Title: Ronald James Baker and His Work-vehicle Innovations.
Introduction
Ronald James Baker is an inventor associated with Horicon, Wisconsin, and Deere & Company. His patent work includes mechanisms and systems designed for vehicle access, operation, and performance. The supplied information lists 2 patents.
Latest Patents
Baker’s listed patents include a hood hinge mechanism and a work vehicle.
The hood hinge mechanism uses a D-shaped pivot pin positioned in a recess. When the hood is turned to a particular position, the pin’s shape aligns with a slotted opening, allowing the hood to be installed or removed. A bracket on the hood meets a support member when the hood is fully open, helping hold it in place and preventing unintended detachment unless an operator acts.
The work-vehicle patent describes a tractor with a one-piece frame and a range of integrated features. These include dual-screen filtering ahead of the radiator and engine air inlet, an implement lift system with main and auxiliary lift assists, and adjustable steering geometry. The design also covers a tilting steering wheel, controls for accurately neutralizing the hydrostatic transmission, and a bypass valve that allows the tractor to be pushed when the engine is not running. A seat-mounted switch is arranged to respond when the operator leaves the seat while remaining closed under a specified load.
