  • Patent number: 8087718
    Abstract: An arrangement for suspension of an operator cab on a machine frame in order to permit controlled motion of the cab relative to the frame is provided. The arrangement includes at least one first suspension member disposed between an underside of the cab and the frame for supporting the cab on the frame. The arrangement further includes at least one second suspension member disposed between a rear side of the cab and a rigid support structure and wherein the second suspension member is arranged at an elevated position relative to the underside of the cab. The second suspension member is adapted to provide an increased rigidity against cab movements both in the longitudinal and lateral direction of the machine during operation of the work machine.

  • Publication number: 20070124915
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel and efficient method for manufacture of toroidal transformers, a bobbin for manufacture of toroidal transformers and a system for performing said method for manufacture of toroidal transformers. Said method for manufacture of toroidal transformers has properties superior for automated mass production and comprises the steps of arranging a coil around the periphery of at least one hollow bobbin of elongated shape and of flexible material; bending said at least one bobbin, together with said coil, so that the bobbin ends are brought towards each other, one of said bobbin ends defining an opening; and feeding a ribbon of magnetic material through said opening, so that said ribbon is being wound a required amount of tightly packed winding turns inside said bobbin until essentially the whole interior cavity of said bobbin is filled, said ribbon thereby forming a core.

  • Patent number: 6986545
    Abstract: Method and device for suspending a cab (4) on a vehicle frame (3) using vertical orientation for both a first element (1) that absorbs shocks/vibrations from the vehicle frame (3) to the cab (4) and a second element (2) that acts as a load support between cab (4) and the vehicle frame (3)in the event of, for example, accident situations. The first and second elements (1, 2) are arranged on the device, which connects the cab (4) to the vehicle frame (3) by a firm connection between the first element (1) and the cab (4), or alternatively the vehicle frame (3).

  • Publication number: 20040201257
    Abstract: Method and device for providing a suspension for a cab (4) on a vehicle frame (3) having a first element (1) adapted mainly for reducing transmission of shocks/vibrations from the vehicle frame (3) to the cab (4). A second element (2) is included that is adapted mainly for taking up load in the event of, for example, accident situations. The first and second elements (1, 2) are arranged serially in the vertical direction of the vehicle. The device includes means (5) for connecting the cab (4) and the vehicle frame (3), and the first and second elements (1, 2) are arranged on the connecting means (5). The connecting means (5) is connected firmly to the first element (1) and also to the cab (4). The connecting means (5) is connected firmly to the first element (1) and also to the cab (4), or alternatively to the vehicle frame (3). The connecting means (5) constitutes a firm connection between the first element (1) and the cab (4), or alternatively the vehicle frame (3).
