  • Publication number: 20210277622
    Abstract: A hybrid bucket assembly for a work vehicle having movable loader arms includes a structural skeleton having a frame, one or more support struts mounted to the frame, and one or more brackets coupled to the support struts configured to interface with a carrier at distal ends of the loader arms. A bucket shell is mounted to the skeleton that defines a carry volume for materials. Force loading on the bucket shell is carried by the skeleton through the struts.

  • Publication number: 20110121609
    Abstract: A vehicle cab frame includes a base frame, with connection elements mounted on the base frame, as well as support elements mounted on the connection elements. Functional surfaces for linking attachment parts are formed on the support elements and the functional surfaces have a specified spatial orientation subject to tolerances. In order to improve the positioning accuracy of functional surfaces, the support elements are oriented and positioned relative to the connection elements so that tolerance deviations due to the construction of the base frame can be compensated by corresponding orientation and positioning of the support elements relative to the connection elements.

  • Patent number: 6530293
    Abstract: A shift mechanism for motor vehicle transmissions having a selector lever (14) supported in bearings in a housing (10) that can be pivoted about a transverse axle (24) in longitudinal direction and about a longitudinal axle (50) in the transverse direction. At the selector lever (14) or at components (26, 82) moving with the selector lever (14) on the one hand and on components (96, 100) fixed to the housing on the other hand, position indicating elements (128, 130) or sensors (102-114, 120-126) are arranged in such a way that the sensors (102-114, 120-126) respond upon the approach to position indicating elements (128, 130) and transmit signals to a transmission control arrangement corresponding to the pivoted position of the selector lever (14).
