Abstract: A shock absorber and suspension apparatus are disclosed for supporting a tiltable vehicle cab on a chassis including a first shock absorber and corresponding spring attached in parallel to each other and releasably coupled between the vehicle cab and the chassis, a first coupler attached to the vehicle cab, a second coupler attached to both the first shock absorber and the spring, the first shock absorber including an attachment for attaching the upper portion of the first shock absorber to the second coupler, the attachment including a damper for damping motion of the vehicle cab, the spring including a carrier for bearing the static load acting on the shock absorber and suspension apparatus separately from the first shock absorber, and a second shock absorber connecting the second coupler to the chassis and arranged substantially transverse to the first shock absorber.

Abstract: An end stop arrangement for a cabin of a vehicle supported on a frame of the vehicle and movable between upper and lower end positions, wherein the frame has at least a lower abutment surface. The end stop arrangement includes a link arm having an upper abutment surface as well as first and second ends. The link arm is pivotally connected at the first end to the cabin and at the second end to the frame. A stop arm is connected to the cabin and extends in the direction of the frame. Damping elements are connected to the stop arm. The damping elements engage the lower abutment surface when the cabin is in the lower end position and the damping elements engage the upper abutment surface when the cabin is in the upper end position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing arrangement for a propeller shaft (11, 12) which functions to drive at least one rear axle of a commercial vehicle, in which at least one running axle is mounted forwardly of the foremost driven rear axle but rearwardly of the forward end of the propeller shaft. The bearing arrangement includes a bearing housing (17) which is mounted on a component (13) in the vehicle and carries at least one bearing for the propeller shaft (11, 12), which includes two parts (11, 12) which are mutually connected at the bearing arrangement. According to the invention, the bearing housing (17) is mounted on the running axle (3), or on one of the running axles. A separate propeller-shaft intermediate part (18) is journaled on the bearing housing (17) and each of the ends of this intermediate part are provided with connecting devices (19) for connection to the two parts (11, 12) of the propeller shaft.
