Tongue-Mounted Assembly For Supporting An Implement Driveline
US Patent:
4099594, Jul 11, 1978
Filed:
Sep 8, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/721270
Inventors:
Kenneth E. Smith - Strasburg PA
Floyd L. Myer - New Holland PA
Floyd L. Myer - New Holland PA
Assignee:
Sperry Rand Corporation - New Holland PA
International Classification:
F16D 300
US Classification:
180 14B
Abstract:
An improved assembly is mounted on a tongue of a draft implement which supports an input driveline of the implement for operative drive connection with a power takeoff drive shaft of a tractor which tows the implement through an articulate connection with the implement tongue. The improved assembly includes a lower toothed annular jaw part fixedly mounted on a support member on the tongue, an upper toothed annular jaw part and a shaft extending generally vertically through the lower and upper jaw parts and journalling the upper jaw part for rotation relative to the lower jaw part about an upright axis and for concurrent axial sliding movement toward and away from an intermeshed relationship with the lower jaw part. The assembly further includes a generally horizontal arm which is rigidly connected to the upper jaw part for movement therewith and is interconnected to and supports the driveline, and a spring which urges the shaft downwardly so as to dispose the upper jaw part in the intermeshed relationship with the lower jaw part such that the arm thereby disposes the driveline in a longitudinal position. The spring is yieldable to allow the upper jaw part to concurrently rotate relative to, and axially slide away from the intermeshed relationship with, the lower jaw part such that the arm will pivot laterally and allow lateral movement of the driveline therewith to accommodate sharp turns of the tractor relative to the implement.
Adjustable Rail Assembly For Accurate Baler Plunger Guidance
US Patent:
4135445, Jan 23, 1979
Filed:
Aug 2, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/710770
Inventors:
Kenneth E. Smith - Strasburg PA
Assignee:
Sperry Rand Corporation - New Holland PA
International Classification:
B30B 100, B30B 938
US Classification:
100179
Abstract:
An elongated guide rail provided on the bale case of a baler is laterally adjustable to a position parallel to the natural straight line path of reciprocatory movement of a plunger within the bale case in order to facilitate accurate guidance of the plunger along its natural path and thereby in substantially parallel alignment with the reciprocatory motion transmitted to the plunger by a drive rod on the baler.
