Patent number: 11390505Abstract: A frame, a boom assembly, and an actuator. The boom assembly includes a first boom section having a proximal end coupled to the frame and a distal end opposite the proximal end and a second boom section pivotably coupled to the distal end of the first boom section. The actuator is reconfigurable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. The actuator permits the boom assembly to move freely when the actuator is in the unlocked configuration. In the locked configuration, the actuator is positioned to couple the second boom section to the frame such that the actuator limits movement of the first boom section relative to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Ignacy Puszkiewicz, Michael Indermuhle, Matthew Gilbride

Patent number: 10781090Abstract: A telehandler includes a frame assembly, a series of tractive elements rotatably coupled to the frame assembly, a boom assembly, and an actuator selectively reconfigurable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. The boom assembly includes a lower boom section having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the frame assembly, an intermediate boom section pivotably coupled to a distal end of the lower boom section, and an upper boom section having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the intermediate boom section and a distal end configured to be coupled to an implement. The boom assembly is configured to move freely when the actuator is in the unlocked configuration. In the locked configuration, the actuator is positioned to couple the intermediate boom section to the frame assembly such that the actuator limits rotation of the lower boom section relative to the frame assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Ignacy Puszkiewicz, Michael Indermuhle, Matthew Gilbride

Patent number: 10457533Abstract: A telehandler includes a frame assembly, tractive elements, a cabin, a boom assembly, and a locking mechanism selectively reconfigurable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. The boom assembly includes a base boom section having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the frame assembly and a distal end opposite the proximal end, an intermediate boom section pivotably coupled to the distal end of the base boom section, and an upper boom section having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the intermediate boom section and a distal end configured to be coupled to an implement. The boom assembly is configured to move freely when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked configuration. In the locked configuration, the locking mechanism is configured to couple the intermediate boom section to the frame assembly such that the locking mechanism limits rotation of the base boom section relative to the frame assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Ignacy Puszkiewicz, Michael Indermuhle, Matthew Gilbride
