Publication number: 20240018740Abstract: This invention related to a coupler for securing an attachment to an earth working machine. The coupler comprises a coupler body that presents a receptacle having a capture region. A pin of an attachment can move into and out of the capture region. A retainer can capture the pin in the capture region but the retainer can be moved by a hydraulically driven driver to a position to allow release the pin from the capture region. A trigger that the pin will strike when the pin moves into or out of the capture region, decouples the driver from the retainer and the retainer is then allowed to be biased back to its retaining position by a spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: WEDGELOCK EQUIPMENT LIMITEDInventors: Andre Richard ANDERSON, Marshall Andrew Stewart HANLON, Garth Colin KEIGHLEY, Andrew James Phillip RIDER, Michael Hugh James RIDER

Patent number: 10590631Abstract: An indicator for a quick coupler for the mounting of an attachment to an earth working machine. The indicator (10) has a sensor (14,15) which, in response to movement of a movable pin engagement component (F) of a coupler (A), determines that the pin engagement component (F) will have moved sufficiently to engage and lock a pin (P2) of an attachment with the coupler (A). The indicator (10) has an indicating part (17) which is caused to be moved in response to the sensor (14,15) to thereby provide a visual indication (25) that engagement and locking of the pin (P2) has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: WEDGELOCK EQUIPMENT LIMITEDInventors: Garth Colin Keighley, Andrew James Phillip Rider, Ashley Craig Gibson

Patent number: 8602463Abstract: A latch which is suitable for latching a window in a closed and sealed position. The latch has latch furniture 10 adapted to fit into a window section S with minimal protrusion from the section. The furniture includes a sealing lever handle 17 and a latch release handle 16 located in a recess 15 in the latch furniture. The latch further includes a latch mechanism 11 adapted to engage with the latch furniture 10. The latch mechanism 11 has one or more latch bolts 65 operable by the latch release handle 16 and a latch pin 41 engageable with a striker assembly which is mounted to a section of a window frame. The latch pin 41 is coupled to the sealing lever 17 whereby operation of the sealing lever 17 moves the window section S into a sealing position relative to the striker assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2008Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Assa Abloy New Zealand LimitedInventors: Garth Colin Keighley, Andrew John Terei
