Publication number: 20240102783Abstract: A tool, such as a tape measure, including a spring-based retraction system is shown. Various spring-based retraction system embodiments are configured to decrease the size occupied by the spring within the tape measure housing, which consequently reduces tape measure housing size providing a more compact tape measure. Various spring-based retraction system embodiments are configured to control retraction of the tape measure in a manner that reduces whip or otherwise controls tape blade retraction. Some retraction system embodiments utilize a reduction gear train, and others utilize a compression spring and a transmission system that converts rotational movement of the tape reel to axial movement, which compresses the spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Collin J. Nelson, David Andrew Wortelboer, Kyle C. Anderson, Abhijeet A. Khangar, Jonathan F. Vitas

Publication number: 20210277622Abstract: A hybrid bucket assembly for a work vehicle having movable loader arms includes a structural skeleton having a frame, one or more support struts mounted to the frame, and one or more brackets coupled to the support struts configured to interface with a carrier at distal ends of the loader arms. A bucket shell is mounted to the skeleton that defines a carry volume for materials. Force loading on the bucket shell is carried by the skeleton through the struts.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: Deere & CompanyInventors: Sebastian Rupp, Carlos Vargas, Joerg Jens Hoefle, Ignacio Alonso Martinez, Sankaran Subramaniam, Steffen Fischer, Jonathan J.

Patent number: 10830275Abstract: A breakaway joint for a boom arm assembly includes a first boom segment defining a pivot axis at a first end, a second boom segment pivotally coupled to the first boom segment at the pivot axis, a bracket coupled to the first boom segment, a leaf spring coupled to the bracket between the first boom segment and the second boom segment, and a cam coupled to the second boom segment and positioned adjacent to the leaf spring. The first boom segment and the second boom segment are pivotally aligned in a neutral position. In the neutral position, the leaf spring contacts the cam at a first contact force, and in any position other than the neutral position, the leaf spring contacts the cam at a contact force greater than the first contact force.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Nathan Tortorella, Sankaran Subramaniam, Gregory S. McCunn, Jonathan J. Nelson, Gregory E. Peterson, Andrew E. DePriest, Richard J. Chowaniec, Jr.

Patent number: 10729067Abstract: A biomass impact sensor for sensing impacts of biomass material may include a pressure sensitive film having a first sensing face and a second opposite face, a first layer of a first material composition directly abutting the first sensing face having a first stiffness, and a second layer of a second material composition directly abutting the second opposite face. The first layer and the second layer may be joined along opposite edges of the pressure sensitive film to envelope the sensing material layer on the opposite edges.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Curtis R. Hammer, Jonathan J. Nelson
