  • Patent number: 6902026
    Abstract: A wheel traveling and operating vehicle includes a tire wheel traveling apparatus having axles in front and rear portions of a chassis frame body, an engine providing a traveling power, and a transmission. The transmission is provided with a transmission portion arranged so that an input shaft and an output shaft transverse an axis (X—X) in a vehicle longitudinal direction in parallel to each other at forward and backward positions of the axis and a bevel gear output portion outputting a tire wheel driving power to the output shaft toward a direction of the axis. The input shaft of the transmission portion is connected to the engine horizontally mounted to one side surface of right and left sides of the chassis frame body on the same axis as the engine output shaft and the bevel gear output portion is connected to front and rear tire wheel driving propeller shafts.

  • Publication number: 20020139597
    Abstract: A wheel type traveling and operating vehicle can reduce a height and a length in a longitudinal direction of a lower traveling body on which an engine is mounted, and can secure an improved operability and a traveling property. Accordingly, this vehicle is provided with a tire wheel traveling apparatus having axles (2, 3) in front and rear portions of a chassis frame body (1), an engine (11) providing a traveling power, and a transmission (12). The transmission is provided with a transmission portion arranged so that an input shaft (21) and an output shaft (23) transverse an axis (X-X) in a vehicle longitudinal direction in parallel to each other at forward and backward positions of the axis, and a bevel gear output portion (15) outputting a tire wheel driving power to the output shaft toward a direction of the axis.

  • Patent number: 5822892
    Abstract: The present invention is a working vehicle having high visibility and transportability and is capable of providing a large excavation force over a wide range. To this end, a working unit (30) is provided with a boom (31), which is divided into a first boom (31a) and a second boom (31b), and an arm (32), which is fixed to a front end portion of the second boom (31b). The first boom (31a) is free to be swung by a first boom hydraulic cylinder (36) and the second boom (31b) is free to be swung by a second boom hydraulic cylinder (37). One end portion of a first arm link (33a) is attached to a front end portion of the second boom (31b), and one end portion of a second arm link (33b) is attached to a rear end portion of the arm (32), with one end portion of an arm hydraulic cylinder (38) and the other end portions of the first arm link (33a) and the second arm link (33b) being connected together.
