Abstract
A vehicle cab is resiliently suspended on a vehicle frame. Between the cab and the frame is arranged a device for limiting the mobility of the cab relative to the frame during operation and upon tilting of the cab. The device incorporates two stop surfaces fastened to the cab, and a movement limiter fastened to a stabilizer which is fastened to the frame. The movement limiter extends between the stop surfaces so that it shifts between them upon movement of the link arms. The cab's mobility is limited by the fact that contact occurs between the movement limiter and the stop surfaces.
Claims18
An arrangement for controlling the tilting of a driving cab of a vehicle with respect to a frame of the vehicle, the arrangement comprising:
- the vehicle frame, the driving cab;
- a plurality of spring elements resiliently supporting the driving cab on the frame;
- a link connected with and between the frame and the cab for following the spring controlled movement of the cab;
- the link having a first region rotatably connected to the frame and having a second region spaced from the first region and attached to the cab;
- a carrier element attached on the cab, a bushing in the carrier element to which the second region of the link is attached;
- a movement limiter extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and attached to the link, whereby the movement limiter moves as the link moves;
- at least first and second opposing and spaced apart stop surfaces supported on the cab, the movement limiter being movable in a space between the first and second stop surfaces and being selectively contactable with one or the other of the first and second stop surfaces or out of contact with both of the stop surfaces, such that the movement limiter extends between and may contact one of the stop surfaces upon movement of the link.
