Abstract: 1,022,491. Tractor power lift mechanisms. ZAHNRADFABRIK FRIEDRICHSHAFEN A.G. Dec. 21, 1962 [Jan. 20, 1962], No. 48392/62. Heading A1P. A tractor power lift mechanism provides for draft control and includes a control valve 2 which has two pistons K 2, K 3 of unequal diameters. Hydraulic fluid is supplied by a pump 4 via a pressure regulator 5 and a control valve 2 to a ram cylinder 7. In the neutral position shown pressure in the cylinder 7 is transmitted via throttling point 9 to space 20 between unequal pistons K 2, K3 whereby the valve 2 is biased against the action of spring 3. Regulator 5 discharges the fluid from the pump to the sump. When pressure in cylinder 7 increases, since there is a pressure differential between pistons K 2, and K 3, valve 2 is moved to the right so that fluid is discharged from the cylinder 7 to the sump via line 11, space 21 and line 12. When pressure in cylinder 7 decreases pressure in space 20 decreases so that spring 3 moves the valve 2 to the left whereby the pump supplies fluid via line 14, space 21 and line 11 to the cylinder 7. Also the outlet to sump is closed by regulator 5 since pressure fluid passes to space 22 via throttling point 9, space 20 and line 19. The valve 2 may be controlled manually by lever 10.

As described, two cables 12 are connected by two such assemblies 10, the connections being effected at abutting end faces along a common radial plane, the axially projecting teeth 84 of one ring 22 engaging between the teeth 84 of the ring 22 on the other body 18. Each tooth 84 is provided with a camming surface 94 so that angular misalignment of the rings 22 is automatically corrected as the two sets of teeth 84 are brought together by rotation of the rings 22. The extent of rotation is limited by the difference in the angular extent of a keyway 76 in the ring 22 and a corresponding key 78 in the body 18. A spring 70 biases the ring 22 forwardly so as to protect end face 39 of body 18 which is in electrical contact with the outer conductor 16 via a metal sleeve 36 on ring assembly 32. Protection is also thereby afforded to the end face 46 of a centre contact assembly 40 that is in spring biased contact with the inner conductor 14. An insulating ring 34 separates the inner conductor 14 from the metal sleeve 36. Each assembly is screw threaded to its respective cable or airline 12 by means of screw thread 26, a retaining nut 20 being screwed into abutting relationship with the adjacent portion 58 of its respective body 18 so as to prevent unthreading of the body 18. The assemblies 10 are initially mounted on their respective cable or airline 12 and then brought into abutting relationship. The teeth 84 ensure correct alignment, a coupling nut 24 of one assembly being screw threaded on the thread 86 of the registration ring 22 of the other assembly. Axial tension is exerted by a lip 87 of the retaining nut 20 via a C ring 66 which is held in an annular groove adjacent end of an annular portion 68 of the registration ring 22.
