Abstract:
A coupler is configured to couple an implement to an earth moving or materials handling machine. The coupler includes a locking member for locking a pin of an implement into a coupler in the recess. The locking member is driven by a hydraulic arrangement, with the hydraulic cylinder body being formed integrally with either the coupler body or the locking member. The coupler may be adapted to accommodate a range of implement pin spacings and/or diameters, so that the coupler can be used with different implements and in particular with different makes of implement.

Claim (Index 1):
A coupler for coupling an earth-moving or materials-handling machine to an attachment having at least one attachment pin, the coupler having a first interface for securely engaging the machine and a second interface for securely engaging the attachment, the second interface comprising a recess exterior to the coupler for receiving a respective said at least one attachment pin, the coupler comprising:\n a coupler body defining a cavity; and a locking member housed at least partially in the cavity, the locking member comprising a fluid-receiving cylinder body and a shaft slidable relative to the cylinder body in response to fluid pressure in the cylinder body, the shaft fixed relative to the coupler body and the cylinder body defining a wedge extendably slidable into and out of the recess of the second interface so as to selectively, alternately engage and disengage a respective said at least one attachment pin.
