  • Patent number: 12025411
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, a front cabin, an armor component, and a retainer. The front cabin is coupled to the frame and selectively repositionable between an in-use position and a maintenance position. The retainer is coupled to the armor component and defines a slot extending laterally across a portion of the retainer. The vehicle is reconfigurable between an A-kit configuration and a B-kit configuration. In the A-kit configuration, the armor component is removed from the vehicle. In the B-kit configuration, the armor component is coupled to the front cabin. The retainer is offset the armor component by a retainer spacer.

  • Patent number: 11691555
    Abstract: A vehicle including a frame, a cabin, and a blast mat. The cabin is coupled to the frame and includes a seat and a series of walls. The blast mat has a bottom surface engaging at least one of the walls. The blast mat includes a first portion configured to support a first portion of an occupant seated in the seat and a second portion configured to support a second portion of the occupant. The first portion of the occupant and the second portion of the occupant have different resistances to blast energy. The second portion of the blast mat has a greater thickness than the first portion of the blast mat.

  • Patent number: 11400845
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, a cabin coupled to the frame, and a blast mat. The cabin includes a seat configured to support an occupant and a series of walls at least partially defining a footwell configured to receive a foot of the occupant when the occupant is seated in the seat. The blast mat is positioned within the footwell and configured to absorb energy from an explosion. The blast mat has a top surface and a bottom surface. The cabin defines a longitudinal axis extending parallel to a forward direction of travel of the vehicle and a lateral axis extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. At least a portion of the bottom surface of the blast mat engages at least one of the walls. A thickness of the blast mat varies throughout the blast mat.

  • Patent number: 11181345
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame extending longitudinally, a front cabin coupled to the frame and configured to accept at least one occupant, and a support coupled to the frame. The vehicle is reconfigurable between an A-kit configuration and a B-kit configuration. In the A-kit configuration, a spacer extends between the frame and the support and couples the support to the frame, and an armor component is removed from between the frame and the support. In the B-kit configuration, the armor component extends between the frame and the support and couples the support to the frame, and the spacer is removed from between the frame and the support.

  • Patent number: 10611416
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, tractive assemblies engaging the frame, a cabin configured to contain at least one operator during operation of the vehicle, and a mount configured to pivotably couple the cabin to the frame. The mount includes a boss coupled to the cabin and defining a first aperture, a first bracket defining a second aperture, a pin extending through the first and second apertures, a second bracket coupled to the frame, and a pair of isolators extending between the first bracket and the second bracket. The isolators are configured to couple the first bracket to the second bracket and to reduce the transfer of vibrations between the frame and the cabin. The cabin is configured to rotate between use position and maintenance positions. The cabin is positioned near the frame in the use position and rotated away from the frame in the maintenance position.

  • Patent number: 10545010
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, multiple tractive assemblies engaging the frame, a cabin coupled to the frame, and a blast mat. The cabin includes a seat configured to support an occupant and multiple walls at least partially defining a footwell configured to receive the feet of the occupant when the occupant is seated in the seat. The blast mat is positioned within the footwell and configured to absorb energy from an explosion, thereby reducing energy transferred into the feet of the occupant due to the explosion. The blast mat has a top surface and a bottom surface. At least a portion of the bottom surface of the blast mat engages at least one of the walls. A thickness of the blast mat is defined between the top surface and the portion of the bottom surface engaging at least one of the walls. The thickness varies throughout the blast mat.

  • Patent number: 10495419
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, front cabin, and an armor component. The vehicle is reconfigurable between a B-kit configuration where the armor component is coupled to the vehicle, and an A-kit configuration where the armor component is removed. The armor component is configured to be coupled to at least one of a plurality of bosses disposed on a front wall or a side wall of the vehicle. A vehicle may also include at least two frame rails, a support, and a spacer that is coupled to at least one of the frame rails and the support. The armor component may replace the spacer in the B-kit configuration. The armor component may be an underbody armor panel. The vehicle may further include a retainer to simplify the conversion between the A-kit and a B-kit configurations and a step.
