  • Patent number: 5934147
    Abstract: A linkage arrangement supports an implement such that the implement is movable relative to a support member which is also movable relative to a structure. Movement of the implement and support member is limited by mechanical and/or mechanically operated limits. The linkage mechanism enables an increase in the ability to move and orientate the implement within a limit envelope. In a preferred form, a first linkage arm is pivotably mounted to a prime mover. At a distal end of the first linkage arm an orientation member is pivotably attached, the orientation member pivotably attached to a first limit actuating arm. The rotation of the first linkage arm causes rotation of the orientation member. The orientation member provides a base for the attachment of a further arm or implement. The first arm or implement is prevented from contacting the prime mover by the limits provided by the orientation member.
