Patent ID: 7118475

Claim:
A transverse pivot assembly mechanism for automatically positioning a pinch-point of a concave relative to a rotor of a combine, the mechanism comprising: a remotely operative adjustment mechanism coupled to one end of said concave; and a linking assembly pivotally coupling another end of said concave to said combine, said linking assembly defining at least one transverse pivot axis, said transverse pivot axis allowing automatic remotely operative adjustment mechanism providing selective transverse pivoting of said concave along said transverse pivot axis and relative to said rotor in accordance with selectively defined clearance spacing between said concave and said rotor, wherein said linking assembly includes at least a first linking member and a second linking member, said first linking member and said second linking member substantially similar in shape, said first linking member being positioned substantially angular relative to said second linking member, wherein said substantially angular positioning of said first linking member relative to said second linking member defines a generally “X-shaped” configuration.
