  • Patent number: 5907970
    Abstract: A take-off power package system (TOPPS) designed to allow a number of tool packages to be quickly and positively connected to a prime mover package. The prime mover package comprises an internal combustion engine (ICE) which is mounted to a lightweight, tubular steel or aluminum frame. A flexible, quick-connect coupling is mounted directly to the engine crankshaft for mating with a coupling on the drive shaft of a selected driven tool package. Two clamps, and a plate and pin alignment system are provided on the drive shaft side of the frame for positively securing the selected tool package to the prime mover package. An auxiliary fuel tank may also be mounted to the prime mover package to extend the operating time of the engine. The tool packages house a number of shaft driven implements, including hydraulic pumps, electric generators, air compressors, etc. As with the prime mover package, the tool packages also include a lightweight, tubular steel or aluminum frame for mounting the particular implement.
