Patents by Inventor Guy Thomas Stoever

Guy Thomas Stoever 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: 10260824
    Abstract: A cooler bypass valve assembly for an agricultural implement includes a cooler bypass valve configured to receive hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic supply. The cooler bypass valve position is adjustable between a first position that facilitates flow of the hydraulic fluid to a cooler bypass and restricts flow of the hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic fluid cooler, and a second position that blocks flow of the hydraulic fluid to the cooler bypass and facilitates flow of the hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic fluid cooler. The hydraulic fluid cooler is capable of reducing a temperature of the hydraulic fluid, and the cooler bypass directs the hydraulic fluid around the hydraulic fluid cooler. Additionally, the cooler bypass valve assembly includes a control assembly that controls the cooler bypass valve position based on the temperature of the hydraulic fluid.

  • Publication number: 20150167276
    Abstract: A power beyond valve assembly for an agricultural implement includes a pressure compensation spool that receives hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic supply and selectively provides the hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic system of the agricultural implement. The position of the pressure compensation spool is adjustable between an open position that facilitates flow of the hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic system and a closed position that blocks flow of the hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic system. Additionally, two fluid connections provide the hydraulic fluid to either end of the pressure compensation spool to urge the pressure compensation spool to an open or a closed position. Further, a pressure relief valve is fluidly coupled to one of the fluid connections, and the pressure relief value is adjustable to vary hydraulic pressure within the hydraulic system.

  • Patent number: 6205875
    Abstract: There is provided in accord with the present invention a work vehicle having a transmission and a clutch control system controlling the vehicle clutches, with the clutch control system including a flow restrictor assembly. The flow restrictor assembly comprises a modulator valve and an unloading valve in fluid communication with the fluid supply and the clutch control system. The unloading valve is selectively in fluid communication with the modulator valve through a modulator tank orifice and is responsive to fluid pressure changes acting on the modulator valve, as the clutch control system operates to control the length of time the modulator valve regulates the rate of flow of fluid to the clutch control system through the modulator tank orifice. In one embodiment the unloading valve spool is nested inside the modulator valve spool.
