Integral 90 Degree Fitting Hydraulic Quick Coupler and Attachments and Work Machines Employing the Same

A work machine comprising:

• a quick coupler component secured to the work machine;
• a hydraulically driven attachment mounted on the work machine;
• a hydraulic hose providing hydraulic fluid to the hydraulically driven attachment;
• and
• a hydraulic quick coupler coupling the hydraulic hose to the quick coupler component secured to the work machine, the hydraulic quick coupler comprising:
• a cylindrical quick release coupler end portion configured to mate with the quick coupler component secured to the work machine to form a sealed hydraulic connection;
• a middle portion connected to the end portion and providing a fluid path to the end portion;
• an integral 90° elbow comprising a threaded end providing a threaded connection to the middle portion, a flare style coupler end for coupling to a fitting of the hydraulic hose, and a 90° bend section connected between the threaded end and the flare style coupler, the 90° bend section providing a fluid path between the threaded end and the flare style coupler and configured to redirect hydraulic fluid flow by 90° to reduce space required to route the hydraulic hose.
