Abstract:
1. A hydraulic line attachment device comprising: (a) a first assembly comprising a first frame, a plurality of first hydraulic line couplers, and a first coupling member; (b) a second assembly comprising a second frame, a plurality of second hydraulic line couplers, and a second coupling member; (c) the plurality of first hydraulic line couplers and the plurality of second hydraulic line couplers are constructed so that they are closed to flow of hydraulic fluid therethrough when disengaged, and open to flow of hydraulic fluid therethrough when engaged; (d) at least one of the first coupling member and the second coupling member comprises a shaft, the shaft being constructed to engage the other of the first coupling member and the second coupling member, and wherein the other of the first coupling member and the second coupling member comprises a cylinder, wherein the cylinder engages the shaft so that as a result of rotation between the shaft and the cylinder, the plurality of first hydraulic line couplers and the plurality of second hydraulic line couplers are engaged or are disengaged depending on the direction of rotation; (e) wherein the shaft comprises a pin arrangement and the cylinder comprises a spiral track constructed to receive the pin arrangement so the pin arrangement slides within the spiral track; and (f) a handle constructed to rotate to provide engagement and disengagement of the plurality of first hydraulic line couplers and the plurality of second hydraulic line couplers.
