Abstract: A system for automatic tilting of an operator cabin of a work machine includes a first sensor that generates a first signal indicative of a first pitch angle of a frame structure relative to a non-inclined surface. The system also includes a tilting mechanism to tilt the operator cabin relative to the frame structure.

Further, based on a tilting of the operator cabin, a plane defined by the operator cabin is substantially parallel to the non-inclined surface.

Abstract: In a lift-up buckle device, a worm wheel is engaged with a screw drive. When a worm is rotated in a forward direction and causes the screw drive to move downward, the worm moves the worm wheel downward. On the other hand, when the worm is rotated in a reverse direction and causes the screw drive to move upward, the worm moves the worm wheel upward. Consequently, the worm wheel may be stably engaged with the screw drive, and the worm wheel and worm may be stably mated.
