Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001004424
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A dipper door (16, 40) pivotally mounted to a dipper (10, 43) is controlled as it pivots between open and closed positions. In one embodiment, the door (16) is controlled by a brake (22) pivotally linking the door (40) to the dipper. In another embodiment, the door is pivotally mounted to the dipper by a pin (41), and the door is controlled by a linkage actuated by a linear actuator (50). The pivot point of the door is positioned above the dipper bottom to decrease the dump height of the dipper.
