  • Patent number: 11260730
    Abstract: A cab for a power machine having a side window and a rear window each hingedly connected to the same one of a right rear cab frame post and a left rear cab frame post such that when the side window and rear window are both opened by latches to rotate outward relative to the same rear post an airflow path is created diagonally across the operator between a front corner of the cab and an opposite rear corner of the cab.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10344453
    Abstract: Joystick controllers having one or both of a reference bar and a throat plate. The reference bar substantially surrounds the joystick and is mounted to a control panel, and provides a hand rest surface for an operator while operating the joystick. A top curved surface of the reference bar extends substantially parallel to the path of movement of the joystick in the fore and aft direction of travel. The throat plate has a shape oriented with tapered surfaces and vertices at the furthest fore and aft points to limit turning, caused by movement of the joystick in a side-to-side direction, at higher forward and aft speeds. The joystick can be biased such that, in the neutral position, it is oriented aft of center to allow for a full forward stroke, while limiting rearward stroke.

  • Patent number: 9885167
    Abstract: An interface for an implement that is to be operably coupled to a power machine includes an implement carrier mountable to a power machine for securing the implement for use with the power machine. The implement carrier includes an implement carrier frame, a locking feature for securing an implement, and a coupler block that is pivotally mounted to the implement carrier frame for engaging couplers on the implement. Implements and adapters configured to interface with the implement carrier are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9631755
    Abstract: A carrier for an implement that can be operably coupled to a power machine. In one example, an implement carrier can be mountable to a power machine for securing an implement for use with the power machine. The implement carrier can include an implement carrier frame, a locking feature for securing an implement, and a coupler block that is pivotally mounted to the implement carrier frame for engaging couplers on the implement.
