Patent number: 10513179Abstract: Systems and methods for mounting auxiliary devices, such as hydraulic pumps or electric generators, to a power takeoff (PTO) maintain alignment of the auxiliary device with the PTO while allowing hand rotation of the auxiliary device to an appropriate orientation and secure the auxiliary device to the PTO in the selected orientation. Embodiments include a stationary member that connects to a PTO and captures a rotatable member between the stationary member and the PTO. When the appropriate orientation of the auxiliary device is achieved, the rotatable member can be moved toward the auxiliary device to connect to the auxiliary device and to engage the stationary member (and to possibly engage teeth in the stationary member) to lock the orientation of the rotatable member.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2016Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Muncie Power Products, Inc.Inventors: John Rinkenbaugh, Dave Gormley, David Houston Freeman, James Robert Abbott
