Abstract:
A protection system for a work vehicle includes a rear portion configured to couple to a chassis of the work vehicle and a top portion configured to couple to a cab of the work vehicle. The top portion is also configured so that at least part of the top portion is positioned above the cab of the work vehicle relative to a ground surface. In addition, a first height of a maximum vertical extent of the top portion relative to the ground surface is substantially equal to a second height of a maximum vertical extent of the rear portion relative to the ground surface. Further, the rear portion and the top portion are separated from one another while the rear portion is coupled to the chassis and the top portion is coupled to the cab.
Abstract:
Aspects hereof relate to an operator protection apparatus having at least one over-center linkage. In some aspects, an operator protection apparatus can be raised and lowered by an operator from a seated position, for example, on a terrain working vehicle. Additionally, the at least one over-center linkage may automatically lock in the operator protection apparatus in a raised position. Accordingly, a mechanical force is then required to overcome the lock, and allow the operator protection apparatus to return to a lowered position.
Abstract:
An operator protective guard which can ensure strength and is easily manufactured and assembled is provided. A front guard includes a plurality of first plate members and second plate members each made of one plate. The first plate members and the second plate members are assembled in a grid pattern such that a first longitudinal direction of each of the first plate members intersects with a second longitudinal direction of each of the second plate members. The plurality of the first plate members are arranged radially as seen in the longitudinal direction. The plurality of the second plate members are arranged radially as seen in the longitudinal direction. A slit is formed in the first plate member, and the second plate member is fitted in the slit and fixed by welding.
Abstract:
An operator protective structure equipped on a cabin of construction machine is capable of moving the cabin along with a front guard by directly installing the front guard on the cabin fixed to an upper frame to protect the operator from an object penetrating into the front of the cabin. The cabin is provided with a bottom plate on a bottom thereof, mounted on an upper frame installed on a lower driving body and independently vibrated relative to the upper frame by connecting the bottom plate to the upper frame through vibration absorbing devices. The operator protective structure includes a front guide provided with a top bar and a bottom bar and installed up and down in front of the cabin to protect the cabin from objects penetrating into a front of the cabin and a top guide formed long on a ceiling of the cabin in a front and rear direction to protect the cabin from falling objects. The top bar is connected to a front top portion of the cabin and the bottom bar is connected to a front bottom portion of the cabin, whereby the front guide and the cabin are vibrated relative to the upper frame in a single body.
Abstract:
A ROPS canopy of a hydraulic shovel (hydraulic excavator) is commonly usable among various models regarding different automobile ranks. To configure this, a ROPS canopy (50A) in which two columns (31, 32) support a roof structure (40) is predefined as a basic type ROPS canopy, and the basic type ROPS canopy (50A) is so configured that at least an additional column (51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56) can be attached such that the basic type ROPS canopy (50A) can be adapted to a ROPS canopy of higher class model. The additional columns (51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56) are installable (57, 58b) by merely an add-on method.
Abstract:
A vehicle safety system comprises a gate movably coupled to the vehicle, and a collapsible barrier coupled to the gate and to the vehicle. The gate is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the stowed position, the gate collapses the collapsible barrier into a position adjacent to the vehicle such that the occupant may egress through an exit of the vehicle substantially unimpeded by the collapsible barrier or gate. In the deployed position, the gate and the collapsible barrier extend at least partially across the exit to impede egress of the occupant through the exit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a driver protection structure and a device supporting the same which secure driver's safety according to the international standardization organization when collided with a falling object and upon equipment's rollovers, comprising a first stopper which allows a driver's cabin and the driver protection structure mounted over the driver's cabin to move in a vertical direction and restricts the driver's cabin to move in a horizontal direction, and a second stopper which allows the driver's cabin to move in the vertical direction and restricts the driver's cabin to be lifted when a load is applied to the driver's cabin from external.
Abstract:
A restraining device for protecting the driver of a vehicle. The restraining system has at least one safety rollover bar laterally mounted next to the seat of the driver. The safety rollover bar can be swiveled from an vertical release position into a horizontal restraining position by a shaft extending transversely in relation to the longitudinal expanse of the vehicle. The shaft is driven by an electric motor via a transmission.
Abstract:
A vehicular impact resistant barrier system for mounting in an interior passenger compartment a vehicle. The interior passenger compartment of the vehicle is defined by a plurality of doors, a firewall, a floor wall, a roof wall, and a rear wall. The vehicular impact resistant barrier system includes a plurality of protective sheets that are mountable in the interior passenger compartment of the vehicle. Each of the protective sheets comprises a plurality of woven fibers.
Abstract:
A vehicle roof headliner panel for lining the interior surface of any motor vehicle, comprised of a single structure formed from a mold of the existing style of the roof of a vehicle using fiberglass matting, resin, hardener to create a high strength, better insulated safe and stylish interior vehicle compartment.
