摘要：Apparatus and method for automatically coupling fluid systems and electrical

systems, respectively, of a header and a feeder of an agricultural combine as the headeris lifted by the feeder. The feeder and header include lifting elements pivotablyengageable with lower portions of the feeder and header spaced apart, such that whenthe feeder is raised, the header will be lifted by the feeder and pivoted so as to bring thelower portions together. A first coupler block is supported on the feeder and includes atleast one fluid coupler and at least one electrical contact, and a second coupler block issupported on the header and also includes at least one fluid coupler and at least oneelectrical contact. The fluid couplers and the electrical contacts are configured andpositioned so as to couple and be brought into contact, respectively, as the lowerportions of the feeder and the header are brought together. They can also automaticallyuncouple when the header is removed from the feeder.
