Portable concrete molding machine

摘要

An adjustable mounting assembly (80) for a machine, such as a portable concrete molding machine (10), has a plurality of base plates (81), each base plate (81) having a plurality of holes and/or slots (82) therethrough arranged in a pattern to enable a number of different motors/engines (50, 150) to be mounted thereon. Each base plate (81) has a hinge assembly (83) along one side, which releasably receives a hinge pin (84) releasably engagable in support member(s) on the machine (10) to allow quick interchange of different motors/engines (50, 150), each with a respective base plate (81). An adjusting stud (89) on the opposite side enables adjustable inclination of the base plate (81) relative to the machine (10), to so enable a flexible drive assembly (52), interconnecting the motor/engine (50, 150) fitted to the machine (10), and the input shaft (53) on the machine (10), to be selectively tensioned when a motor/engine (50, 150) is fitted to the machine (10) (or to be de-tensioned for a motor/engine (50, 150) interchange.)

主权项

1. A machine comprising:
one or more support members; a mounting assembly coupled to the one or more support members, the mounting assembly for mounting a plurality of different types of motors to the machine, the mounting assembly comprising: a substantially planar base plate, having a plurality of slotted holes therethrough, the slotted holes being arranged in a pattern for mounting a first motor of the plurality of different motors to the base plate, and for also mounting a second motor different from the first motor of the plurality of different motors to the base plate; a hinge assembly extending along a first side of the base plate; at least one hinge pin releasably and hingedly coupling the hinge assembly and the base plate with at least one of the one or more support members of the machine; and at least one adjustment member at, or adjacent, a second side of the base plate opposite the first side and operable to pivotally adjust an angular position of the base plate about the hinge pin relative to the one or more support members.
