Patent number: 11098629Abstract: A sensor assembly for use within a flow conduit, the flow conduit configured to receive a treated exhaust of an exhaust treatment system of a work vehicle, includes an exhaust sensor positioned within the flow conduit between the upstream and downstream ends. Moreover, the exhaust sensor is configured to detect an amount of an emission gas present in the treated exhaust. The sensor assembly further includes a sensor shield positioned within the flow conduit upstream of the exhaust sensor. The sensor shield includes a hub and a plurality of flow divider beams extending from the hub. Additionally, the sensor shield creates a wake area downstream of the hub within which a turbulent exhaust flow is generated as the treated exhaust is directed past the sensor shield. Furthermore, the exhaust sensor is configured to receive the turbulent exhaust flow from the wake area.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Samrendra K. Singh, Hossein Gholizadeh, Panos Tamamidis, Salvatore Virgilio

Patent number: 10369914Abstract: A beverage retaining system for an off-road vehicle. The beverage retaining system includes a cup holder tray that has a cup receiving portion with a bottom wall, and at least one magnetic element located subjacent to the bottom wall of the cup receiving portion. The magnetic element is configured to provide a magnetic retention force. The beverage retaining system also includes a beverage container that has a bottom end and at least one retaining element located on the bottom end. The beverage container is configured to be moveable between a secured position in which the at least one retaining element substantially engages with the magnetic retention force of the at least one magnetic element and an unsecured position in which the at least one retaining element substantially disengages with the magnetic retention force of the at least one magnetic element.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: CNH Inudstrial America LLCInventors: Shane M.

Patent number: 9487249Abstract: A cab suspension system for coupling a cab frame to a chassis frame of a work vehicle is disclosed. The chassis frame may include a suspension platform. The suspension system may generally include a pad configured to be coupled to the cab frame and an outer tube extending from the pad in a direction of the suspension platform. The outer tube may define a circumference. Additionally, the suspension system may include a bump stop coupled to the outer tube. The bump stop may extend around a portion of the circumference of the outer tube. Moreover, at least a portion the bump stop may extend below the outer tube such that the bump stop is configured to contact the suspension platform prior to the outer tube when the outer tube is moved in the direction of the suspension platform.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Shane M.

Patent number: 8807633Abstract: A suspension system for a cab of an off-road vehicle includes a superstructure configured to receive a cab frame. The superstructure forms a framework, the corners of which receive suspension assemblies and dampers. The suspension assemblies include one or more springs or resilient elements to resist suspension motion, and the dampers provide dampening of the motion. Lateral and longitudinal suspension motions are resisted by links between the corners of the superstructure. An anti-roll bar reduces roll. The entire suspension system may be pre-assembled and then joined to the vehicle chassis frame. The cab frame may then be placed on the suspension system. Parts of the suspension system may interface with and be housed by roll-over protective structures.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Rowland James Milburn, Michael Bakken, Salvatore Virgilio, David Larry Tveito, David Sheldon Booth, John Thomas Rasset, Jason Keith Novacek, Dallas Lee Jorgenson, Chad Alry Bautz, Michael Bunnell, Shane Michael Scott, Daniel John Zurn, Russell Stoltman

Publication number: 20090196057Abstract: A work vehicle is provided including a frame having a side and an end, the frame structurally carrying a cab structure having a brim. A housing is configured to receive a first light source and a second light source. The housing is structurally carried by the cab structure in close proximity to the brim and disposed above an operator's viewing position. The first light source provides illumination generally directed perpendicular to the end of the frame, the second light source providing illumination generally directed perpendicular to the side of the frame. The first and second light sources are sufficiently disposed within the cab structure for protection from vertically falling objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2008Publication date: August 6, 2009Inventors: Michael David Case, Carl Joseph Hagele, Salvatore Virgilio, Kyle Brenner
