Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A manual control device which pemiits adjusting with [30] Forelgn Application Pnonty Data precision the raising mechanism of farm tractor imple- Dec. 18, 1969 France ..6943919 mems, comprising two braked control r namely an approach control member and an adjust- 52] us. (:1 ..74/479, 74/522 'comrol member, each control member being 51 lm. Cl.
  • the present invention relates to a manual control device adapted to adjust the tractive effort regulating system of an implement raising mechanism, notably on farming tractors.
  • tractors and other handling equipment comprise hydraulic means for raising implements which incorporates or has associated therewith a tractive effort regulator.
  • This regulator is responsive to the variations in the reaction exerted by the ground on the implement being operated, by raising and lowering same in order to maintain a substantially constant tractive effort.
  • Raising mechanisms are already known wherein the angular stroke of a rotary shaft is utilized for actuating the tractive effort adjustment system. Now in many instances a direct control of this shaft by means of a manual lever is extremely inaccurate in that it is not capable of maintaining at a strict value the working depth of the implement.
  • This manual control device comprising two control members having pivot means interconnected by a lever, is characterized essentially in that said lever interconnecting pivot pins each rigid with one of the two brake control members comprises three aligned pivot points of which the two end ones are rigid with a link pivoted on each one of said two control members, respectively, the central point having pivotally mounted thereon an operating arm rigid with the rotary shaft to be positioned.
  • control shaft can be actuated by means of the two members consisting of the approach or coarse positioning lever which the driver can quickly position in what he considers to be the most favorable zone, and an adjustment lever having its movement stepped-down, this adjustment lever being adapted to be actuated from the position in which the approach lever was previously set.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of the device
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the same device with a fragmentary section taken along the line II-II of FIG. 1, the shaft being partially removed;
  • FIG. 3 is a diagram corresponding to the mechanism of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is the modified diagram of the mechanism obtained from the construction of FIG. 3, after actuating and setting the approach lever, and
  • FIG. 5 is a modified diagram of the mechanism obtained from the construction of FIG. 3, after actuating the adjustment lever.
  • the rotary shaft 1 to be positioned carries at its knurled end a bent lever arm 2 rigid with said shaft, due to the provision of a screw 3 interconnecting the two knurled arms 4, 4a of said arm, in order to clamp them against the corresponding knurled surface of shaft 1.
  • the arm 2 carries at its end a pivot such as a pin 5 having fulcrumed thereon a lever 6 provided at either end with ball joints i.e. a lower ball joint 7 and an upper ball joint 8, providing two other pivot points.
  • a pivot such as a pin 5 having fulcrumed thereon a lever 6 provided at either end with ball joints i.e. a lower ball joint 7 and an upper ball joint 8, providing two other pivot points.
  • a link 9 having one end rigid with the lower ball joint 7 connects the latter to a control member referred to hereinafter as the adjustment lever 10 which comprises a ball joint 11 engaging the opposite end of link 9.
  • lever 6 is rigid with another link 12 connected through a pivot pin 13 to another control member 14 referred to herein as the approach lever.
  • a pair of studs 15 rigid with the case 16 carry two sets of clamping flanges 17 separated from each other by friction disks 18 between which the central portions of control members 10 and 14 are disposed.
  • a pair of prestressed compression-springs 19 are disposed concentiically on said studs 15 and urge said sets of flanges 17 away from each other. The function of these springs is to brake the levers 10 and 14 by means of friction disks 18.
  • the face 20 of case 16 and the adjacent first flange l7 constitute reaction surfaces permitting the simultaneous clamping of levers 10 and 14 urged by said springs 19.
  • the flanges 17 are force fitted on sockets 21 centered on a protection tube 22 surrounding the shaft 1.
  • This device operates as follows:
  • a device for controlling a rotatable shaft comprising a rotatable shaft having a control arm rigidly attached to and extending generally radially from said shaft;
  • control members are mounted on axially diiferent sides of said control arm.
  • said means for braking the rotation of said control members comprises friction discs and resilient means biasing said discs against said control members.
