Patent number: 9541943Abstract: Provided is an operation lever adapted to make a blade perform an action other than an up and down action by rotatably a grip around the shaft center of a lever shaft. The operation lever has a lever shaft operable back and forth, corresponding to an up and down action of a blade of a dozer unit, and a grip provided on an upper part of the lever shaft and capable of rotating in a clockwise direction and counterclockwise direction from a neutral position around a shaft center of the lever shaft by a predetermined rotation angle, corresponding to an angle action or a tilting action of the blade. The grip includes a return-to-neutral spring adapted to return the grip from a rotated position to a neutral position, and the rotation angle of the grip in the clockwise direction is set to be different from that in the counterclockwise direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2014Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: KUBOTA CORPORATIONInventors: Takayuki Tokuda, Masahiro Yamamoto, Teruo Kunizawa

Patent number: 6502896Abstract: A backhoe (1) includes an upper structure (3) supported by a traveling device (2) to be rotatable about a vertical swivel axis (X). The upper structure (3) carries an excavator (4) and a cab (12) and has a rear edge (3A) formed arcuate about the swivel axis (X) in plan view. The cab (12) defines an opening (31) with a door (32) attached through hinges (34). The door (32) is pivotable about a vertical open/close axis (Y) of hinges (34). The hinges (34) are arranged on a rear edge opening (31). Each hinge (34) includes a pair of hinges (34A and 34B) which are bent to place the axis (Y) forwardly of the rear end of door (32). Consequently, when the door (32) is set to a fully open position, the free end of door (32) is displaced to a position forwardly of the rear edge (3A) of upper structure (3).Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2000Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Kubota CorporationInventors: Yasuo Nakata, Yoshitaka Matsubara, Kenji Ikeda, Kenzo Koga, Teruo Kunizawa, Tomoaki Miyake
