  • Clamping attachment for backhoe
    Patent number: 4803788
    Abstract: This invention involves replacing the link plates in the hydraulically actuate linkage mechanism of a backhoe apparatus with a pivotal cantilever. The cantilever mechanism forms a movable lever arm against which objects can be clamped by the bucket. The length and curvature of the lever arm is selectively predetermined to minimize interference with normal operation of the bucket while providing a support against which objects can be clamped by the bucket.
