Patent number: 10378560Abstract: A hydraulic system for a work machine includes a first switch valve and a first return circuit. The first switch valve is switchable between a confluent position and an isolation position. The first switch valve is switched to the confluent position such that a first operation fluid tube is connected to a second operation fluid tube and a first transmission fluid tube is connected to a second transmission fluid tube. The first switch valve is switched to the isolation position such that the first operation fluid tube is disconnected from the second operation fluid tube and the first operation fluid tube is disconnected from the second operation fluid tube.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignees: KUBOTA CORPORATION, KYB CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshimitsu Tanaka, Kunihiko Bito, Tsukasa Haraguchi, Toshiaki Otani, Yuji Kawano, Masaru Kumatani, Junki Maeda, Shoichi Kawano, Hitoshi Iwamura, Teruo Kunizawa, Takehiro Wakasugi, Akio Matsuura

Patent number: 9181679Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a working machine allowing to form a large opening angle of an equipment cover while avoiding an obstacle even existing in front thereof. A rotating base is installed on a travelling machine body which includes right and left travelling devices, wherein an operation seat and vehicle equipment are arranged in the right and left, an equipment cover for covering the vehicle equipment is openably and closably provided, and a front lower portion of the equipment cover is pivotally supported on the rotating base via a lateral shaft. The lateral shaft of the equipment cover is inclined rearward from one end which is positioned in a side of the operation seat to the other end which is positioned in a side of a side portion of the rotating base.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: KUBOTA CORPORATIONInventors: Takanori Matsumoto, Shoichi Kawano, Hiroya Hanano
