A quick-attaching mechanism for mounting an implement to the remote end of a boom or the like includes a mounting structure provided at the end of the boom and a receiving structure provided on the implement. The mounting structure and receiving structure are provided with upper pivotable engagement means defining an upper pivot axis. When pivoting the mounting structure and the receiving structure about the pivot axis to an engaged position, a latch mechanism provided at the lower end of the mounting structure is automatically moved to its latching position for securely connecting the implement to the boom. The latching mechanism is a pivotable latch member, which is manually movable to a release position for allowing uncoupling of the implement from the mounting structure.

Abstract

A quick-attaching mechanism for mounting an implement to the remote end of a boom or the like includes a mounting structure provided at the end of the boom and a receiving structure provided on the implement. The mounting structure and receiving structure are provided with upper pivotable engagement means defining an upper pivot axis. When pivoting the mounting structure and the receiving structure about the pivot axis to an engaged position, a latch mechanism provided at the lower end of the mounting structure is automatically moved to its latching position for securely connecting the implement to the boom. The latching mechanism is a pivotable latch member, which is manually movable to a release position for allowing uncoupling of the implement from the mounting structure.
