Patent

CA 2145937

A power shovel for moving material from the ground includes a linkage mechanism adapted to be suspended from a drive unit capable of raising and lowering a load, and a pair of scoops pivotally mounted to the lower end of the linkage mechanism such that raising the upper end of the linkage mechanism to space the scoops above the ground closes the scoops to enable them to pick up a load on the ground, and lowering the upper end of the linkage mechanism to bring the scoops into contact with the ground opens the scoops to cause them to drop the load. A releasable retainer device is carried by each of the scoops and is selectively engageable with a lower part of the linkage mechanism to retain the scoops in their open position when the upper end of the linkage mechanism is raised, or disengageable from the lower part of the linkage mechanism to permit the pair of scoops to move to a closed position when the upper end of the linkage mechanism is raised.
