  • Patent number: 7677648
    Abstract: A door is provided. The door is pivotably connectable to a cab structure of a work vehicle and includes a handle secured to the door disposed for facilitating door closure against the cab structure from interior of the cab structure. Upon application of a door closure force to the handle, torsion forces applied to the door by the door closure force and a door opening device pivotably connected to the cab structure and to the door in close proximity to the handle, or pivotably connected to the cab structure and to the handle, as calculated at the device pivotable connection opposite the cab structure, are substantially eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20090195021
    Abstract: A work vehicle is provided including a frame structurally carrying a cab structure having a brim including a plurality of viewing openings. The cab structure structurally carries a window in close proximity to the brim and is disposed above an operating viewing position. The window and brim are in viewing alignment from the operating viewing position. The window is sufficiently disposed within the cab structure for protection from vertically falling objects.
