Publication number: 20240124073Abstract: A refuse body adapter includes a sub-frame assembly, a sub-frame adapter, and a spacer. The sub-frame assembly is configured to be coupled to a cargo body. The sub-frame adapter is configured to be coupled to a chassis of a vehicle. The spacer is coupled to both the sub-frame assembly and the sub-frame adapter. The spacer is disposed in a gap formed between the sub-frame assembly and the sub-frame adapter. A thickness of the spacer may be adjusted to accommodate different gap sizes between the sub-frame assembly and the sub-frame adapter.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Leslie Schwartz, Robert Ryan, Matthew Deinema, John Kellander, Emily Davis, Rob Messina

Publication number: 20220219896Abstract: An attachment system includes a lateral member and an attachment interface. The attachment interface is configured to selectively engage with an attachment to facilitate releasably coupling the attachment to a vehicle. The attachment interface includes a first connecting plate coupled to the lateral member proximate a first end of the lateral member and a second connecting plate coupled to the lateral member proximate an opposing second end of the lateral member. Each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate includes (i) an upper interface positioned at an upper end thereof and (ii) a lower interface positioned at a lower end thereof. The upper interface of each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate defines a first aperture. The lower interface of each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate defines a second aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: July 14, 2022Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Logan Gary, David Giere, Vincent Hoover, Zachary Klein, Jerrod Kappers, Leslie Schwartz, Jacob Solberg, Jacob Wallin, Derek Wente

Patent number: 9845191Abstract: An ejector for a refuse vehicle including a structural frame, a first shoe, and a second shoe. The structural frame includes a first side plate offset from a second side plate, and the distance between the first side plate and the second side plate defines a side plate spacing. The first shoe is coupled to the first side plate and includes a first surface configured to interface with a first ejector track. The second shoe is coupled to the second side plate and includes a second surface configured to interface with the second ejector track. A lateral spacing between the first surface and the second surface is less than or equal to the side plate spacing such that loading imparted on the structural frame is transmitted directly into the first ejector track and the second ejector track.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2013Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Leslie Schwartz, Jason Gillmore, Shashank Bhatia, Jarud Hoefker

Patent number: 9387985Abstract: A body assembly for a vehicle includes a storage body, a tailgate rotatably coupled to the storage body, an actuator, and a prop. The actuator includes a cylinder tube having an outer tube end coupled to the tailgate and a rod having an outer rod end coupled to the body. Extension and retraction of the actuator moves the tailgate between an open position and a closed position. The prop has an interface surface configured to selectively engage the cylinder tube. The rod end and the prop are rotatably coupled to a lower portion of the storage body such that an operator standing alongside the refuse vehicle may support the tailgate in the open position by directly engaging the prop.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Jason Gillmore, Jarud Hoefker, Leslie Schwartz, Shashank Bhatia
