Abstract:
A hydraulic cable puller that includes a hub having an axially-extending annular winding spindle for receiving a plurality of wraps of a rope adapted to connect to a downstream end of a cable to be pulled and to exert a pulling force on the cable. A hydraulic motor is mounted on the hub for rotating the hub and includes an inlet port and outlet port for being attached to inlet and outlet hydraulic supply conduits of a vehicle. A mounting bracket is adapted to mount the hub and the hydraulic motor onto an end of a boom arm of the vehicle.

Claim (Index 14):
A hydraulic cable puller mounted on a boom arm of an excavator, comprising:\n (a) a hub having an axially-extending annular winding spindle for receiving a plurality of wraps of a rope adapted to connect to a downstream end of a cable to be pulled and to exert a pulling force on the cable; (b) a hydraulic motor mounted within a housing on the hub for rotating the hub and including an inlet port and outlet port for being attached to inlet and outlet hydraulic supply conduits of the excavator; (c) a mounting bracket adapted to mount the hub and the hydraulic motor onto an exterior sidewall of a bucket attached to an end of the boom arm of the excavator, where the mounting bracket has a hooked portion adapted to extend over an edge of the bucket sidewall and partially extend along an interior surface of the bucket sidewall to support the mounting bracket at a fixed location relative to the position of the bucket; (d) the hub connected to an end of the housing opposite to the mounting bracket and extending laterally outward from the housing in a laterally outward direction from the plane of the bucket sidewall; (e) whereby an axis of rotation of the hub perpendicular to the side wall of the bucket is maintained during movement of the bucket on the boom arm of the excavator; and (f) a plurality of clamping knobs having threaded stems adapted to extend through the mounting bracket and cooperate with the sidewall further securing the mounting bracket to the sidewall.
