Abstract: A disk brake assembly wherein the floating caliper member houses an adjustable nut in which is mounted a power screw for actuating the carrier members and their brake pads into frictional engagement with a rotatable disk. The power screw has a cam connected to it, with the cam also adjustable mounted on an actuating lever to permit selected rotation of the cam to adjust the axial position of the power screw to compensate for wear.

Abstract: A separable casing or housing for a liquid cooled disc brake assembly wherein the separable parts of the casing are held together by a plurality of circumferentially spaced rods. The casing provides a sealed chamber in which a plurality of axially spaced rotor discs are interleaved with a plurality of stator discs. The rods also extend axially through the stator discs radially inwardly of their peripheral circumference and thus provide a reactive stationary force for the braking action. The rotor discs are splined connected to the rotating wheel that is to be braked.

Abstract: A disc brake assembly comprises a caliper member that is rectilinearly movable relative to a support member via a pin member that slidably guides the caliper member while secured to the support member. A second pin member is secured to and movable with the caliper member while interconnected to the support member via a deformable elastomeric ring that aids in the return of the caliper member and the friction elements connected thereto upon termination of a braking operation.

Abstract: A hood door assembly including a first door which swings about a generally horizontally disposed axis and a second door which swings about a generally vertical axis for providing access to an engine compartment for servicing of an engine. A rod is provided for holding the first door both in its open and closed positions. One end of the rod is pivotally attached to the hood while a free end of the rod is engageable within a slot in a retainer plate when the first door is closed. The rod includes a bent handle portion adjacent its free end which is rotated for engaging or releasing the free end of the rod within the retainer plate slot when the first door is closed. Further, when the first door is swung open about its generally horizontal axis, the free end of the rod is inserted through an opening in a bracket on the first door such that the bent handle portion engages the bracket for supporting the first door in an open position.

Abstract: Fan-shroud structure and mounting which compensates for relative movement between an engine and radiator to prevent contact between a rotating fan and the shroud structure. In one embodiment of the invention, a one-piece fiberglass shroud is provided having a generally rectangular end portion which is integral with and merges into an opposed annular venturi portion. The rectangular end portion is secured to a bulbous seal which accommodates the relative movement between the engine and radiator to prevent damage to the shroud. In an alternate embodiment, a one-piece fiberglass venturi shroud is provided having a rounded convergent end section, a throat section and a divergent end section. A box-like outer shroud having an opening therein receives the convergent end section and a bulbous seal is fitted around the opening in the outer shroud for engagement with the throat section.

Abstract: An attachment assembly for adjustably securing the control arm and bellcrank arm of an anti-rollback linkage for material handling buckets. The anti-rollback control arm includes a generally flat planar arm portion and a position adjusting shaft with the longitudinal axis of the position adjusting shaft being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the arm portion. The bellcrank arm is generally U-shaped in cross-section and includes openings through side wall flanges for receiving an end portion of the position adjusting shaft. The shaft end portion is adjustably secured to the bellcrank arm by a U-bolt fastener which extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the position adjusting shaft and which is attached to the bellcrank arm. The position adjusting shaft end portion includes spaced apart knurled peripheral band areas which are separated by at least one smooth peripheral area.

Abstract: A self-leveling linkage assembly for maintaining a bucket in a level condition and for preventing the bucket from being rolled rearwardly beyond a predetermined maximum rollback position as the lift arm for the bucket is moved to an extreme raised position. The self-leveling linkage assembly includes a control arm rotatably mounted to a tractor frame at a location forwardly of the lift arm pivot, a position link connected between the control arm and bucket, a control valve for actuating a bucket cylinder, and a linkage connected between the control valve and a manually operable control handle. If the bucket rolls back beyond a predetermined position, the position link causes the control arm to rotate which in turn actuates the control valve for the bucket cylinder thereby rolling the bucket to a level position.
