  • Patent number: 11858545
    Abstract: A vehicle having a support structure includes a front structural section for receiving a front axle assembly and a rear structural section opposite the front structural section in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A support part is arranged between the front structural section and the rear structural section as part of the support structure. The support part has a support wall which runs in a self-contained manner in the circumferential direction transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11399452
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for mounting a front three-point hitch on a tractor includes a linking part for articulated mounting of the front three-point hitch, a connecting part for coupling the linking part to a support structure of the tractor, and a first contact region defined on the linking part and a second contact region defined on the connecting part. The first contact region interacts with the second contact region for coupling the linking part to the connecting part. The first contact region and the second contact region are separably clamped to one another in a coupling position. The linking part is selectively disposable in one of a plurality of coupling positions relative to the connecting part.

  • Patent number: 11357154
    Abstract: A power lift for an agricultural tractor includes a supporting structure configured to be mounted on the agricultural tractor. A left lower link, a right lower link, and an upper link are coupled in a pivotally movable manner, wherein the left and the right lower links and the upper link include coupling elements for attachment of an agricultural attachment. The left and the right lower links are rotatably coupled to one another via a lifting shaft, the lifting shaft being aligned with a lower link pivot axis. The left and the right lower links are pivotable by an actuating element which runs between at least one of the lower links and a support point of the supporting structure jointly about the lower link pivot axis in relation to the supporting structure.

  • Patent number: 10525825
    Abstract: A reinforcement for a tank wall of a vehicle tank includes at least one reinforcing shield for flanking the tank wall, a shield support for supporting the reinforcing shield, and a clamping element. The shield support is axially secured in an axial direction on a clamping element. At least a portion of the reinforcing shield extends in a flank direction transverse to the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 7530592
    Abstract: A towing mechanism includes a pair of brackets for receiving a drawbar therebetween, and a locking device. A towing bolt is received by locating bores in the brackets. The locking device includes a locking pin which is axially slidable in a pin bore in a component. The locking device is mounted on the upper bracket so that, in a locked condition, the locking pin projects out of the bore and prevents axial movement of the towing bolt. A blocking member at least partially covers the pin bore and prevents the extraneous material from contacting the locking pin, in order to reduce the likelihood of an unintentional release of the towing bolt.
