  • Tool bar wing fold restraining mechanism
    Patent number: 4244428
    Abstract: A folding tool bar with hollow main and wing sections (12, 21, 22) incorporates restraining links (111, 112), disposed within the hollow main section (12) when the wing sections (21, 22) are lowered to their working positions, which not only serve to limit upward folding movement of the wing sections (21, 22) but also form a passageway for the hydraulic hoses (126, 127) extending from the interior of the hollow main section (12) to the interiors of the hollow wing sections (21, 22) thereby protecting the hoses (126, 127) against damage at the folding connections.
