  • Patent number: 11882781
    Abstract: A control system for an implement hitch of an agricultural vehicle, wherein the hitch is mounted to the vehicle and includes one or more hydraulic cylinders or other actuators operable to raise and lower the hitch between minimum and maximum heights relative to the vehicle and hold the hitch static at one or more heights between the minimum and maximum heights. The control system includes a rocker control device having a first operating position and being movable in a first direction to a first limit position and in a second direction to a second limit position. An electronic control unit connected to the rocker control device is configured to control operation of the or each of the hydraulic cylinders or actuators and thereby control raising and lowering of the hitch in response to user operation of the rocker control device.

  • Publication number: 20160322740
    Abstract: An electric cable includes at least one current line having first and second ends, including several wires, a first plug connector and at least one second plug connector arranged on the first and second ends, respectively. At least one plug connector includes a material having A) 98.0% to 99.8% by weight of a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyurethane (PU), styrene-butadiene block copolymers (SBS), perfluorocarbons and mixtures thereof, and B) 0.2% to 2.0% by weight additives. The total of components A and B results in 100% by weight. A first connection nut and at least one second connection nut are arranged on the first and second plug connectors, respectively. At least one light source is arranged in a first plug connector and/or in a second plug connector and is configured in order to be supplied with electrical energy by at least one wire of the current line.

  • Publication number: 20140291018
    Abstract: An electric cable includes at least one power line having first and second ends, including multiple cores. Each core has a core insulation. All core insulations are enclosed by a common sheath. The core insulations and the sheath each include a material which is selected, independently of one another, from silicones, perfluorocarbons, cross-linked polyolefins, mica, glass fibers, ceramic fibers, and mixtures thereof. A first plug connector is arranged on the first end of the power line, and at least one second plug connector is arranged on the second end of the power line. The plug connectors each include a flame retardant containing polyurethane. A first connecting nut is arranged on the first plug connector, and at least one second connecting nut is arranged on the second plug connector. The connecting nuts each include a perfluorocarbon. A method uses the electric cable as a control line for a welding device.
