  • Patent number: 7942222
    Abstract: To realize a mounting structure on the rear side of the seat of the operator station on which the seat and equipment for operation are installed in the swing table of a swing-type operation machine, the mounting structure being simple in construction yet imparted with a sufficiently large strength without increasing the size of the swing table or without utilizing the counter weight. The swing-type operation machine comprises an under carriage, a swing table mounted on the under carriage so as to freely swing thereon, an operator station mounted on the swing table and on which a seat and equipment for operation are installed, and a heat exchanger-mounting body supporting a heat exchanger for cooling the engine that is positioned at the back of the seat of the operator station and supporting the rear part of the seat of the operator station.

  • Publication number: 20020136597
    Abstract: A quick coupling device for a working machine, in which a working implement is detach- and attachably coupled to a bracket mounted on the working machine by a pair of coupling shafts and a pair of hooks having an engaging groove detachably engaged with the coupling shafts, wherein it is so designed that the hooks are prevented from interfering with the structural member of the working implement provided between the pair of coupling shafts and foreign matters such as earth and sand are prevented from coming into direct contact with the coupling shafts. The pair of hooks are brought close to each other to bring the coupling shafts into engagement with the hooks.
