Patent number: 11558989Abstract: A three-point hitch for an agricultural tractor includes a lift arm, a lower link arm, and a lift spindle disposed between the lift arm and link arm for transmitting a pivoting movement performed on the lift arm to the link arm. The lift spindle includes a first fastening section on the lift arm and a second fastening section on the link arm. An elongated hole is formed in the second fastening section along a longitudinal direction of the lift spindle, and a mounting pin extends through a fastening opening in the link arm and is mounted in the elongated hole. At least two spaced apart locking regions are formed along the elongated hole for receiving a shaped feature on the mounting pin. A movement of the link arm along the elongated hole is blocked when the shaped feature is received in one of the locking regions.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Achim Schibel, Werner Zahn

Publication number: 20080084048Abstract: The invention relates to a telescopic steering arm assembly for a vehicle-implement coupling mechanism. There is a need for a steering arm assembly housing which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. A steering arm assembly includes a steering arm, a housing, a detent mechanism and a cover. The housing has a detent channel and forms a rim surrounding an opening of the detent channel. An attaching groove is formed in the rim. The detent mechanism is movable in the detent channel to releasably holding the steering arm in the housing. The cover is mountable on the rim to cover the detent mechanism. The cover has a mounting bead which engages the attaching groove of the rim.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2007Publication date: April 10, 2008Inventors: Daniel Vergara, Werner Zahn

Patent number: 6293720Abstract: A pencil having an axially-movable core, particularly a soft-core pencil, for example a cosmetic pencil. The pencil has a sleeve-shaped pencil body with a core opening on the side of the tip, a core-driving part that holds the core and is seated to be axially movable in the pencil body, and a rotating sleeve that is disposed coaxially to the core and the pencil body is seated to be rotatably and axially fixed and cooperates directly or indirectly with the core-driving part in the manner of a spindle gear. At least one longitudinal section of the rotating sleeve that is remote from the tip is surrounded by the pencil body. Also, the circumferential wall of the pencil body that surrounds the rotating sleeve has at least one actuation window, and the rear end of the core is inserted so as to be rotatably and axially fixed into a front section of the core-driving part that is embodied as a core-retaining part having a tube-section shape.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1999Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: A.W. Faber-Castell Unternehmensverwaltung GmbH & Co.Inventor: Werner Zahn

Patent number: 5692573Abstract: Disclosed is a towing arrangement for a work vehicle. The towing arrangement includes a generally fore-and-aft extending positioning frame including a main frame and a guide frame. The main frame is pivotally connected to the vehicle for vertical pivotal movement between a raised transport position and a lowered position and the guide frame is supported by and movable longitudinally of the main frame and extendable from the free end of the frame by a hydraulic cylinder connected between the main frame and the slide frame. Lift arms are connected to the free end of the positioning frame for moving the frame between its raised and lowered positions, and a towing device is carried by the free end of the positioning frame. A retaining plate is secured to the rear of the vehicle and has a pair of rearwardly extending brackets secured thereto. A retaining lug is attached to one of the towing device and the free end of the positioning frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1995Date of Patent: December 2, 1997Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Werner Zahn, Joachim Heilmann

Patent number: 4713981Abstract: A remote actuating mechanism, in particular for actuating a control lever of a three-point implement hitch, has a transmission unit with a slide which is movable longitudinally by means of a swingable driver. The driver can be held in an inoperative position and has a spring-loaded driving pin by means of which a positive connection can be obtained between the driver and the transmission unit in any position of the slide. The positive connection is possible, however, only in a single spatial relationship between the driver and the slide. In the inoperative position, the driver is separated from the slide and a lock is provided to prevent unintentional actuation.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1986Date of Patent: December 22, 1987Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventor: Werner Zahn
