  • Patent number: 10392773
    Abstract: A four-bar assembly for a linkage assembly includes an arm pivot pin pivotally coupling a front arm with a rear arm of the linkage assembly. The arm pivot pin forms a first vertex of the four-bar assembly. A distal end of the front arm forms a second vertex of the four-bar assembly. The four-bar assembly includes a tilt cylinder having a first end and a second end. The first end of the tilt cylinder is pivotally coupled to a bracket angularly extending from the rear arm at a first end pin. The first end pin forms a third vertex of the four-bar assembly and the second end of the tilt cylinder forms a fourth vertex of the four-bar assembly respectively. An angle formed at the arm pivot pin and defined between the rear arm and the bracket lies between 0 and 90 degrees.
