发明名称 Movable attachment for a zero turning radius prime mover
摘要 An attachment adapted to be coupled with a zero turning radius prime mover is provided. This attachment includes a tongue adapted to be received by the zero turning radius prime mover, a mounting tab coupled with the tongue, and an implement coupled with the tongue. A first electric cylinder coupled with the prime mover is also coupled with the mounting tab and is able to move the tongue and implement up and down. This first cylinder also provides a downward force on the tongue and implement when it is in a lowered position. Still further, a second electric cylinder is coupled with the tongue for moving the implement from side to side or up and down. The implement may be any useful attachment such as a blade, a bucket, or a broom. In the preferred embodiment, the tab is comprised of a first bracket member rigidly coupled with the tongue and a second bracket member coupled with the first bracket member. The first electric cylinder is coupled with the second bracket member. When the second member is pivotally coupled with the first member, the implement is free to float a limited amount relative to the prime mover, and when the first bracket member is fixedly coupled with the second member, the implement is held in a rigid position relative to the prime mover.
