  • Patent number: 4545439
    Abstract: A blade cross slope sensor includes a first T-member having a stem mounted on the drawbar of a road grader for rotation about a first axis parallel to the axis about which the blade rotates and being coupled to the blade for rotation through the same angle. A yoke is pivotal on the arms of the T-member and a second T-member is pivotal on the yoke about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. A scissors assembly has a first portion mounted on the grader main frame for pivotal movement about a third axis parallel to the direction that the grader travels and a second portion coupled to the first portion for pivotal movement about a fourth axis parallel to the third axis. The second scissors portion is also pivotally connected to the arms of the second T-member which defines the true cross slope of the blade.
