ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes an angle blade assembly capable of angular motion relative to a frame of a work machine. The angle blade assembly includes a blade assembly, a subframe connected to the blade assembly, and an actuating cylinder with a line of action. The subframe includes connecting and lever portions that are connected to define a primary vertical axis. The actuating cylinder is connected to the connecting and lever portions so that a secondary vertical axis is defined between the actuating cylinder and the lever portion. The connection of the actuating cylinder to the connecting and lever portions produces the angular motion of the blade assembly when the actuating cylinder is operated. During the angular motion of the blade assembly, the secondary vertical axis moves about the primary vertical axis and a substantially constant distance is maintained between the line of action of the actuating cylinder and a parallel line extending through the primary vertical axis. The use of a single actuating cylinder in the described manner to produce angular motions of the blade assembly increases the efficiency of the design while lowering associated costs.
