A device to actuate a contamination cover on a machine bracket, the device comprising a master cylinder positioned on the machine bracket; a first slave cylinder positioned on the machine bracket and connected to the contamination cover; and a closed master-slave circuit connecting the master cylinder to the slave cylinder wherein the actuation of the master cylinder drives the slave cylinder for the transition of the contamination cover from a close to an open position.

Device to actuate a fluid connector contamination cover

A device to actuate a contamination cover on a machine bracket is disclosed. The device may include a first transition cylinder mounted on the machine bracket and connected to the contamination cover, a transition circuit connected to the first transition cylinder for transmission of hydraulic pressure to the first transition cylinder; and a transition sensor coupled to the transition circuit to control the transmission of hydraulic pressure to the first transition cylinder. The activation of the transition sensor may permit the transmission of hydraulic pressure to drive the first transition cylinder for transition of the contamination cover from a close to an open position.

Device to actuate a fluidconnector contamination cover

A coupling arrangement for fluid coupling a work tool to a machine comprising a plurality of coupler assemblies slideably mounted in a plurality of corresponding cavities for coupling a machine fluid circuit and a work tool fluid circuit, the coupler assembles partitioning the cavities to form chambers; and a rail circuit connecting the chambers.

Coupling arrangement

A coupling arrangement for fluid coupling a worktool to a machine comprising at least one coupler assembly slideably mounted in a cavity for coupling a machine fluid circuit and a work tool fluid circuit, the coupler assembly partitioning the cavity to form a chamber; a diversion path connecting the machine fluid circuit to the chamber; and a check valve positioned in the diversion path for flow of fluid from the machine fluid circuit to the chamber to generate a force on the coupler assembly for maintaining the fluid coupling.
