PIVOTING IMPLEMENTS AND ADJUSTMENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR EARTH MOVING OR MATERIALS HANDLING MACHINES

摘要

An implement pivots with respect to an earth moving or materials handling machine to which the implement is attached. The implement may be a bucket adapted to pivot laterally with respect to an excavator or other machine to which the bucket is attached. An adjustment arrangement includes a linear actuator which operates along a substantially fixed axis to drive the pivoting movement. The linear actuator may drive a rack which engages with a pinion to cause pivoting movement.
