Claire Rogge has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11174617
    Abstract: Carrier vehicles—such as, for example, front loaders—are configured to operated with one or more interchangeable implements that are selectively coupled to the carrier vehicle by driving the carrier vehicle towards a desired implement and aligning the implement attachment points with corresponding attachment points on an implement mount that is attached to the carrier vehicle. In some cases, the operator's view of the various attachment points (catch hook and support pins, rods, lines) of the implement and the implement mount is blocked by the front loader arms (booms) or other components of the carrier vehicle. Systems and methods are presented herein for aligning the carrier vehicle with the implement using marks/indicators that are visible by the operator of the carrier vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10458096
    Abstract: Front loaders typically have interchangeable implements that require an operator to drive toward a desired implement and to attempt to align the implement attachment points with the attachment points on an implement mount that is attached to the loader. This is made more difficult because the operator's view of the various attachment points (catch hook and support pins, rods, links) of the implement and the implement mount is often blocked by the front loader arms (booms) or other front loader components, thus, aligning the implement and the implement can be very difficult. The present disclosure provides for a system and method to simplify the above-described implement alignment processes.
