Folding Implement Frame

Folding Implement Frame

US Patent:
8505645, Aug 13, 2013
Filed:
Aug 28, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/596096
Inventors:
Francis J. Kelly - Polk City IA, US
Ryan A. Hackert - Ankeny IA, US
Vernon E. Friedley - Altoona IA, US
Shawn Becker - Ankeny IA, US
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
A01B 49/00
US Classification:
172311, 172456
Abstract:
A folding implement frame having seven sections in a use position and nine sections when folded. The frame design allows a frame having a width of greater than 27 meters to be folded into a transport position having a width of less than eight meters and a height of less than six meters. The hydraulic system transfers weight to the center frame section during folding and unfolding to enhance stability. The hydraulic system uses accumulators to minimize the amount of oil reduction in the tractor reservoir resulting from extension of the hydraulic cylinders of the implement. Implement raise and lower cycle times are minimized by a helper cylinder to lift the frame main section when the entire implement weight is on the main section and allowing a smaller cylinder to lift the frame main section in the use position for shorter cycle times to raise and lower the implement.

Turnbuckle Lock

Turnbuckle Lock

US Patent:
8353639, Jan 15, 2013
Filed:
Nov 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/282323
Inventors:
Francis Joseph Kelly - Polk City IA, US
Anthony Scott Royer - Minburn IA, US
James Franklin Bierl - West Des Moines IA, US
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
F16B 7/06
US Classification:
403 46
Abstract:
A lock for an implement turnbuckle includes an apertured plate attached directly to the turnbuckle. The plate receives the pin or linkage connecting structure that attaches to the threaded eyebolt of the turnbuckle. The mounting end of the plate opposite the slot is secured against a flat on the internally threaded member of the turnbuckle by a U-bolt. The plate prevents relative rotation between the eyebolt and an internally threaded member receiving the eyebolt to thereby maintain the desired turnbuckle length adjustment.
