SAFETY LATCH FOR TRACTOR LOADER

摘要

77-FCED-132 APPLICATION OF: HOWARD A. HAMMOND AND JOHN F. SARDINA FOR: SAFETY LATCH FOR TRACTOR LOADER A safety latch mechanism for use with a tractor loader of the type including a pair of bucket supporting lift arms rigidly interconnected by a cross member. The latch mechanism includes a link pivoted at one end to the forward end of the loader frame and including a pin at its free end which coacts with a notch defined on the cross member to latchingly secure the cross member to the frame in response to upward movement of the lift arms about their pivot axis. The lift arm assembly is thus rigidly latched in a raised position to allow shop or field maintenance.
