Benefits of technology
The invention is a system that makes it easy to attach and detach a power source to a draft machine or other power source. It consists of two parts: one attached to the machine and one attached to the implement. This system simplifies the process of connecting and disconnecting a rotating shaft to transfer power. It can be used in different industries and with different types of shafts.
Problems solved by technology
One of the biggest complaints in the industry is that there is not a safe and convenient method of attaching a tractor or other PTO driver shaft to an implement.
Another complaint is in attaching the lift arms of a three-point hitch system on a tractor to an implement.
Alignment between a tractor and an implement can sometimes be difficult as when the eye of the lift arm contacts the pin on the implement and requires one of the two units to move together while connecting.
While there are some coupling system devices on the market, these are not entirely satisfactory or cost effective.

Embodiment Construction
[0023]In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific implementations which may be practiced. These implementations are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the implementations, and it is to be understood that other implementations may be utilized and that logical, mechanical, and other changes may be made without departing from the scope of the implementations. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense.
[0024]In broad scope the invention is a two-component coupling system for efficient and simplified attachment of implements to a power take-off unit of a tractor or other prime mover (rotary driver or driver). A first component is attached to the PTO shaft of the tractor or other driver and a second component attached to the implement to be coupled. The first and second components may ...

Disclosed is a two-component power take-off (PTO) coupling system for efficient and simplified attachment of implements to a power take-off system of a tractor or other prime mover, having a first component to be attached to the PTO shaft of the tractor or other driver and a second component attached to the implement to be coupled. The coupling system serves to eliminate the difficult task of attaching or detaching a power shaft on a rotary driven farm implement such as a rotary cutter, tiller, generator, pump, etc. to tractor power take off (PTO) or any other driver that has an auxiliary splined power out-put shaft. It is designed for any application in any industry that requires frequent connecting or disconnecting of a rotating shaft to transfer power or torque. The coupling system can accommodate two different series PTO shaft types for example, if the implement has a type two (2) shaft but the owner's tractor is a type one (1) the coupling system can be adapted to accommodate both.
Description
BACKGROUNDField of Invention[0001]The present invention relates to coupling for connecting power take-off systems. More specifically it related to easily connectable couplings for connecting implements to power take-off system of tractors and like rotary drivers.Copyright Notice[0002]A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all (copyright or mask work) rights whatsoever.Background[0003]The power take-off (PTO) shaft has been existence on tractors and or prime movers since the early years of the 20th century. The typical method of attaching the power shaft of an implement to the PTO shaft on a tractor or prime mover requires a person the place their body in a difficult position and location, lift...
