US Patent:

7614843, Nov 10, 2009
Filed:

Jan 5, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/650376
Inventors:

Larry D. Hested - Geneva IL, US
Timothy G. Sidles - Oswego IL, US
Brian Marstall - Chesterfield MO, US
Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:

B66C 1/10
US Classification:

414739, 414729, 294 864, 294104, 37468
Abstract:

A machine includes a chassis and a boom assembly. The boom assembly is movable relative to the chassis. The machine further includes a grapple assembly suspended from the boom assembly. The grapple assembly comprises a grapple head fluidly connected to a first hydraulic circuit for actuating the grapple head to a grasping configuration, and a hydraulic motor fluidly connected to a second hydraulic circuit for rotating the grapple head. The second hydraulic circuit includes a bypass valve. The bypass valve has a first position configured to block a fluid flow between a first port of the hydraulic motor and a second port of the hydraulic motor. The bypass valve also has a second position configured to allow a fluid flow between the first port of the hydraulic motor and the second port of the hydraulic motor. The bypass valve allows the grapple head to rotate freely when the grapple head is in a grasping configuration.

US Patent:

20160221618, Aug 4, 2016
Filed:

Feb 2, 2015
Appl. No.:

14/611631
Inventors:

- Peoria IL, US
Timothy Gibbs Sidles - Oswego IL, US
Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:

B62D 55/08
G01N 3/56
B62D 55/14
Abstract:

A wear sensing device is disclosed. The wear sensing device may be used in conjunction with a carrier roller assembly of a track assembly. The wear sensing device may have a wear sensor roller mounted to an axle of the carrier roller assembly. The sensor roller may be configured to contact a track pin assembly connected to one or more track links of the track assembly. The wear sensing device may further have a wear sensor mounted to the wear sensor roller and configured to generate a signal indicative of a wear parameter of the one or more track links.

US Patent:

20160178483, Jun 23, 2016
Filed:

Dec 19, 2014
Appl. No.:

14/576806
Inventors:

- Peoria IL, US
Timothy Gibbs Sidles - Oswego IL, US
Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:

G01M 17/03
Abstract:

A wear sensing device is disclosed. The wear sensing device may have a wear sensor. The wear sensor may have plurality of wear members, a communication device, and a processing device. The processing device may be configured to generate a signal indicative of wear, based on a state of the plurality of wear members. The processing device may be further configured transmit the signal with the communication device. The wear sensing device may further have a housing. The housing may at least partially enclose the wear sensor and include a plurality of separate slots. The plurality of wear members may be positioned in the plurality of separate slots.

US Patent:

20150330827, Nov 19, 2015
Filed:

Jul 30, 2015
Appl. No.:

14/813151
Inventors:

- Peoria IL, US
Timothy G. Sidles - Oswego IL, US
Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:

G01F 23/34
Abstract:

A level sensor assembly is provided. The level sensor assembly includes a first housing and a second housing. The first and second housings are coupled to define an internal chamber therewithin. The level sensor assembly includes an arm carrier assembly coupled to a first surface of the first housing. The level sensor assembly further includes a contact carrier assembly having a main body unit extending vertically within the internal chamber. The level sensor assembly includes a coupling mechanism provided at an interface of the arm carrier assembly and the contact carrier assembly. The contact carrier assembly also includes a resistor card element coupled to the second housing.
