Pothole Protection Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
6561546, May 13, 2003
Filed:
Jun 8, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/876069
Inventors:
Ignacy Puszkiewicz - Smithsburg MD
Muhammad Sannah - Greencastle PA
Louis A. Bafile - Mercersburg PA
Assignee:
JLG Industries, Inc. - McConnellsburg PA
International Classification:
B66C 2388
US Classification:
280755, 2807641, 212196, 212305
Abstract:
A pothole protection mechanism for a lift machine includes a frame that is securable to the lift machine, a pothole protection bar movably coupled with the frame via a support linkage, and an actuator coupled between the frame and the pothole protection bar. The actuator is sized for a force sufficient only to lift the pothole protection bar. The support linkage includes a coupling bar driven by the actuator that is connected between two pivot joints secured between the frame and the pothole protection bar. In the extended or deployed position, the pivot joints are pivoted to an over-center position and the coupling bar is abutted against a stop. As such, when a vehicle to which the pothole protection mechanism is attached falls into a pothole or off a curb or the like, the weight of the machine is supported by the pothole protection bar and support linkage and not by the actuator. In preferred forms, the pothole protection mechanism is without a mechanical linkage between platform lift and pothole protection mechanisms.

US Patent:
6571913, Jun 3, 2003
Filed:
Aug 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/922805
Inventors:
Ignacy Puszkiewicz - Smithsburg MD
Sudhir Menon - Frederick MD
Assignee:
JLG Industries, Inc. - McConnellsburg PA
International Classification:
E06C 100
US Classification:
182 691, 182 695, 414495
Abstract:
A multipurpose machine is provided with independently operable scissors lift functionality and fork lift functionality enabling the machine to perform a number of tasks such as moving personnel and tools, lifting loads, fetching parts, and easy access to equipment/material while working at heights. The machine includes a base, a platform lift mechanism defining a scissors lift secured to the base, and a platform supported by the scissors lift. A fork lifting mechanism secured to the base includes a mast assembly and lifting forks coupled with the mast assembly. The base is preferably fitted with wheels mounted on respective axles, one of which may be an oscillating axle to increase the mobility of the machine. The independent operability of a scissors lift and fork lifting mechanism in a single multipurpose machine provides versatility for numerous applications.

Four-Wheel Drive Assist For Electric Machines

View page
US Patent:
6892846, May 17, 2005
Filed:
Apr 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/275003
Inventors:
Lex A. Mellot - Warfordsburg PA, US
Ignacy Puszkiewicz - Smithsburg MD, US
Assignee:
JLG Industries, Inc. - McConnellsburg PA
International Classification:
B60K017/356
US Classification:
180243, 180197, 180 652, 180305, 180308
Abstract:
A four-wheel drive assist for electric machines includes an electric drive system for driving wheels at a non-steering end and a selectively operable hydraulic system for driving wheels at a steering end. A controller controls the operation of the drive system according to operator selection and/or by detecting slipping of the electric drive system. Preferably, at least one hydraulically driven operating arm, including boom functions, lift platform, etc. , is driven by the same hydraulic pump that drives the steering end hydraulic system. The machine thus is capable of effecting four-wheel drive when necessary, while operating as efficiently as a conventional two-wheel drive full electric machine when the four-wheel drive system is not engaged.

Measurement System And Method For Assessing Lift Vehicle Stability

View page
US Patent:
6991119, Jan 31, 2006
Filed:
Mar 18, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/098629
Inventors:
Ignacy Puszkiewicz - Smithsburg MD, US
Mohamed Yahiaoui - Hazard KY, US
Louis A. Bafile - Mercersburg PA, US
Assignee:
JLG Industries, Inc. - McConnellsburg PA
International Classification:
B66C 13/16
US Classification:
212277, 73767, 212261, 212270, 212278
Abstract:
A measurement system uses dual axis force sensor pins to effectively assess the tipping moment of a load-bearing vehicle and anticipate imminent tipping in any direction. The pins are installed in the pivot points of the boom of a lift vehicle and its main lift cylinder, substituting the standard structural pins presently used. For non-traditional boom support arrangements, one sensor pin for each moving part attachment to non-moving turntable is required. Each of the sensors provides the actual force components acting on the sensor in two perpendicular axes. The output signals are then utilized to assess vehicle stability and detect when the machine is approaching instability in order to warn the operator and/or restrict vehicle movements.

Platform Load Sensing For Vertical Lifts

View page
US Patent:
7493987, Feb 24, 2009
Filed:
Sep 9, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/236911
Inventors:
Ignacy Puszkiewicz - Smithsburg MD, US
Mohamed Yahiaoui - Hazard KY, US
Louis A. Bafile - Mercersburg PA, US
Eli Neuman - Caesarea, IL
Assignee:
JLG Industries, Inc. - McConnellsburg PA
International Classification:
B66F 11/00
US Classification:
182 695
Abstract:
A scissors lift includes a scissors arm assembly secured at one end to a base and coupled with a lift mechanism that expands and contracts the scissors arm assembly. A platform is supported at an opposite end of the scissors arm assembly via a plurality of load sensing pins that detect a vertical load on the platform. An interface module receives signals from the load sensing pins and communicates with the lift mechanism, wherein the interface module controls operation of lift functions and the lift mechanism according to the signals from the load sensing pins. Preferably, the load sensing pins are sized substantially the same as the conventional pins they replace. As a consequence, no redesign or additional structures are necessary to install the load sensing system and provide a safe operation of the scissors lift machine.

Panel Installation Apparatus And Method

Abstract:
A panel installation apparatus is cooperable with an aerial work platform of a lift vehicle for installation of panels on a surface. The apparatus includes a trolley movable on at least one rail supported by the aerial work platform between a displaced position spaced from the surface and engaged position adjacent the surface. The trolley is sized to support a panel to be installed. At least one mounting unit is fixed to the aerial work platform via a mounting unit frame and pivotable between a receiving position adjacent the trolley in the engaged position and an installing position adjacent the surface. The mounting unit includes at least one fixing unit selectively attachable to the panel. With the panel delivered to the mounting unit, the mounting unit can be pivoted and secured to the panel via the fixing unit, and the panel can be subsequently pivoted adjacent the surface for installation.

View page
US Patent:
7766596, Aug 3, 2010
Filed:
Mar 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
10/590993
Inventors:
Daniel Allen Smith - McConnellsburg PA, US
Korry D. Kobel - Atlanta GA, US
Ignacy Puszkiewicz - Smithsburg MD, US
Christopher A. Haught - McConnellsburg PA, US
Todd Bradley Wyant - McConnellsburg PA, US
Assignee:
JLG Industries, Inc. - McConnellsburg PA
International Classification:
E04G 21/14
B66C 23/00
US Classification:
414 11, 414627, 414620, 414736, 4147521, 4147444, 901 16, 901 40, 455420, 701 50, 294 65
Abstract:
An attachment for a telescopic material handler supplies five degrees of freedom (DOF) for the task of picking, manipulating and aiding in the installation of vertical and horizontal wall cladding and other construction materials. The cladding can be of a size up to 1. 3×8. 0 m and a mass of 350 kg. The control and positioning of the load is accomplished through standard operation of the telehandler in conjunction with wireless control of the five DOF of the device. Hydraulic power for the device functions may be supplied through the telehandler auxiliary circuit. The auxiliary flow also powers a hydraulic generator, which supplies the device with electrical power for both system logic and control and vacuum generation. The cladding panels are handled by the vacuum system.
