Patent number: 12653106Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a main frame attachable to a towing vehicle, a wheel support supporting the main frame and having main wheels, and a lifting unit configured to bring the agricultural implement into each of a transport position, a working position, and a headland position. The wheel support and the tedder frame are each pivotable around a common axle on the main frame, the lifting unit includes an adjustment assembly attached directly to the wheel support at a first attachment point and directly to the tedder frame at a second attachment point, the first attachment point and the second attachment point span the common axle and form a triangle therewith, and the lifting unit is configured to pivot the tedder frame and the wheel support around the common axle to bring the agricultural implement into a predetermined position between the working position and the headland position.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2022Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: CNH INDUSTRIAL AMERICA LLCInventor: Klaus Springer

Patent number: 10709067Abstract: Mowers are provided with a safety system to prevent obstacles, such as animals, located in the field from being hit by cutters of the mower. The safety system includes a control unit and at least one detector to detect the obstacle and then provide a warning signal to the control unit, when the obstacle is detected. The control unit provides a separation signal to at least one safety device in response to receiving the warning signal, and the at least one safety device causes separation between the obstacle and the at least one cutter in response to receiving the separation signal. The safety device may be at least one shield which is movable between a retracted position and a protecting position in which it extends in front of the at least one cutter to prevent contact between the at least one cutter and the obstacle.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: AGRO INTELLIGENCE APSInventors: Ole Green, Claes Lund Dühring Jæger, Klaus Springer, Kjeld Jensen, Kim Arild Steen, Morten Larsen, Tom Simonsen, Jacob Gad Linding

Patent number: 9339875Abstract: The invention relates to a deep-hole drill, comprising a first coating extending over the effective length of the guide section and a second coating that is applied to the tip of the drill in the cutting region, the region of which extends over an axial length that, at a maximum, corresponds to double the nominal diameter of the drill. In such a way, when the bore tip is worn by use, said tip can be recoated after sharpening without the nominal diameter of the drill tip substantially increasing, in particular even after being sharpened several times.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2010Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: OERLIKON SURFACE SOLUTIONS AG, PFÄFFIKONInventors: Jens Eggemann, Detlev Bross, Gerhard Peyerl, Klaus Springer

Patent number: 6453003Abstract: This invention concerns an apparatus to transilluminate objects. In known apparatus (1) there are two radiation sources (10, 20) in a transport path of a transport device (3), below to the right and left, as well as a third radiation source (30) arranged horizontal to the transport path (3), with the two radiation sources (10, 20) lying close together, one behind the other. Three detector apparatus (11, 14, 31) are arranged opposite these radiation sources (10, 20, 30). Thus, a so called multi-view from three beam directions is created, with beam paths (FX1.1, FX2.2, FX3) extending perpendicular to a transport direction. Contrary thereto, in the solution described herein, various radiation beam paths (FX1.1, FX1.2, FX2.1, FX2.2, FX3) cross so that not every beam radiation path extends perpendicular to the transport direction. This has the advantage that the apparatus can be structured in a space saving manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2001Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Heimann Systems GmbHInventors: Klaus Springer, Norbert Haunschild
