Pendulum boom suspension

A suspended boom frame, comprising:

• a pair of boom arms that, in conjunction with the suspended boom frame, form a suspended portion;
• a suspended coupling that operably, pivotably couples with a fixed coupling on a fixed frame of a boom sprayer, the suspended coupling disposed centrally above a center of gravity of the suspended portion;
• a pair of connecting links respectively, operably disposed at opposing bottom corners of the suspended boom frame, the respective connecting links extending forward to operably couple with the fixed frame at opposing sides to control yaw pivot and/or pitch pivot of the suspended frame;
• and
• a pair of dampers respectively, operably extending inward toward a central bottom of the fixed frame, and operably coupled with the fixed frame to dampen roll pivot of the suspended frame.

A frame system for a boom sprayer, comprising:

• a fixed central frame operably connected to a boom sprayer vehicle;
• a suspended frame, operably connected to a pair of boom sprayer wings on either side to form a suspended portion, the suspended frame comprising a pivot point disposed above a center of gravity of the suspended portion;
• a suspended coupler fixedly engaged with the suspended frame at the pivot point, the suspended coupler comprising a bearing operably, pivotably engaged with the fixed central frame to allow the suspended frame to pivot in yaw, roll, and pitch axes with respect to the fixed central frame;
• a pair of connecting links respectively coupled with the suspended frame at opposing bottom corners and extending forward and coupled with the fixed frame to control yaw pivot and/or pitch pivot of the suspended frame;
• and
• a pair of dampers respectively coupled between the suspended frame and a central bottom portion of the fixed frame to control roll pivot of the suspended frame.
