ROPS MOUNT FOR WORK VEHICLE DISPLAY INTERFACE
First Claim
1. In a work vehicle having an operator compartment and first and second operational sides, an adjustable mounting assembly for a display interface, comprising:
- a first rail adapted to connect to a support member within the operator compartment to extend primarily in the direction between the first and second operational sides of the operator compartment;
a second rail connected to the first rail to translate in the direction between the first and second operational sides of the operator compartment;
a slider connected to the second rail to translate along the second rail; and
a display mount connected to the slider to translate therewith along the second rail, the display mount providing a mounting location for the display interface that is movable about a pivot axis which is at angle with respect to the slider.

Abstract
An adjustable mounting assembly capable of mounting an operator display interface to the ROPS of a work vehicle that has front and rear implements, such as the front loader and rear excavator of a backhoe. The adjustable mounting assembly can have a telescoping compound slide assembly with at least one movable rail and slider. The moveable rail and slider can translate to move a display mount linearly between the front or rear of the vehicle. A display bracket can rotate about a generally vertical axis. Detents or other positioning elements can be provided on the rails and slider as well as at preset angular orientations of the display mount. The adjustable mounting assembly thus allows the vehicle operator to readily adjust the display interface to be viewable when in the front and rear facing seating orientations of the vehicle.

13. In a work vehicle having an operator compartment, first and second operational sides, and a roller over protection system (ROPS), an adjustable mounting assembly for a display interface, comprising:
-
a mounting bracket adapted to connect to the ROPS; a linear translation mechanism connected to the mounting bracket to extend primarily in the direction between the first and second operational sides of the operator compartment, the translation mechanism having at least two rails and a slider coupled to at least one of the rails to translate thereon; and a rotational display mount connected to the slider and providing a mounting location for the display interface; wherein the display mount is positioned in proximity to the first operational side of the operator compartment when the translation mechanism is in a first end of travel position and wherein the display mount is positioned in proximity to the second operational side of the operator compartment when the translation mechanism is in a second end of travel position, and wherein the display mount is rotatable about a pivot axis between a first angular orientation detent location and a second angular orientation detent location. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. In a work vehicle having an operator compartment, first and second operational sides, and a roller over protection system (ROPS), an adjustable mounting assembly for a display interface, comprising:
-
a linear translation mechanism adapted to be connected to a support member of the ROPS to extend primarily in the direction between the first and second operational sides of the operator compartment, the translation mechanism having at least two rails and a slider coupled to at least one of the rails to translate thereon; and a display mount having a hanger bracket connected to the slider, the hanger bracket being angled to define a platform essentially parallel with the slider to which is connected a display bracket for connecting the display interface to the hanger bracket, the display bracket being rotatable about a pivot axis essentially perpendicular to the hanger bracket platform to move between a first angular orientation and a second angular orientation; wherein the display mount is positioned in proximity to the first operational side of the operator compartment when the translation mechanism is in a first end of travel position and in proximity to the second operational side of the operator compartment when the translation mechanism is in a second end of travel position, and wherein the display mount is positionable in the first angular orientation when the translation mechanism is in the first end of travel position and in the second angular orientation when the translation mechanism is in the second end of travel position. - View Dependent Claims (20)
