Patent ID: 7290977

Claim:
An actuator operated apparatus for mounting and hydraulically coupling a working attachment to a mounting plate of a work vehicle comprising: a pair of locking hydraulic actuators configured to receive a portion of pressurized fluid from the work vehicle to actuate a pair of wedges that move to one of lock and unlock the working attachment and the mounting plate; a first hydraulic coupling block mountable to the working attachment and configured to house at least one hydraulic coupler; a second hydraulic coupling block having a top surface and a bottom surface mountable to the mounting plate and configured to house at least one hydraulic coupler the at least one hydraulic coupler being adjacent the top surface of the second hydraulic coupling block and extending between the top and bottom surfaces of the second hydraulic coupling block; and a coupling hydraulic actuator configured to receive a remaining portion of the pressurized fluid from the work vehicle to actuate the second coupling block to one of engage and disengage the at least one hydraulic coupler and a bottom surface of the first coupling block with the at least one hydraulic coupler and the top surface of the second coupling block.
