  • Patent number: 7913930
    Abstract: A spray linkage (10) for a crop sprayer includes a support (16) and a central frame (18) pivotally connected to the support (16), the central frame (18) being pivotable about an axis (32) from a neutral position. At least one hydraulic cylinder (34, 36) is fastened at one end to the support (16) and at the other end to the central frame (18). To damp the spray linkage (10) during oscillating movements, at least a first hydraulic cylinder (34, 36) has a first and a second hydraulic chamber (44, 46, 48, 50), a first hydraulic line (52, 54) is provided which discharges into the first hydraulic chamber (44, 46) and a second hydraulic line (54, 52) is provided which discharges into the second hydraulic chamber (48, 50). Restrictor structure (58, 60, 62, 64) throttles hydraulic flow from a hydraulic chamber (44, 46, 48, 50) while hydraulic flow into a hydraulic chamber (44, 46, 48, 50) is relatively unthrottled.

  • Patent number: 6580203
    Abstract: The low-pressure gas discharge lamp has a tubular lamp vessel (1) provided at both of its ends (12) with a lamp cap (4) having contact pins (5). Each lamp cap (4) is fixed in an adapter (6) which, depending on the embodiment chosen, has a certain number of external contact points (7) electrically connected to at least one of the contact pins (5) of the lamp cap (4). Thus the low-pressure gas discharge lamp has the possibility of being connected to various connector buses.
