Abstract
An attachment arrangement for holding together end portions of a plurality of leaf springs of a leaf-spring compound used in a release system for soil-working implements includes a coupling element, a clamping bolt, a stop element, and a supporting element. The coupling element supports the end portions of the plurality of leaf springs. The clamping bolt attaches the end portions of the plurality of leaf springs to the coupling element. The supporting element creates a clearance to an inner leaf spring. The supporting element is positioned at least partially over a cut-out provided in the plurality of leaf springs.
Claims19
An attachment arrangement comprising:
- a coupling element configured to support end portions of a plurality of leaf springs of a leaf spring compound used in a release system for soil working implements;
- a clamping bolt configured to attach the end portions of the plurality of leaf springs to the coupling element;
- a stop element;
- and
- a supporting element configured to create a clearance to an inner leaf spring,
- wherein the supporting element is positioned at least partially over a cut-out provided in the plurality of leaf springs, and
- wherein the stop element is a locking bolt configured to engage with one or more locking-bolt holes provided in the clamping bolt.
An attachment arrangement comprising:
- a coupling element configured to support end portions of a plurality of leaf springs of a leaf spring compound used in a release system for soil working implements;
- a clamping bolt configured to attach the end portions of the plurality of leaf springs to the coupling element;
- a stop element;
- and
- a supporting element configured to create a clearance to an inner leaf spring, wherein
- the supporting element is positioned at least partially over a cut-out provided in the plurality of leaf springs,
- the stop element is a nut, and a width of the cut-out is larger than a diameter of the supporting element, but smaller than a diameter of a projecting outer end portion of the supporting element, and the supporting element includes an internal threaded portion,
- the nut includes a projecting portion, an external threaded portion configured to engage with the internal threaded portion of the supporting element, an internal threaded portion and a coupling portion configured to engage with a tightening tool,
- the clamping bolt includes an engagement portion configured to releasably engage with the internal threaded portion of the nut, and
- the external threaded portion of the nut has a larger thread pitch than the internal threaded portion of the nut.
An attachment arrangement comprising:
- a coupling element configured to support end portions of a plurality of leaf springs of a leaf-spring compound used in a release system for soil-working implements;
- a clamping bolt configured to attach the end portions of the plurality of leaf springs to the coupling element;
- a stop element;
- and
- a supporting element configured to create a clearance to an inner leaf spring, wherein
- the supporting element is positioned at least partially over a cut-out provided in the plurality of leaf springs,
- the supporting element includes a securing device, and
- the securing device is a peg arranged in a projecting outer end portion of the supporting element and configured to engage with a portion of the cut-out, and wherein the cut-out includes a mouth in the end portions of the plurality of leaf springs.
An attachment arrangement comprising:
- a coupling element configured to support end portions of a plurality of leaf springs of a leaf-spring compound used in a release system for soil-working implements;
- a clamping bolt configured to attach the end portions of the plurality of leaf springs to the coupling element;
- a stop element;
- and
- a supporting element configured to create a clearance to an inner leaf spring, wherein
- the supporting element is positioned at least partially over a cut-out provided in the plurality of leaf springs,
- the supporting element includes a securing device, and
- the securing device is a spring pin arranged in a securing-device hole in the stop element.
