  • Patent number: 3991832
    Abstract: Mounted between a frame and a dozer blade at opposite sides of vertically spaced stabilizing and ball joint connections joining the frame and blade are a pair of hydraulic angling actuators which are operative to angle the blade about a vertical axis defined by the connections. A hydraulic tilt actuator is connected between the frame and blade in the vicinity of the stabilizing connection and is operative to tilt the blade about a fore-and-aft axis passing through the ball joint connection. Pressure relief circuitry including a normally closed relief valve is connected to the angling actuator and the relief valve is opened in response to a predetermined pressure build-up in the angling actuators, as occasioned by changes in the location of the points of connection of the angling actuators with the blade during tilting of the latter, to exhaust fluid from the angling actuators to permit extension or retraction thereof.
