  • Patent number: 10590631
    Abstract: An indicator for a quick coupler for the mounting of an attachment to an earth working machine. The indicator (10) has a sensor (14,15) which, in response to movement of a movable pin engagement component (F) of a coupler (A), determines that the pin engagement component (F) will have moved sufficiently to engage and lock a pin (P2) of an attachment with the coupler (A). The indicator (10) has an indicating part (17) which is caused to be moved in response to the sensor (14,15) to thereby provide a visual indication (25) that engagement and locking of the pin (P2) has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20150322646
    Abstract: A locking mechanism 10 for a quick coupler A has a movable locking element 11. A biasing element 13 is adapted to bias the locking element 11 to move in a first direction. An operator 12 is arranged to move the locking element 11 against the bias of the biasing element 13. The locking element 11 has teeth or serrations 19 which, when the locking element 11 is moved by the biasing element 13 in the first direction, is engageable with further teeth or serrations 20 coupled to a movable wedge element F of the quick coupler A to lock the wedge element 11 against movement. The movement of the locking element 11 creates a compressive force that causes the teeth/serrations 19, 20 to positively mesh and remain meshed.

  • Publication number: 20100038936
    Abstract: A clamping apparatus has a first jaw, an elongate bar, a second jaw. A driving lever is selectively engageable with the bar to move the first jaw in a first direction relative to the second jaw. A braking lever normally engages the bar to prevent the first jaw from moving in a second direction and, when disengaged, enables the first jaw to move in the second direction. A safety lock when in a locked configuration prevents disengagement of the braking lever from the elongate bar. As the safety lock changes from the released configuration to the locked configuration, the safety lock causes engagement of the driving lever on the elongate bar, causing movement of the first jaw in the first direction relative to the second jaw. A table-mountable chair comprises two of the clamping apparatuses.
