Abstract
An arrangement for incorporation into a vehicle cab that includes a cab structure (2) that delimits a driver's working area. The arrangement has a support structure (3) arranged to support the cab structure (2) in the event of a considerable inclination of the cab structure relative to the frame (4) of the vehicle.
Claims38
An arrangement for incorporation in a vehicle cab, said arrangement comprising:
- a cab structure that delimits a driver's working area;
- a support structure;
- a connection means for connecting the cab structure to the support structure in such a way that the support structure supports the cab structure in the event of a considerable inclination of the cab structure relative to horizontal and in the event of an inclination of the cab structure relative to a frame of the incorporating vehicle;
- and
- said support structure being arranged behind the cab structure with respect to a driving direction of the incorporating vehicle;
- wherein the cab structure and the support structure are arranged to essentially not affect each other in a force-transmitting way when the inclination of the cab structure relative to horizontal and to the frame is less than a predetermined degree of inclination and to be connected in a force-transmitting way when the inclination of the cab structure relative to the horizontal plane and to the frame exceeds said predetermined degree of inclination.

- and
- said support structure being arranged behind the cab structure with respect to a driving direction of the incorporating vehicle;
- wherein, in an active mode, said connecting means is arranged to provide a force-transmitting connection between the cab structure and the support structure and, in an inactive mode, to afford the cab structure freedom of movement without the transmission of forces from the support structure.
