International Classification:

F16L 3/00

US Classification:

248 62

Abstract:

An interface adaptor connector for effectively connecting one end of a seismic sway brace or restraint pipe, which is fixedly connected to, for example, a water pipe of a building sprinkler system, to a suitable support anchor which is adapted to be fixedly connected to an overhead ceiling or structural beam member of a building within which a sprinkler system has been installed.

Filed:

Mar 16, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/277750

Inventors:

Robert L. Fischer - New Lenox IL

Assignee:

Caterpillar Tractor Co. - Peoria IL

International Classification:

B23Q 1700
E02F 314

US Classification:

74813L

Abstract:

A lock pin assembly (42) is movable axially to engage an opening (96,98,100) in a pin receiving portion (94) of an indexable apparatus (10). The apparatus (10) includes a first member (34) which carries the pin receiving portion (94) and a second member (36) which carries the lock pin assembly (42). The first and second members (34,36) are movable, one with respect to the other, and the lock pin assembly (42) serves to lock the members (34,36) against movement. The lock pin assembly (42) is secured to a moving means (44) which moves the pin assembly (42) into and out of engagement with the pin receiving portion (94). The first and second members (34,36) are subjected to severe loading and vibrations which attempt to move the first member (34) with respect to the second member (36). The lock pin assembly (42) resists the loading and vibrations and isolates the moving means (44) from bending loads imposed upon the pin assembly (42).

Appl. No.:

6/245229

Inventors:

Robert L. Fischer - New Lenox IL

Assignee:

Caterpillar Tractor Co. - Peoria IL

International Classification:

A01B 1520

US Classification:

299 37

Abstract:

A pivotal lock member (27) is secured to an earthworking apparatus (10) and a plurality of lock stations (28,29,30) are connected to a mounting assembly (21) which supports the earthworking apparatus (10) for rotation. The apparatus (10) can be rotated to a plurailty of angular positions and must be held against rotation in each position. The lock member (27) pivots in and out of engagement with the lock stations (28,29,30) to allow rotation or locking of the earthworking apparatus (10). The lock assembly (26) holds the earthworking apparatus (10) securely against rotary motion but allows some limited radial motion of the apparatus in a plane co-incident with a line of axial force generated by the operation of the earthworking tool (19).

Assignee:

Caterpillar Tractor Co. - Peoria IL

International Classification:

A01B 63118
A01B 1308
E02F 530

US Classification:

172382

Abstract:

A ripper assembly (10) includes at least two ripper members (16,18) mounted in tandem relationship and adapted for connection to a vehicle (14). A linkage assembly (20) interconnects the ripper members. A hydraulic cylinder (44) is operable to raise and lower the linkage assembly (20) so that the leading ripper member (16) penetrates the ground first and thereafter the trailing ripper member (18) penetrates the ground, vertically below the leading ripper member. The ripper assembly insures efficient ground penetration and a self-cleaning function in comparison with conventional rippers of the multiple-tooth type.
