Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. figure 1 A perspective view of a machine underframe 100 according to one embodiment of the invention is shown. The machine underframe 100 includes a steering transmission 102 for providing steering movement to a pair of wheels 104 . Steering transmission 102 includes a pair of steering actuators 106 that extend or retract to provide steering movement for wheels 104 . Steering transmission 102 may also include tie rods 107 that cooperate with steering actuator 106 to provide steering movement to wheels 104 .

[0017] The steering mechanism 102 may include a pair of steering rods 108 for coupling the wheels 104 and the steering actuator 106 in the steering mechanism 102 . Such as figure 1 As shown, the steering actuator 106 may be connected to the steering rod 108 by a steering joint (universal joint) 110 . The steering joint 110 may be a pivot connection that couples th...

Abstract

The invention relates to a locking device for steering linkage. A locking device (202) includes a channel section (202). The channel section (202) has a first end (204) and a second end (206). The locking device (202) includes an end plate (208) disposed at the first end (204). Further, the locking device (202) includes a reinforcing member (210) disposed about an exterior surface (212) of the channel section (202) at the second end (206). The locking device (202) also includes a pair of first apertures (218) adapted to receive a first pin (220) which is further adapted to receive a tamper-resistant member (224).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a locking device for a steering linkage, and more particularly to a locking device suitable for use in conjunction with a steering linkage. Background technique [0002] During maintenance of a machine, it may sometimes be necessary for an operator to come under the machine. There may be the possibility that someone may turn the steering wheel to move the wheels in the machine without noticing the operator below. Operators could be in the path of moving wheels and could be injured as a result. Therefore, such machines are provided with means to prevent the steering gear from moving when the operator needs to get under the machine. Generally, a machine includes a structure provided in a steering wheel to mount a padlock or the like that restrains movement of the steering wheel and ultimately the wheels. Contents of the invention [0003] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a locking device. The locking d...
