  • Patent number: 10270206
    Abstract: A connector assembly that has a connector including a coupling member rotatably coupled to a body, a gripping sleeve that receives a portion of the body and a portion of the coupling member, and a torque limiting feature associated with one or both of the gripping sleeve and the coupling member. The torque limiting feature has first and second predetermined torque limits. Rotation of the gripping sleeve applies torque to and rotates the coupling member in a tightening direction until the first predetermined torque limit is reached such that no additional torque is applied to the coupling member by the gripping sleeve that is greater than the first predetermined torque limit. The gripping sleeve rotates with respect to coupling member in a loosening direction until the second predetermined torque limit is reached thereby allowing the gripping sleeve to rotate the coupling member in the loosening direction.

  • Patent number: 9968021
    Abstract: A multi-coupler assembly for a work vehicle includes a first bank of fluid connectors, a second bank of fluid connectors configured to matingly engage the first bank of fluid connectors along a coupling axis, and a coupler mechanism coupled to the first bank of fluid connectors. The coupler mechanism is controllable to bring the second fluid connector bank into mating engagement with the first fluid connector bank. A breakaway feature is integrated into the coupler mechanism. The breakaway feature facilitates controlled disengagement of the first fluid connector bank from the second fluid connector bank along the coupling axis during a breakaway event, such as when an implement inadvertently detaches from the work vehicle. The breakaway feature may permit controlled disengagement of the first and second fluid connector banks without requiring movement of the coupler mechanism.

  • Patent number: 9929499
    Abstract: A connector assembly that has a connector configured to engage a mating connector that includes a coupling member rotatably coupled to a body. A gripping sleeve receives the body and the coupling member. A torque limiting feature provides first and second predetermined torque limits and includes a slip element associated with the gripping sleeve and cooperating engaging element associated with the coupling member. The slip element and the engaging element engage one another such that rotation of the gripping sleeve applies torque to and rotates the coupling member in a tightening direction until the first predetermined torque limit is reached when the slip element disengages from the engaging element and the gripping member rotates with respect to the coupling member in a loosening direction until the second predetermined torque limit is reach allowing the gripping sleeve to rotate the coupling member in the loosening direction.

  • Patent number: 9929498
    Abstract: A connector assembly that has a connector including a coupling member rotatably coupled to a body, and the coupling member has an interface end configured to engage a mating connector. A gripping sleeve receives at least a portion of the body and at least a portion of the coupling member. A torque limiting feature includes a slip element located at or near the front end of the gripping sleeve and an engaging element located on the coupling member. The slip element and the engaging element engage one another such that rotation of the gripping sleeve applies torque to and rotates the coupling member in a tightening direction until a predetermined torque limit is reached when the slip element disengages from the engaging element allowing the gripping sleeve to rotate with respect to the coupling member such that torque is no longer applied to the coupling member by the gripping sleeve.
