A shell corn loss inhibiting device includes a corn head of a combine including a pair of spaced dividers, a gap therebetween, and a collection auger. Each of a pair of nozzles is coupled to an associated one of the spaced dividers and angled inwardly towards the gap, downwardly through the gap, and rearwardly towards the collection auger. A blower is coupled to the combine urging a flow of air out through each of the nozzles to urge the shell corn towards the collection auger before the shell corn can pass downwardly through the gap.

A shell corn loss inhibiting device comprising: a combine having a corn head, said corn head including a pair of spaced dividers defining a gap therebetween configured for receiving corn stalks, said combine having a collection auger positioned rearwardly from said spaced dividers wherein said co
1. A shell corn loss inhibiting device comprising: a combine having a corn head, said corn head including a pair of spaced dividers defining a gap therebetween configured for receiving corn stalks, said combine having a collection auger positioned rearwardly from said spaced dividers wherein said collection auger receives and collects shell corn from the corn stalks passing through said gap;a pair of nozzles, each of said nozzles being coupled to an associated one of said spaced dividers, each of said nozzles being angled relative to said associated one of said spaced dividers such that each said nozzle is directed inwardly towards said gap, downwardly through said gap, and rearwardly towards said collection auger;a blower coupled to said combine, said blower urging a flow of air out through each of said nozzles wherein said blower is configured to urge the shell corn towards said collection auger before the shell corn can pass downwardly through said gap;a pair of collection pans, each collection pan being coupled to an associated one of said spaced dividers, each said collection pan having a lateral edge positioned adjacent to said gap, each of said collection pans having a back edge positioned adjacent to a terminal end of said gap adjacent to said collection auger wherein said collection pans are positioned to receive shell corn passing downwardly through said gap; anda pair of re-circulation hoses, each of said re-circulation hoses having a first end in communication with an associated one of said collection pans, each of said re-circulation hoses having a second end in environmental communication with an associated one of said nozzles such that said blower provides suction from said first end to said second end whereby shell corn collected in said collection pans is re-circulated back through said nozzles and towards said collection auger. 2. The device of claim 1, further comprising a respective bottom of each said collection pan having an angled section extending downwardly and inwardly into said pan from said lateral edge positioned adjacent to said gap. 3. The device of claim 1, further comprising said blower being one of a pair of blowers, each said blower being attached to an associated one of said spaced dividers. 4. The device of claim 3, further comprising each of said blowers being positioned towards a front of said associated one of said spaced dividers. 5. The device of claim 1, further comprising said pair of nozzles being one of a plurality of pairs of nozzles, said pairs of nozzles being linearly arranged along said spaced dividers. 6. A shell corn loss inhibiting device comprising: a combine having a corn head, said corn head including a pair of spaced dividers defining a gap therebetween configured for receiving corn stalks, said combine having a collection auger positioned rearwardly from said spaced dividers wherein said collection auger receives and collects shell corn from the corn stalks passing through said gap;a plurality of nozzles, each of said nozzles being coupled to an associated one of said spaced dividers, each of said nozzles being angled relative to said associated one of said spaced dividers such that each said nozzle is directed inwardly towards said gap, downwardly through said gap, and rearwardly towards said collection auger, said nozzles being linearly aligned along each of said spaced dividers, said nozzles being arranged in laterally aligned pairs across said gap;a plurality of blowers coupled to said combine, each said blower being attached to an associated one of said spaced dividers, each of said blowers being positioned towards a front of said associated one of said spaced dividers, each said blower urging a flow of air out through said nozzles positioned on said associated one of said spaced dividers;a pair of collection pans, each collection pan being coupled to an associated one of said spaced dividers, each said collection pan having a lateral edge positioned adjacent to said gap, each of said collection pans having a back edge positioned adjacent to a terminal end of said gap adjacent to said collection auger wherein said collection pans are positioned to receive shell corn passing downwardly through said gap, a respective bottom of each said collection pan having an angled section extending downwardly and inwardly into said pan from said lateral edge positioned adjacent to said gap; anda pair of re-circulation hoses, each of said re-circulation hoses having a first end in communication with an associated one of said collection pans, each of said re-circulation hoses having a second end in environmental communication with an associated one of said nozzles such that said blower provides suction from said first end to said second end whereby shell corn collected in said collection pans is re-circulated back through said nozzles and towards said collection auger.
