Abstract
An agricultural harvesting machine includes an operator station. The operator station provides an operator console. An adjustable mount provides a swivel and tilt adjustment for an electronic display panel connected to the console. Adjustment is provided by an elongated member with a first end pivotably connected to the operator console. The elongated member is pivotable about a first axis. An ICDU is pivotably attached to the elongated member and is pivotable about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis.
Claims23
A control console comprising:
- a console base;
- at least one control member on the base;
- a first swivel member pivotably connected to the base, whereby the swivel member is pivotable about a first axis;
- a second tilt member connected to the swivel member;
- and
- an ICDU pivotably attached to the swivel member, whereby the ICDU is pivotable about a second axis, different from the first axis, and wherein the ICDU is pivotable with respect to the console base about both the first and the second axes.
An adjustable monitor comprising:
- an operator station;
- an operator control console adjacent to the operator station;
- an elongated member with a first end pivotably connected to the operator control console, whereby the elongated member is pivotable about a first axis;
- a distal end on the elongated member;
- and
- an ICDU pivotably attached to the distal end, whereby the ICDU is pivotable about a second axis, different from the first axis, and wherein the ICDU is pivotable with respect to the control console about both the first and the second axes.
A mounting system for an agricultural harvesting machine comprising:
- an agricultural harvesting machine chassis;
- an operator station on the chassis;
- an operator control console adjacent to the operator station;
- an elongated member with a first end pivotably connected to the operator control console, whereby the elongated member is pivotable about a first axis;
- a distal end on the elongated member;
- and
- an ICDU pivotably attached to the distal end, whereby the ICDU is pivotable about a second axis, different from the first axis, and wherein the ICDU is pivotable with respect to the control console about both the first and the second axes.
An adjustable mount for positioning an electronic display in a agricultural harvesting machine comprising:
- an agricultural harvesting machine chassis;
- an operator station on the chassis;
- an operator seat in the operator station;
- an operator control console adjacent to the operator seat;
- an elongated member with a first end pivotably connected to the operator seat, whereby the elongated member swivels about a first axis;
- a distal end on the elongated member;
- and
- an ICDU pivotably attached to the distal end, whereby the ICDU tilts about a second axis which is substantially orthogonal to the first axis, and wherein the ICDU is pivotable with respect to the operator seat about both the first and the second axes.
An agricultural harvesting machine comprising:
- an agricultural harvesting machine chassis;
- a means mounted on the chassis for feeding crop material into the agricultural harvesting machine;
- an operator station positioned on the chassis such that a range of visual scan is achieved from the operator station to the means for feeding crop material into the agricultural harvesting machine;
- an operator control console adjacent to the operator station;
- an elongated member with a first end pivotably connected to the operator control console, whereby the elongated member is pivotable about a first axis from a first position in the range of visual scan to a second position out of the range of visual scan;
- a distal end on the elongated member;
- and
- an ICDU pivotably attached to the distal end, whereby the ICDU is pivotable about a second axis which is substantially different from the first axis, and wherein the ICDU is pivotable with respect to the operator control console about both the first and the second axes.
