Publication number: 20240018740Abstract: This invention related to a coupler for securing an attachment to an earth working machine. The coupler comprises a coupler body that presents a receptacle having a capture region. A pin of an attachment can move into and out of the capture region. A retainer can capture the pin in the capture region but the retainer can be moved by a hydraulically driven driver to a position to allow release the pin from the capture region. A trigger that the pin will strike when the pin moves into or out of the capture region, decouples the driver from the retainer and the retainer is then allowed to be biased back to its retaining position by a spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: WEDGELOCK EQUIPMENT LIMITEDInventors: Andre Richard ANDERSON, Marshall Andrew Stewart HANLON, Garth Colin KEIGHLEY, Andrew James Phillip RIDER, Michael Hugh James RIDER

Patent number: 11846083Abstract: A wedge locking element (10) for a locking device of a quick coupler A for coupling the pin P2 of an attachment to earth working machinery. The wedge locking element (10) has a sloping wedge surface (13). Projecting from the wedge surface (13) is an engagement surface (12) with which the attachment pin P2 can engage but not apply any substantial driving force to the wedge locking element (10) in the event of failure of a force maintaining the wedge locking element (10) in a position where the pin P2 is retained with the coupler A. The pin engagement surface (12) lies in a plane that is substantially in line with the direction in which the locking element (10) is, in use, moved by the driving force.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: WEDGELOCK EQUIPMENT LIMITEDInventors: Michael Hugh James Rider, Andrew James Phillip Rider, David Aperahama Calvert, Matthew James Calvert, Andre Richard Anderson

Publication number: 20230380815Abstract: A non-invasive system for sampling gastrointestinal microbiota with their associated environment for discovery, characterization, medical research, diagnostics, and treatment using an ingestible, non-digestible sampling capsule. The capsule device, with ports open for acquiring a sample of gastrointestinal microbiota and content, is placed inside an immediate or delayed release capsule. When the outer capsule dissolves according to its specifications, enteric fluid and content enters the sampling capsule through the ports triggering a hydrophilic stop to release a pulling force to close the ports by enveloping the capsule outer casing over the inner casing, capturing the sample, and holding it sealed until it completes passage through the digestive track, and is recovered from feces for analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventor: James Phillip Jones
