In accordance with an example embodiment a clamping device comprising a first clamping device frame element coupled with a portion of a work tool coupled with the utility vehicle, a second clamping device frame element pivotally coupled with the first clamping device frame element, where the second clamping device frame element includes a first section and a second section, where the first section and the second section are positioned at an angle of approximately 90 degrees relative to each other, and a first movement actuator that movably couples the first clamping device frame element and the second clamping device frame element.

Material handling apparatus for a utility vehicle

A convertible carriage is provided. The convertible carriage includes a carriage frame, a support arrangement, a shaft, and a retaining arrangement. The support arrangement includes an elongate slot and is positioned on the carriage frame. The shaft may carry a tine and is moveable along the elongate slot at least in a vertical dimension. The retaining arrangement may selectively engage with the elongate slot. When the retaining arrangement is engaged with the elongate slot, a movement of the shaft is limited by the retaining arrangement with a boundary defined at least by the retaining arrangement. When the retaining arrangement is removed from the elongate slot, the shaft is allowed to float in the elongate slot.

A coupler for a work machine that has a first coupler hook pin defined along a hook pin axis, a first coupler engaging pin defined along a first axis, a second coupler engaging pin defined along a second axis, the second axis being different from the first axis. Wherein, the first coupler engaging pin is coupleable to a first device and the second coupler engaging pin is coupleable to a second device.

A work machine comprising a frame and a ground-engaging mechanism, the ground-engaging mechanism configured to support the frame on a surface, a boom assembly coupled to the frame, the boom assembly having a pair of boom arms pivotally coupled to the frame and moveable relative to the frame by a pair of boom hydraulic cylinders, an attachment coupler coupled to a distal section of the boom arms, and an attachment. The attachment comprises a work tool. The work tool is coupled to the C-frame. A pair of first C-frame sections are pivotally coupled to the frame of the work machine, and a second C-frame section is pivotally coupled to the attachment coupler, wherein actuating the pair of boom hydraulic cylinders engages the boom arms, pitching the attachment upwards or downwards.

A quick coupler primary lock arrangement includes a fore-and-aft guided wedge arrangement carried by a cross shaft and is biased forwardly to a lock position by a first spring arrangement, and includes a secondary lock arrangement includes a locking pawl arrangement pivotally mounted to the cross shaft and biased, by a second spring arrangement, to a secondary lock position wherein the pawl arrangement includes a surface disposed in a confronting locking disposition relative to an abutment surface of a fixed plate of the coupler to thereby prevent rearward movement of the wedge arrangement from the lock position. A normally depressurized hydraulic cylinder is coupled to the pawl arrangement and when selectively pressurized overcomes spring biasing forces and pivots the pawl arrangement from the secondary locking position and then shifts the wedge arrangement rearward to a coupler release position. An electro-hydraulic control arrangement prevents unintentional operation of the hydraulic cylinder.

Bucket teeth having a metallurgically bonded wear-resistant coating and methods for forming the coated bucket teeth are disclosed. The bodies of the bucket teeth have a hard metal alloy slurry disposed on a surface and then are fused to form a metallurgical bond with the iron-based alloy. The wear-resistant coating can be formed of a fused, metal alloy comprising at least 60% iron, cobalt, nickel, or alloys thereof. The portion of the outer surface of the bucket teeth having the wear-resistant coating corresponds to a wear surface of the bucket teeth during operation.

The present invention provides a unitary moisture-absorbing and element-protective article that includes a poncho-shaped sheet and hood nondetachably connected to the sheet. The poncho-shaped sheet includes at least one layer, and has an opening that permits the head and neck of the person wearing the article to extend therethrough. The sheet is drapable over the wearer in a standing position, and rests on the shoulders. The hood is shaped to cover the head, neck and hair of the person when positioned thereon. When not worn, an important attribute of the article is that it may be opened to a flat covering that, when disposed upon the surface of the ground, is suitable for a person to recline thereon. The invention further provides methods of removing water from the head, neck, body, and/or the hair of a person, of shielding the body of a person from exposure to the elements, and of preventing direct contact of the body of a person with a surface of the ground that includes disposing the article of the invention on the surface.
