Patent number: 9850640Abstract: A working machine comprising a ground engaging structure and an undercarriage connected to the ground engaging structure. A superstructure is rotatably mounted to the undercarriage so as to be rotatable relative to the undercarriage about a first generally upright axis, an operator's cab is rotatably mounted on the superstructure so as to be rotatable relative to the superstructure about a second generally upright axis, and a working arm is rotatably mounted to the superstructure so as to be moveable up and down about a generally horizontal axis. A drive arrangement is provided for driving the ground engaging structure to propel the working machine. The drive arrangement includes an engine and transmission that are housed within the undercarriage, and a majority of the engine is positioned below a level coincident with a lower extent of the superstructure.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: J. C. Bamford Excavators LimitedInventors: Jonathan Lyle, John Griffin, Peter Jowett

Patent number: 9828049Abstract: A base assembly for a working machine. The base assembly comprising a ground engaging structure, an undercarriage connected to the ground engaging structure, and a connector for connecting the undercarriage to a superstructure that mounts a working arm. A drive arrangement is provided for moving the ground engaging structure to propel, in use, the base assembly and a connected superstructure. The drive arrangement includes a prime mover and a transmission and the drive arrangement is housed within the undercarriage. An electronic control unit (ECU) is provided for controlling the drive arrangement and/or the ground engaging structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: J.C. Bamford Excavators LimitedInventors: Jonathan Lyle, John Griffin, Peter Jowett

Patent number: 9592733Abstract: A working machine comprising: a ground engaging structure with a first and second axle, each mounting two wheels; a body supported on the ground engaging structure, a working arm mounted to the body; and a drive arrangement for moving the ground engaging structure to propel the working machine, the drive arrangement including a prime mover and transmission. The transmission comprises a hydraulic pump driven by the prime mover, a first high speed hydraulic motor to drive the first axle to permit the working machine to be driven at relatively high speeds in a first two-wheel drive operating mode, and a second low speed motor to be supplied with hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump to drive the second axle at relatively low speeds and configured to be driven in conjunction with the first motor in a second four-wheel drive operating mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: J. C. Bamford Excavators LimitedInventors: Jonathan Lyle, John Griffin
