  • Patent number: 4441596
    Abstract: A vehicle inching mechanism is interlocked with a braking mechanism so as to overlap their operating ranges without hampering the low-speed start or stop of the vehicle by the inching mechanism. An inching pedal and a brake pedal are mounted side by side on a stationary shaft via sleeves rotatably fitted thereover and linked to an inching valve and a brake master cylinder, respectively. The sleeves have square jaws at their opposed ends for mating engagement, with clearances therebetween to allow rotation of either sleeve relative to the other within limits. A torsion spring is anchored at one end to the inching pedal sleeve and held at the other end against an abutment on the brake pedal sleeve. Upon depression of the inching pedal, therefore, not only the inching valve but also the brake master cylinder is activated, first through the torsion spring and then through the intermeshing jaws. The depression of the brake pedal results only in the actuation of the master cylinder.

  • Patent number: 4185662
    Abstract: An apparatus for actuating an operating valve unit for winch comprising a casing, a first shaft fixedly supported within said casing, second and third shafts rotatably supported within said casing, said second and third shafts being operatively connected with a hook lever and a boom lever, respectively. Said valve unit includes six valves for operating a hook clutch, a hook brake, a boom clutch, a boom brake, a lifting clutch, and a lower clutch, respectively.First and second cams are slidably and rotatably mounted on said first shaft and a third cam is rotatably but not slidably mounted on said first shaft. Said first shaft is operatively connected with said second and third shafts, respectively, so as to selectively actuate said valves in response to operations of said hook lever and said boom lever.
