ZERO-TURN-RADIUS RIDING MOWER FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM
A mower system including a front wheel suspension system to provide regulated movement of a front wheel relative to a frame of the mower system, including a pivoting wheel assembly that includes a wheel arm pivotably coupled to a frame member by way of a pivot and to pivot about a pivot axis defined by the pivot, the wheel coupled to the wheel arm, and a resilient member assembly disposed between the wheel arm and the frame member, the resilient member assembly to be compressed between the wheel arm and the frame member to dampen pivoting of the wheel arm and the front wheel about the pivot axis.
ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM COMPRISING A LINEAR ACTUATOR, VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE
An adjustment mechanism, in particular for a vehicle, for example a lawn mower, comprises a linear actuator, which has a motor, a transmission arrangement and a displaceable output element, and a manually operable actuation mechanism, wherein there is a coupling element which is displaceable relative to the output element, which represents both a component of the linear actuator and a component of the manual actuation mechanism and which, in a mechanical mode, permanently rests against a stop of the output element, whereas, in a manual mode, it can be lifted off from the stop by means of the actuation mechanism.
OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT SUSPENSION SYSTEM
A front independent suspension assembly for outdoor power equipment includes a first joint, a first wheel coupled to the joint, a first longitudinal arm pivotably coupled to the joint, a first lateral arm pivotably coupled to the joint, and a second lateral arm pivotably coupled to the joint. The second lateral suspension arranged substantially parallel to the first lateral suspension arm. The pivotal coupling between the joint and each of the first longitudinal arm, the first lateral arm, and the second lateral arm enables the first wheel to independently displace about a vertical axis
Lawnmower with front axle assembly
A lawnmower includes a frame, a pair of drive wheels, a front axle assembly, a first caster wheel, a second caster wheel, a first rod, a second rod, and a mower deck. The pair of drive wheels are coupled to a second end portion of the frame. The front axle assembly includes a bar pivotally coupled to a first end portion of the frame about a pivot axis. The first caster wheel is coupled to a first lateral end of the bar. The second caster wheel is coupled to a second lateral end of the bar. The first rod is coupled between the frame and the first lateral end of the bar. The second rod is coupled between the frame and the second lateral end of the bar. When the bar pivots about the pivot axis, the first caster wheel and the second caster wheel move relative to the frame.
