Drive Tumbler And Track Drive For Mobile Vehicles, Including Lift Cranes

View page
US Patent:
8075069, Dec 13, 2011
Filed:
Feb 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/368143
Inventors:

Assignee:
Manitowoc Crane Companies, LLC - Manitowoc WI
International Classification:
B62D 55/12
US Classification:
305195, 305199
Abstract:
A combination of a drive tumbler and a track includes a track made of a plurality of connected track shoes and a plurality of driven surfaces. The track is wrapped around the drive tumbler so that a plurality of the shoes are in contact with the drive tumbler. The drive tumbler has a plurality of drive surfaces and a circumferential rim surface that includes a plurality of shoe contact surfaces that each contact the inside surface of one of the track shoes that are in contact with the tumbler. The shoe contact surface has a shape such that a line normal to the tangent of the shoe contact surface does not pass through the axis of rotation of the drive tumbler, thereby allowing the shoe contact surfaces on the rim of the drive tumbler to transmit a tractive force to the track. A preferred drive tumbler comprises a center hub and a plurality of individual tooth members connected to the center hub by welds.

Track Connection System For Mobile Vehicles, Including Lift Cranes

US Patent:
8104846, Jan 31, 2012
Filed:
Feb 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/368125
Inventors:
Kenneth J. Porubcansky - Whitelaw WI, US

B62D 55/32
B62D 55/30
US Classification:
305145, 305155, 305182, 305 60
Abstract:
A crawler has a track connection system. The crawler includes a crawler frame; at least one drive tumbler supported on the frame; a track made of a plurality of track shoes connected in series to produce a track having a first end and second end that can be connected together to form the track into an endless track. The track is wrapped around the frame, with the first and second ends spaced apart but each adjacent a section of the frame. The track connection system is mounted to the frame and includes a mover device connected to the frame; and a track engagement member coupled between the mover device and the track; iii) whereby actuation of the mover device causes the track engagement member to move the track into a position where the first and second ends can be connected.

US Patent:
20040108292, Jun 10, 2004
Filed:
Dec 6, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/313266
Inventors:
Harley Smith - Sheboygan WI, US
Joel Zick - Manitowoc WI, US
International Classification:
B66C013/18
US Classification:
212/281000
Abstract:
A crawler vehicle having a lower works comprising a carbody and a pair of crawler assemblies. Each of the crawler assemblies are removably connected to the carbody by a plurality of carbody to crawler connections. The carbody to crawler connection each comprise at least one keyway for aligning the connection components of the crawler assembly with the connection components of the carbody, and for preventing these connection components from becoming misaligned in response to eccentric forces or deflections generated between the carbody and each of the crawler assemblies.

Lift Crane With Improved Movable Counterweight

View page
US Patent:
20210009386, Jan 14, 2021
Filed:
Apr 10, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/845837
Inventors:
- Manitowoc WI, US
Joseph R. Rucinski - Manitowoc WI, US
Joel D. Zick - Manitowoc WI, US
Bronson E. Foust - Manitowoc WI, US
Charles E. Wernecke - Manitowoc WI, US
Assignee:
Manitowoc Crane Companies, LLC - Manitowoc WI
International Classification:
B66C 23/76
Abstract:
A lift crane includes a carbody and movable ground engaging members mounted on the carbody. A rotating bed is rotatably connected to the carbody and includes a counterweight support frame including a rack coupled directly to a lower surface of the rotating bed. A boom is pivotally mounted to the rotating bed. A counterweight unit includes a trolley, the counterweight unit being in a movable relationship with respect to the rotating bed. A counterweight unit movement device is configured to move the counterweight unit toward and away from the boom. Other embodiments include a counterweight support beam movably connected to the rotating bed, the counterweight support beam including another rack coupled to a lower surface of the counterweight support beam. A counterweight support beam movement device is connected between the counterweight support beam and the counterweight support frame.

Fast Acting Compressible Stop

US Patent:
20190352149, Nov 21, 2019
Filed:
Jun 26, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/453728
Inventors:
- Manitowoc WI, US
Jonathan Michael Borlee - Green Bay WI, US
Joel David Zick - Newton WI, US
Timothy James Albinger - Manitowoc WI, US
Assignee:
Manitowoc Crane Companies, LLC - Manitowoc WI
International Classification:
B66C 23/92
F16F 9/06
Abstract:
A compressible stop for use in a crane has a housing, a rod slidably mounted within the housing, a floating piston, and a valve assembly. The floating piston divides the housing into a gas portion biasing the floating piston towards an end of the housing and a liquid portion containing a hydraulic fluid. The valve assembly divides the liquid portion into a support portion and a reserve portion. The valve assembly includes a check valve allowing a liquid to flow from the reserve portion into the support portion, a pressure sensitive valve inhibiting the liquid from flowing from the support portion into the reserve portion unless the pressure is above a threshold pressure, and a frangible divider configured to rupture when the liquid pressure exceeds a rupture pressure.
