Hose Caddy for Powered Implements Mounted on Loaders

摘要

A hose caddy is pivotally mounted on a powered implement connected to the boom arms of a loader to control the positioning of hydraulic hoses or electrical wiring. The hose caddy is formed with an elongated retention member that provides for the detachable mounting of a first support member at the upper end and a second support member at the lower end. Each support member has a detachable hose clamp member for engaging the hoses and controlling the positioning of the hoses relative to the retention member. The retention member is pivotally connected to an implement mounting bracket by a pivot pin. A spring biasing mechanism mounts on the pivot pin to bias the pivotal movement of the implement mounting bracket toward the retention member. A bunk defacing apparatus is also disclosed to facilitate the operation of dislodging and collecting silage material from a compacted bunker of silage material.

主权项

1. A hose caddy for use in conjunction with a powered implement mounted on distal ends of forwardly projecting boom arms of a prime mover, said attachment having a powered component connected by conduits or wiring to said a corresponding source of power carried by said prime mover, comprising:
an elongated retention member having a lower pivot end and an upper distal end, said lower pivot end being pivotally connected by a pivot pin to said powered implement; a receiving member support on said upper distal end to engage said conduits or wiring; and a biasing mechanism operatively interconnecting said retention member and said powered implement to bias movement of the retention member toward said powered implement.
