Patent number: 12151633Abstract: A work vehicle of the present invention includes a connection mechanism connecting ends of a first pipe and the second pipe. The connection mechanism includes a plate-shaped first joint member provided at the end of the first pipe, a plate-shaped second joint member provided at the end of the second pipe, and a coupling bolt coupling the first joint member and the second joint member to each other. The first joint member and the second joint member each have a coupling hole into which the coupling bolt is insertable, at a position exposed from the corresponding first or second pipe, and the first joint member and the second joint member are coupled to each other by the coupling bolt passed through the coupling holes while the plate surfaces of the first joint member and the second joint member overlap each other.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2023Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Kubota CorporationInventors: Yuki Monde, Kohta Nakao

Patent number: 12151553Abstract: In a utility vehicle, a differential mechanism is provided with a cylindrical portion and a connection portion, respectively on a first end portion and a second end portion of the differential mechanism in a front-rear direction of a body of the utility vehicle. A vehicle fame is provided with a first holder for allowing the vehicle frame to hold the cylindrical portion and a second holder for allowing the vehicle frame to hold the connection portion. The first holder has a through hole receiving the cylindrical portion and is configured to lock the cylindrical portion by the through hole. The second holder includes a first attachment piece and a second attachment piece. The second holder is configured to, with the connection portion between the first and second attachment pieces, connect the connection portion to the first and second attachment pieces by a connection bolt extending in a vehicle width direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2024Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Kubota CorporationInventors: Toshifumi Yasuda, Yuki Monde, Hiroyuki Suzuki, Akihiro Takami
