Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a mechanical connection device between a motorized vehicle and working equipment. According to the present disclosure, the device includes a rigid plate mounted by means of axles in the tow rings of the vehicle and bearing adjustable skids that are applied against a transverse surface of the vehicle, such as to abutt the connection device to the vehicle, thereby securing the same.
Claims20
A mechanical connection device to connect a motorized vehicle and a working equipment, said mechanical connection device comprising:
- a rigid plate defining a plane having a first side for facing the motorized vehicle when mounted to the motorized vehicle and a second side and is sized and shaped to rest between two towing rings located on the motorized vehicle;
- bosses formed on the rigid plate and positioned on the rigid plate such that the two bosses align with the two towing rings when mounted to the motorized vehicle;
- a plurality of spaced apart abutment skids attached to the rigid plate on the first side of the rigid plate to abut a surface of the motorized vehicle when mounted;
- and
- wherein each abutment skid has a movable plate having a first surface and a second surface that faces the rigid plate, the movable plate is mechanically adjustable so that the second surface of the movable plate can move closer to or further away from the first surface of the rigid plate.
A mechanical connection device configured to connect a working equipment to a motorized vehicle, said device comprising:
- a rigid plate defining a plane having a first side for facing the motorized vehicle when mounted and a second side and is sized and shaped to rest between two towing rings located on the motorized vehicle;
- anchor points formed on the rigid plate for mechanically coupling the working equipment to the rigid plate;
- a plurality of spaced apart abutment skids mechanically connected to the rigid plate on the first side of the rigid plate to abut a surface of the motorized vehicle when mounted;
- and
- wherein each abutment skid has a movable plate having a first surface and a second surface that faces the rigid plate, the movable plate being mechanically adjustable so that the second surface of the movable plate can move closer to or further away from the first surface of the rigid plate.
