Abstract:
A crop header having a frame mounted on a vehicle has a sickle cutter bar and a draper. The draper is guided at its front edge by a longitudinally extending rail mounted on the frame. The cutter bar is mounted at spaced positions by spring blades attached to a fixed beam at the rear which allow up and down flexing movement of the cutter bar relative to the draper rail. At the center discharge the cutter bar is carried on shorter blades which are carried on a beam in front of the front draper roller. A locking device is provided for commonly and automatically moving the beam in a direction to lift the cutter bar into a raised position in which the cutter bar is locked against flexing movement with the locking device being operable in response to the cutter bar being raised off the ground.

Claim (Index 1):
A crop harvesting header comprising:\n a frame extending across a width of the header for movement in a forward direction generally at right angles to the width across ground including a crop to be harvested; a mounting assembly for carrying the main frame structure on a propulsion vehicle for up and down movement relative to the vehicle; wherein the mounting assembly provides a floating action of the frame relative to the propulsion vehicle; a cutter bar arranged to move over the ground in a cutting action and carrying a sickle knife operable for cutting the crop as the header is moved forwardly across the ground; a ground engaging structure for engaging the ground so as to receive lifting forces from the ground at points of the ground engaging structure which contact the ground tending to lift the cutter bar; the cutter bar being mounted on the frame at spaced positions along the length of the frame by mounting components which allow up and down flexing movement of the cutter bar relative to the frame; and a locking device for commonly moving the mounting components in a direction to lift the cutter bar into a raised position in which the cutter bar is locked against flexing movement; the locking device being operable where the cutter bar is raised off the ground.
