Abstract: A loader 10 includes a loader boom having opposite sides defined by arms to each of which is pivotally mounted a portion of a parking stand assembly including a support leg and a strut with the pivot axis for the leg being spaced between the implement at the end of the boom and the pivot axis for the strut. The support leg includes a pair of sides connected together by a web so as to be generally H-shaped in cross section over a major portion of its length. The web contains an opening through which the strut extends with the strut being in the channel defined below the support leg web and both the support leg and strut extending along the underside of the loader arm when the parking stand is in its stored position. The channel defined above the web receives the lower portion of the loader arm. A  releasable fastener couples the strut to the arm, the strut in turn holding the support leg in place. When the fastener is released, the strut and arm gravitate toward a park position which is effected when a receptacle adjacent the end of the strut comes into engagement with a cross pin mounted to the support leg at a location close to the opening. The strut carries a hook which faces the receptacle and functions to prevent the support leg from strut from becoming withdrawn from the opening in the support leg web and thus separating from the leg.

Patent CA-2287417-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DILLON DOUGLAS M
IPC: H04H20/76
Filed: 1998-10-26
Abstract: A multicast network system utilizes a high speed link, such as a satellite link, to multicast multimedia information from the Internet to a plurality of receivers, such as personal computers. Information from selected web sites is organized into "channels" and provided to a multicast network for multicast transmission to the receivers. Updated channel information is also periodically provided. The receivers store the received channel such that a user can access the web page content in the channel at hard disk speed.  Preferably, a conditional access system ensures that only authorized receivers receive the channels. The present invention also preferably includes a lower speed two-way connection to the Internet (such as dial up modem) which is used to report usage information and/or subscription information back to the web sites. The present invention also provides "seamless" or automatic access to this connection to allow the user to retrieve any information that has not been received and stored. The receiver also manages use of memory space and other applications that may be active on the receiver to ensure that the receipt and processing of the multicast information does not interfere with receiver operation.
