Abstract
A stopper assembly for a machine. The machine includes an implement. The stopper assembly includes a mount and a stopper. The mount is configured to be coupled to the machine. The stopper is configured to be pivotally coupled to the mount. The stopper is configured to restrict a pivotal movement of the implement when the stopper abuts the machine.
Claims18
A stopper assembly for a machine, the machine comprising an implement, the stopper assembly comprising:
- a mount configured to be coupled to the machine;
- a stopper including an engagement structure pivotally coupled to the mount configured to be pivotally coupled to the mount, the stopper configured to restrict a pivotal movement of the implement when the stopper abuts the machine;
- wherein the mount includes an adjustment structure to adjust a distance between the engagement structure and the machine.
A stopper assembly for a machine, the machine comprising an implement configured to be pivotally coupled to a machine frame, the stopper assembly comprising:
- a mount configured to be coupled to one of the implement or the machine frame;
- a stopper having an engagement structure for pivotally coupling the stopper to the mount, the stopper configured to restrict a pivotal movement of the implement when the stopper abuts one of the implement or the machine frame;
- and
- an adjustment structure for adjusting a distance between the engagement structure and one of the implement and the machine frame to which the mount is coupled.
An implement assembly for a machine comprising:
- an implement configured to be pivotally coupled to a machine frame of the machine;
- a mount coupled to the implement;
- a stopper having an engagement structure for pivotally coupling the stopper to the mount, the stopper configured to restrict a pivotal movement of the implement when the stopper abuts the machine frame;
- and
- an adjustment structure for adjusting a distance between the engagement structure and the implement.
