermediate of portions of the web that are securable to the loops of the material moving system, the third leg providing a secondary impetus for movement of crop material in the first direction by driven movement of the loops of the material moving system; wherein in response to the first leg encountering a foreign object that becomes wedged between the first leg, the third leg and structure of the material moving system and preventing driven movement of the loops of the material movement system in the first direction, in response to application of force urging movement of the loops of the material movement system in an opposed second direction, the third leg facilitating a rotational movement of the slat for dislodging the foreign object.
