  • Patent number: 5906248
    Abstract: A device for improving a safety of a crew in a cab over type vehicle by absorbing shock at the time of a collision of the vehicle with a simple structure in which each main sill is provided on the right and left sides under the cab the tips of the main sills are connected together with a cross pipe in the vehicle width direction, and the cab is pivotally supported on the right and left sides of the chassis frame through the cab hinge shaft.On the other hand, the central portion of a pipe shaped like a substantial U-character, both ends of which are fixed to the right and left sides of the chassis frame respectively, rises above the chassis frame, and a belt or wire is spanned between the cross pipe and the central portion of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 4091888
    Abstract: A truck described herein comprises a loading table mounted on a body frame of said truck in such manner that said loading table may move in the forward direction along said body frame when an impact force larger than a predetermined value is applied to a vehicle body of said truck. An energy absorber means is interposed between said body frame and said loading table for absorbing the kinetic energy possessed by said loading table. In one aspect of the invention, the truck also comprises a stopper mounted on said body frame to limit the forward motion of said loading table along said body frame, the stopper also including separate energy absorber means for absorbing the kinetic energy of said loading table. Each of said energy absorber means consists of a member which absorbs the kinetic energy through friction, elastic deformation, plastic deformation, or through their combined effect.
