Patent number: 7802815Abstract: A working machine has a main frame structure which includes a pair of endless tracks; each track is entrained about track supporting devices mounted by a track sub-frame. The sub-frame includes inner and outer members interconnected by cross members. The inner and outer members are arranged side by side and mounting at or adjacent upper edges thereof, at least one upper track support device between the members. The inner and outer members mount at or adjacent lower edges thereof, at least one lower track supporting device between the members. The inner and outer members and cross members of at least one of the track sub-frames is a monolithic casting.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2009Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: JCB Compact Products LimitedInventor: Richard James Brindle

Patent number: 7625167Abstract: A control apparatus for material handling vehicle, the control apparatus having an operator control moveable in a first direction. A first actuator controls a first part of the material handling vehicle and a second actuator controls a second part of material handling vehicle. The control apparatus includes a mechanical link moveable between a first position to connect the operator control to the first actuator and a second position to connect the operator control to the second actuator such that movement of the operator control in the first direction causes selective operation of the first actuator or the second actuator.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2007Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: JCB Compact Products LimitedInventor: Alan Leigh Walchester
