Appl. No.:

13/530299

Inventors:

JONATHAN T. ROTH - Waverly IA, US
David J. Easton - Cedar Falls IA, US

Timothy W. Biederman - Osage IA, US

International Classification:

B60B 15/28

US Classification:

301 535

Abstract:

A wheel weight assembly mounts to a vehicle wheel disk section. The wheel weight assembly includes an annular starter weight mounted to the wheel disk section. The starter weight has mounting bores extending therethrough and centering taps projecting therefrom. The assembly also includes threaded members, nut members, an outer weight and attaching bolts. The starter weight includes a plurality of depressions. Each depression receives and prevents rotation of a nut member. Each threaded member extends through a corresponding one of the mounting bores and into a corresponding one of the nut members. The outer weight has attaching bores and centering recesses which receives the centering tabs. Each attaching bolt extends through a corresponding one of the attaching bores and is threadably received by a corresponding one of the nut members.

International Classification:

B60B 15/28

Abstract:

A wheel weight assembly with inner and outer weights, inner and outer fasteners, and anti-rotation plates. Inner fasteners can include inner and outer nuts, and a stud that extends through inner weight. Outer nuts can attach to studs and outer fasteners. Anti-rotation plates can fit over outer nuts in recesses of inner weight to prevent rotation of outer nuts. The weight assembly can also include intermediate weight and intermediate fasteners. Intermediate fasteners can include intermediate nuts and studs, where proximal end of stud attaches to inner fastener, and distal end of stud extends into recess of intermediate weight. Intermediate nuts can attach to distal ends of studs, and to outer fasteners. Anti-rotation plates fit over intermediate nuts in recesses of intermediate weight to prevent rotation of intermediate nuts. Anti-rotation plates and recesses can be pear-shaped. Cutouts in anti-rotation plates and intermediate nuts can be polygonal-shaped.

International Classification:

B62D 33/06
B60G 99/00

Abstract:

A cabin suspension arrangement for a utility vehicle, having a plurality of trailing arms that extend in a longitudinal direction, by which a driver's cabin is mounted and can pivoted relative to a vehicle frame. Two of the trailing arms are arranged spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction that extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction, are connected to one another by a torsion bar spring that extends in the transverse direction, and are arranged at the same height in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and to the transverse direction, thereby forming a first trailing arm pair. Two other trailing arms are arranged spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction, are arranged at the same height in the vertical direction, and thereby form a second trailing arm pair, which is spaced apart, in the vertical direction, from the first trailing arm pair.

B60C 23/04

Abstract:

A wheel assembly has a rim with an outer radial surface. A tire coupled to the rim defines a first interior region between the outer radial surface and the tire. A bladder coupled to the rim defines a second interior region between the outer radial surface and the bladder. A third interior region is defined between the bladder and the tire. The wheel assembly includes a valve fluidly coupled to the second interior region and the third interior region. The valve is movable between a first position and a second position. The second interior region and the third interior region are fluidly isolated from one another when the valve is in the first position. The second interior region and the third interior region may be fluidly coupled to one another when the valve is in the second position.

Abstract:

A draft sensing mechanism for a three point hitch includes a hitch frame attached to a frame of a vehicle. The hitch frame includes left and right link supports for coupling to left and right draft links and left and right draft bars. Each draft bar has a first portion attached to a corresponding one of the link supports, and a second portion positioned rearwardly and inwardly with respect to its first portion. Draft forces applied by the draft links to the link supports are transmitted to the second portions of the draft bars. A linkage unit sums the draft forces from the draft bars and includes a draft force transducer which generates a draft force signal in response to deflection of the draft bars.

International Classification:

B60C 17/06

US Classification:

152158

Abstract:

A tire assembly includes a wheel rim, a tire mounted on the rim and a foam insert which only partially fills an annular volume enclosed by the tire and rim. The foam insert displaces air within the annular volume. The insert is not bonded to the tire. The insert maintains its shape and its mass distribution within the tire.
