ABSTRACT:
An attachment device for releasably securing an implement such as a bucket, pallet fork, etc., to the arms of an end loader includes a self-contained latching mechanism. The latching mechanism extends between the arms and has a first upper U-shaped support groove and a lower slot for receiving and engaging respective upper and lower elongated mounting pins of the implement. A linearly movable latch pin, or plunger, is disposed adjacent the lower slot for locking the implement's lower mounting pin in position within the slot in attaching the implement to the end loader. The latch pin also undergoes a pivoting motion during mounting pin insertion and removal to allow for automatic implement attachment to and disconnection from the end loader without the end loader operator having to leave the end loader and manually tend to the attachment device.
