A modular system for connecting attachments to the extension arm of a construction machine, wherein each module has a standardized coupling arrangement. As a result, each module is compatible with another module to provide great versatility in configuring the machine. Additionally, the system includes a variety of different modules and a mechanism for remotely activating the coupling between modules.

Modular system for connecting attachments to a construction machine

A multiple tool attachment system () for demolition equipment includes an adapter () and a universal body () coupled to the adapter with a pair of pivotable jaws () pivotally attached to the universal body. Each of the jaws includes a tool carrier for mounting one of a selective set of tool attachments. Each tool attachment forms a distinct tool for the system. The tools can include, but are not limited to a cracker, a pulverizer, a wood shear, an iron/rail cracker and a grapple.

A tip for demolition and construction equipment has a discrete base with at least one recess therein to accept a replaceable insert. The insert has a projection that fits within a mating socket within the base. A threaded bolt may extend through a common bore within the insert and base to secure the insert to the base. The tip may also include a second opposing insert which is held within a respective recess by a common bolt.

A regeneration manifold for a hydraulic system used with a tool attachment on construction and demolition equipment redirects fluid from a reservoir back to the extension chamber to extend the cylinder at a much higher rate when the tool attachment is under little or no load.

A surgical clip having first and second separate pieces for ligating a vessel therebetween, an applicator for applying the clip to the vessel, and a method of use thereof. The surgical clip comprises a first tube having a longitudinal slot formed through the outer wall thereof and communicating with a passage extending therethrough for receiving a second tube into the passage of the first tube and circumferentially ligating a vessel positioned in a second channel transverse to and communicating with the first passage. Tangs or projections extend from the outer wall of the first tube about the longitudinal slot thereof and into the passage of the first tube for engaging the walls about a slot in the second tube and securably positioning the second tube in the passage of the first tube. An applicator includes a main housing having a vessel channel for positioning the first tube therein. The vessel channel also includes vessel access openings for transversely positioning a vessel through openings in the first tube outer wall. An insertion mechanism carrying a plurality of second piece tubes slides over the inserted vessel and first tube and securably positions a second tube in the passage of the first piece tube for circumferentially ligating the vessel positioned therebetween.
