  • Patent number: 11072912
    Abstract: A protection element for an earth-working implement includes a flat plate having a wearing portion on a side of the flat plate facing a distal end of the earth-working implement. A lower portion of the flat plate forms an attachment portion provided with notches, projecting portions, or a combination thereof configured to engage with the earth-working implement. When the attachment portion is engaged with the earth-working implement, the protection element is configured to project above a plane coinciding with a top surface of at least a portion of the earth-working implement proximal to the protection element such that the portion of the earth-working implement proximal to the protection element is shielded from a flow of loose mass during use of the earth-working implement. The wearing portion is arranged at an upper portion of the flat plate. The attachment portion is arranged at a lower portion of the flat plate.

  • Patent number: 9867323
    Abstract: A device for automatically adjusting the working width of the first plough body of a plough in accordance with the variable working width of subsequent plough bodies. A first hydraulic cylinder displaces a rear frame section laterally. A second hydraulic cylinder pivots the rear frame section to adjust a transverse spacing of the plough bodies. The first hydraulic cylinder includes a multi-stage cylinder. A first cylinder stage forms a main lateral control, and a second cylinder stage forms an automatic working-width control for the first plough body. The second cylinder stage is in hydraulic-fluid communication with the second hydraulic cylinder in a master-slave configuration. The second cylinder stage is master or the slave depending on a moving direction of the cylinder stage and the second hydraulic cylinder being slave or the master. Piston diameters are matched to provide a correction of a lateral displacement of the front frame section.
