Patent number: 7347487Abstract: A method of assembling a floor structure of a construction machine is based upon the machine with a stepwise part that is located at a lower level on the outside is formed on the end edge of a floor plate as a floor structure. In case of a cabin specification with a cabin mounted, a device for opening and closing a door is housed in the stepwise part with the stepwise part filled in, and a first floor mat having a substantially constant thickness is mounted on the floor plate. In case of a canopy specification having a canopy, a second floor mat having on its end edge a protrusion which is fitted into the stepwise part instead of the device to fill the part is mounted on the floor plate. Accordingly, the same floor plate can be employed in both cabin and canopy specifications, regardless of the specification, thereby reducing the number of parts constituting the floor structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2004Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenta Kojima, Tadashi Shirogami

Patent number: 7036251Abstract: A counterweight mounting structure for construction machine to which a counterweight is connected through a gap to an exterior constituting an upper rotating body is constituted such that a recessed groove is provided on an end on a connection side of the counterweight, an elastic soundproof material is installed in the recessed groove, and the soundproof material protruding from the recessed groove is brought in contact with, and pressed against an end on the connection side of the exterior when the counterweight is mounted. As a result, there is provided the counterweight mounting structure whose soundproof capability does not decrease even after the counterweight is mounted/dismounted.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2004Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenta Kojima, Isao Miyachi, Yuichi Hoshino

Publication number: 20060017308Abstract: A cabin frame for a cabin of a construction machine includes a combination of a posterior frame body having a predetermined strength and an anterior frame body disposed in front thereof. The posterior frame body defines a common element that is used in common between different machine models, whereas the anterior frame body defines an adjustment element such that its dimension in a front-back direction of the construction machine is determined according to the corresponding machine model. Another cabin frame includes a combination of an anterior frame body defining a common element used in common between three machine models, namely, a model with an operator-protecting function, a low-tare model with an operator-protecting function, and a high-tare model with an operator-protecting function; and a posterior frame body defining a replaceable element having a predetermined strength selected from a plurality of strengths set for the corresponding machine models.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2005Publication date: January 26, 2006Applicant: KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenta Kojima, Chuichi Ishibashi, Masaaki Murakami, Satoshi Fujimoto
