INTEGRAL POWER OR ELECTRICAL CONDUIT COUPLER

摘要

A conduit connector assembly (34) for attachments (26) on a loader (10) includes a mounting plate (36) with at least one coupler section (38, 40, 42, 74) mounted on the plate (36) and secured rigidly to a forward end of one of the lift arms (18) of a loader (10). The coupler section or sections (38, 40, 42, 74) are connected with conduits (33, 40, 42, 74) to power (62) or electrical signal sources (77) on the loader (10). The coupler section or sections (38B, 40B, 42B, 74B) on the lift arm (18) are connectable to mating coupler sections attached to conduits from an attachment (26) that requires power and / or control signals for operation. The coupler sections (38, 40, 42, 74) are supported to one side of the lines of vision (61) that an operator in an operator's cab (30) of the loader (10) needs for watching the attachment (26).
