Definitions
- This disclosure is directed towards a work tool lock extension configured to interlock with a work tool lock for securing the position of a work tool on a work machine.
- Work machines such as backhoe loaders, excavators, wheel loaders, bulldozers and the like, may comprise work tools, such as backhoes and excavators.
- the work tools may comprise one or more booms, arms or sticks to which at least one work implement, such as a bucket, digger and the like, is attached.
- the movement of the work tool is typically controlled using a hydraulic system.
- the work tool may be locked in a secure storage position to the main body using a work tool lock.
- the work tool lock prevents the work tool from falling out of the desired position under its own weight, which may happen in the case of a hydraulic fluid leak or other reduction in fluid pressure in the hydraulic system.
- the use of a work tool lock is often required under national regulations when the work machine is travelling on public roads.
- a boom is pivotally attached to the main body of a work machine.
- the boom may be secured to the main body using a work tool lock comprising a lock pin and a lock plate.
- One of the lock pin and lock plate is attached to the main body or boom and the other of the lock pin and lock plate is attached to the other of the main body and boom.
- the lock plate comprises a hook which may engage with the lock pin and thereby secure the boom to the main body.
- the lock plate is attached to the main body or boom about a pivot and an operation lever is attached to the lock plate. The operation lever is used to move the lock plate about the pivot, thereby engaging and disengaging the lock plate from the lock pin.
- a work tool In order to improve the stability of the work machine, a work tool will preferably be locked in a position wherein its centre of mass is as close to the main body of the work machine as possible. However, if the work tool is pivotally attached to the main body, this may result in the top of the work tool being raised to a considerable height from the ground. Different national regulations throughout the world set differing maximum heights for the top of the work machine and work tool.
- the work tool lock disclosed in US-A-2009-0107015 enables the boom to be secured in only one position and, therefore, the height of the top of the boom is fixed.
- the apparatus does not enable the height to be manually adjusted to meet differing national regulations.
- the size and design of work machines fitted with such a work tool lock must be adapted for each different regulatory height requirement.
- the disclosure provides a work tool lock extension configured to interlock with a work tool lock for securing a work tool on a work machine, the work tool lock comprising first and second complementary interlocking means; the work tool lock extension comprising at least one extension member having first and second engagement means, said first engagement means being configured to interlock with the second interlocking means of a work tool lock and said second engagement means being configured to interlock with the first interlocking means of a work tool lock, such that when inserted into a work tool lock the extension member separates the first and second interlocking means.
- the disclosure further provides a work machine comprising:- a work tool lock, said work tool lock comprising first and second complementary interlocking means; and a work tool lock extension as provided above; wherein the first engagement means of the work tool lock extension are configured to interlock with the second interlocking means and the second engagement means are configured to interlock with the first interlocking means, such that, when the work tool lock extension is inserted into the work tool lock, the extension member separates the first and second interlocking means.
- the present disclosure is directed towards a work tool lock extension for use on a work machine with a work tool lock for securing the work tool in a storage position.
- the work tool lock may comprise first and second interlocking means attached to a main body of the work machine and/or to a work tool for securing a work tool in a storage position.

- the work tool may comprise one or more booms, sticks, arms and/or work implements, each of which may be pivotally attached to another part of the work tool or to a main body of the work machine.
- the work implements may be of any type, examples of which include buckets, shovels, grapples, shears, saws, forks, augurs or material handling arms.
- the work tool may also be of any type, including, for example, backhoes, loaders, excavators, material handler front linkages and the like.
- Figure 7 illustrates two work tool lock extensions 34 in use securing a boom 14 in a storage position. Each of the work tool lock extensions 34 is interlocked with one of the first interlocking means 27, 28 of the work tool lock 26 and one of the second interlocking means 29, 30 of the work machine 10.
- Figure 8 illustrates the same arrangement, except a side plate 44 and fastener 38 on one of the work tool lock extensions 34 and a part of the boom 14 are not shown.
- the extension member 36 may initially be placed on the first interlocking means 27, 28 by inserting the first interlocking means 27, 28 into the recess 45.
- the connecting pin 35 may then be inserted through the openings 49, 50 and secured by the fasteners 37, 38 inserted through the through holes 39, 40.
- the first interlocking means 27, 28 are thereby interlocked with the second engagement means, and may not be able to be unlocked unless the connecting pin 35 is removed.
- the work tool 12 may then be moved into an upright position and the first engagement means 39 may be interlocked with the second interlocking means 29, 30 using either the handle 32 or the actuator 33.
- the first and second interlocking means 27, 28, 29, 30 are thereby separated by the extension member 36 and the work tool 12 is securely held in a storage position.
- the work tool lock extensions 34 increase the distance between the work tool 12 and the main body 13 of the work machine 10 when the work tool 12 is in the sstorage position. As a result, the height of the top of the work tool 12 is lower.
- Identically designed work machines 10 may therefore be designed regardless of differing national height regulations.
- Different sized work tool lock extensions 34 may be provided to adapt the height of the work tool 10 to suit the differing height regulations. This may enable the work machine 10 to be driven on roads anywhere in the world with the work tool 10 secured in the storage position.
- the work tool lock extensions 34 may be removed and stored for later use.
