E01C 23/12

Abstract:

A milling machine includes a frame, a milling chamber, a rotor, an enclosed operator cab. The frame has a first lateral side and a second lateral side. The first lateral side corresponds to a flush cut side of the milling machine. The milling chamber is supported by the frame and extends beyond the first lateral side in a lateral direction of the milling machine. The rotor is positioned within the milling chamber to grind a work surface. The enclosed operator cabin is mounted on the frame, and includes a seat for an operator of the milling machine disposed inside the enclosed operator cabin, and a viewing window that is positioned laterally outside the first lateral side of the frame. The viewing window is configured to provide a direct line of sight of the milling chamber to the operator seated on the seat.

US Classification:

172817, 172830, 294261

Abstract:

An attachment assembly for use with a vehicle includes an arm support assembly and an attachment interface assembly pivotally mounted to the arm support assembly. The attachment interface assembly includes an interface plate configured to accept a work attachment. The attachment interface assembly and interface plate pivots under the influence of respective lift and tilt actuators. The attachment interface assembly is removable from the arm support assembly, and the actuators are pivotable into stowed positions, upon removing a pin that attaches the lift actuator piston rod to the attachment interface assembly, a pin that attaches the tilt actuator piston rod to the interface plate, and a pin that pivotally attaches the attachment interface assembly to the arm support assembly. The pins may be used to secure the actuators in the stowed positions, and an additional clip may be used to secure one or both of the actuators in the stowed position.
