LINKAGE SYSTEM FOR COUPLING SNUBBER TO A MACHINE IMPLEMENT
First Claim
1. A linkage system for a snubber of a machine, the snubber being mounted on an implement of the machine, the linkage system comprising:
- a first linkage component operatively coupled to the snubber, the first linkage component defining a plurality of apertures therein; and
a second linkage component having a first end distal to the first linkage component and a second end proximate the first linkage component, wherein the first end of the second linkage component is pivotally coupled to a door of the implement about a door pivot axis, and wherein the second end of the second linkage component is selectively and pivotally coupled to one of the plurality of apertures about a link pivot axis in order to change a perpendicular distance between the door pivot axis and the link pivot axis.

Abstract
A linkage system for a snubber of a machine is provided. The snubber is being mounted on an implement of the machine. The linkage system includes a first linkage component operatively coupled to the snubber. The first linkage component defines a plurality of apertures therein. The linkage system also includes a second linkage component having a first end distal to the first linkage component and a second end proximate the first linkage component. The first end of the second linkage component is pivotally coupled to a door of the implement about a door pivot axis. The second end of the second linkage component is selectively and pivotally coupled to one of the plurality of apertures about a link pivot axis in order to change a perpendicular distance between the door pivot axis and the link pivot axis.
