Patent number: 10010162Abstract: A portable beverage service device may include a base, defining a central cavity, and a minor lid movably coupled to the base. An organizing divider may be disposed in the base over the central cavity. A plurality of container receptacles may be positioned on the organizing divider and may extend into the central cavity. A chest, which may define an auxiliary cavity that extends into the central cavity, may be disposed in the organizing divider. A major lid, having a lateral restraint, may be coupled to the base and may be movable between a major lid open position and a major lid closed position. The lateral restraint may be moved to a horizontal position when the major lid is in the major lid closed position, and the lateral restraint may be moved to a vertical position when the major lid is in the major lid open position.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Bar2Go LLCInventors: Danny K. Woods, Craig M. Bracken, Thomas Tuttle

Patent number: 9561819Abstract: A method for actively determining a steering stop angle for tires associated with a front axle of a work vehicle may generally include receiving an input associated with a tire parameter for the tires, monitoring a suspension travel distance of the front axle and monitoring an oscillation angle of the front axle. In addition, the method may include determining a maximum allowable steering angle for the tires based on both the suspension travel distance and the oscillation angle of the front axle, wherein the maximum allowable steering angle corresponds to a steering angle at which clearance is maintained between the tires and at least one hood-related component of the work vehicle when the tires are moved to the maximum steering angle.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventor: Thomas Tuttle

Patent number: 9549497Abstract: A method and apparatus for automating some of the tasks that heretofore required operator action at headland turns or similar events are provided. The present invention automates operation of lift assist wheels and/or gull wings, such as those found on a stack-fold implement, based on the position of the tractor hitch to which the implement is coupled. An operator may control the position of the implement, such as at a headland turn, by raising and lowering the tractor hitch using a remote control. The invention enables the planter to compare the tractor hitch position relative to an implement position and control operation of the implement accordingly without additional user inputs.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: CNH Industrial Canada, Ltd.Inventors: Thomas Tuttle, Tyler Remoue
