Patent number: 9284712Abstract: A universal coupler for a backhoe assembly in which a first link is pivotally connected to the articulation joints of the backhoe assembly. Mounting holes for a first and third style bucket with equal pin spacing are provided on the first link. A second link is connected to the first position and is pivotal between a first position in which the mounting holes are exposed and a second position in which the second link covers the holes on the first link and provides the mounting hole diameter and pin spacing for a bucket having a greater pin spacing.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Nathan J. Bradley, Vikram Nair, Matthew D. Wagenbach, David J. Sanning, Ronald C. Natzke

Patent number: 9145659Abstract: A ride control system uses speed, pressure, hand throttle, foot throttle and seat position information associated with a tractor-loader-backhoe to determine when to engage and disengage the ride control system for the tractor-loader-backhoe. Once the ride control system is engaged, the ride control system can be disengaged in response to either an operator command or a measured speed of the tractor-loader-backhoe being below a predetermined speed.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2013Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Robert Walz, C. David Anderson, Matthew J. Hennemann, David J. Sanning, Nicholas S. Chibucos

Patent number: 6595732Abstract: An open retainer cage provides for retaining a threaded female fastener having a non-circular cross section such as a nut adjacent to a surface of a component part for blind-hole fastening. The retainer cage includes a web portion and a plurality of legs extending from the web portion toward the surface of the component part. The plurality of legs are configured to position the web portion parallel to the surface of the component part. At least one of the plurality of legs is affixed to the surface of the component part. An opening is provided between the plurality of legs for receiving the nut within the plurality of legs, the web portion and the surface of the component part. At least one leg is configured to abut the non-circular cross section of the nut for resisting rotation of the nut. The web can also be provided with a tongue extending from the web over an area not occupied by one of the legs.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Case CorporationInventors: Ronald H. Werner, Ramakrishna R. Nandyala, Robert Eric Dotseth, David J. Sanning
