Abstract
A construction forming a part of a body of an industrial vehicle is composed of a frame structure and a covering of an engine compartment. The covering has a hinged upper panel, and left and right side panels each of which is hinged at a bottom end so that an upper end of each side panel is swingable outwardly.
Claims18
A construction for forming a body of an industrial vehicle, comprising:
- a stationary frame structure,
- an upper panel serving as a top cover for an upper opening of a machine compartment of the vehicle, said upper panel being swingably mounted on said stationary frame structure through upper hinge means,
- a first side panel serving as a side wall of the machine compartment, said panel being swingably mounted on said stationary frame structure through first side hinge means which comprises at least one pair of a stationary leaf fixed to said stationary frame structure and a swingable leaf fixed to a bottom end of said side panel, said first side panel having a swingable upper end having an edge lying adjacent said upper panel defining a border of said upper opening.
A construction for forming a body of an industrial vehicle, comprising:
- a stationary frame structure,
- an upper panel serving as a top cover of a machine compartment of the vehicle, said upper panel being swingably mounted on said stationary frame structure through upper hinge means,
- a first side panel serving as a side wall of the machine compartment, said side panel being swingably mounted on said stationary frame structure through first side hinge means which comprises at least one pair of a stationary leaf fixed to said stationary frame structure and a swingable leaf fixed to a bottom end of said side panel wherein said first side panel comprises a receiving portion, and said upper panel comprises a first locking portion which engages with said receiving portion of said first side panel in such a manner as to lock said first side panel when said upper panel is closed in a state in which said first side panel is closed.
A construction for forming a body of an industrial vehicle, comprising;
- a stationary cab frame structure,
- a side panel serving as a side wall of a machine compartment of the vehicle, said side panel being mounted on said frame structure through side hinge means so that said side panel is swingable on a side hinge axis said side panel having a receiving portion, and
- an upper panel serving as a top cover of said machine compartment, said upper panel being mounted on said frame structure through upper hinge means so that said upper panel is swingable on an upper hinge axis, said upper panel having a locking portion which engages with said receiving portion of said side panel in such a manner as to lock said side panel when said upper panel is closed in a state in which said side panel is closed.
A construction for forming a body of an industrial vehicle, comprising:
- a cross member having an upper portion and two legs extending downwardly, respectively, from both ends of said upper portion,
- left and right cab frame members which are connected rigidly with lower ends of said legs of said cross member, respectively, and
- a covering for enclosing a machine compartment of the vehicle, said covering comprising a panel connected to said cross member.
A construction for forming a body of an industrial vehicle, comprising:
- a stationary frame structure,
- an upper panel serving as a top cover of a machine compartment of the vehicle, said upper panel being swingably mounted on said stationary frame structure through upper hinge means,
- a first side panel serving as a side wall of the machine compartment, said side panel being swingably mounted on said stationary frame structure through first side hinge means which comprises at least one pair of a stationary leaf fixed to said stationary frame structure and a swingable leaf fixed to a bottom end of said side panel, wherein said first side hinge means includes means for removably detaching the first side panel from the stationary frame structure when said first side panel is rotated into a predetermined angular relationship with the stationary frame structure.
