Abstract: A differential lock control system for controlling the locking of the various differential assemblies associated with a particular work machine wherein such system includes a first switch positionable to select any one or more of the differential assemblies for operation in their locked condition, a second switch actuatable to control the locking of the differential assemblies selected by the first switch, a ground speed sensor for determining the ground speed of the work machine, an optional steering pressure sensor for determining the steering effort required to turn the wheels associated with the front axle, and an electronic controller coupled to the first and second switches and to the respective sensors for receiving signals therefrom, the controller outputting a signal to actuate the locking mechanism of the differential assemblies selected by the position of the first switch when the controller receives a signal indicative of the second switch being actuated, and a signal indicative of the ground speed being below a predetermined ground speed. In addition, if the locking mechanism of the front axle differential has been selected for actuation by the first switch, the controller will only lock-up the front axle differential when it receives an additional signal indicative of the steering effort being below a predetermined amount.

Abstract: A tire rim assembly (16) permits inflation of a tire (10) mounted thereon only when the components constituting the structure are assembled in a locking configuration. The tire rim assembly (16) includes a rim base (18) having first and second grooves (32,34) defined on its outer periphery (30), an annular bead seat member (24) arranged around the rim base (18) and having an inner periphery (38) defining a load transferring surface (42), an inner surface (40), and an inclined ramp surface (44) located between the inner surface (40) and the load transferring surface (42), an elastomeric seal (26) is disposed in the second groove (34), and an annular split lock ring (28) is disposed in axially restraining engagement in the first groove (32) and adapted to contact the load transferring surface (42) of the bead seat member (24) with the structure completely assembled. The elastomeric seal (26) is located by a locking surface (52) of the annular split lock ring (28) and elastically deformed by engagement of the inclined ramp surface (44) to establish an air tight seal between the elastomeric seal (26), the second groove (34), and the inclined ramp surface (44) when the lock ring (28) is properly installed. When the lock ring (28) is omitted or improperly installed the elastomeric seal (26) is free of compression and will not establish an air tight seal.

Abstract: A multi-piece wheel structure (16) permits inflation of a tire (10) mounted thereon only when components constituting the wheel structure (16) are locked together. The wheel structure (16) includes an annular rim base (18) having an outer periphery (30) with an indentation (36), an annular restraining flange (22) arranged about the rim base (18) which prevents axial movement of the tire (10) mounted on the rim base (18), a locking ring (24) which is insertable in the indentation (36) between the restraining flange (22) and the rim base (18) and on one axial side of the restraining flange (22), a conduit structure (44,46) which extends through the rim base (18), at least one connection hole (52) in the rim base (18) connecting the conduit structure (44,46) to the indentation (36), and a sealing plug (26) located in the hole (52) in sealing engagement with the rim base (18) and properly assembled locking ring (24). If the locking ring (24) is improperly assembled in the indentation (36) the sealing plug (26) escapes from the connection hole (52), passes into the indentation (36), and permits escape of air from the tire's interior (10a).

Abstract: A hydraulically operated drive engagement means (20,63) interposed between an engine (10) and a transmission (12) to permit the transmission (12) to be disconnected from the engine (10) during starting. The drive engagement means (20,63) is particularly useful during cold weather starts, and in those transmissions not ordinarily requiring disengagement from the engine. In order to minimize the weight and space requirements, a lockout feature (63) prevents engagement or disengagement of a drive engagement means (20,63) while the engine (10) is running.
