Abstract: A lock assembly for retaining a tiltable cab structure in a normal operating position relative to the body structure of a truck. Each lock assembly comprises two transversely spaced latches, each including a keeper attached to one of the structure, a latch member attached to the other structure and mounted for movement into and out of a closed position to effect latching engagement with the keeper, and an operating lever movable between an unlocking position in which the latch member is disengageable with the keeper and a locking position in which the latch member is retained in engagement with the keeper. A releasing linkage interconnects the operating levers for simultaneously moving the operating levers between the locking and unlocking positions.

Abstract: A lock for retaining a tiltable cab structure in a normal operating position relative to the body structure of a truck comprises a keeper attached to one of the structures, a latch member attached to the other structure and movable between an open position in which the keeper and the latch member are free to move into and out of engagement with each other, and a closed position in which the keeper is retained in engagement with the latch member, a pawl for retaining the latch member in the closed position, a releasing link for moving the pawl to allow movement of the latch member to the open position, the releasing linkage including an actuating member mounted for sliding movement in a housing between a withdrawn position in which the pawl retains the latch member in the closed position and an extended position in which the pawl allows movement of the latch into the open position, the actuating member being rotatable relative to the housing in the withdrawn position into a locked position in which the housing

Abstract: A motor vehicle comprises a body structure, a cab mounted on the body structure for movement about a pivot axis between a normal operating position and a tilted position, and a support radially spaced from the pivot axis for supporting the cab structure on the body structure in the normal operating position of the cab, at least one of the supports comprising a keeper attached to one of the structures and a latch member attached to the other structure and mounted for movement into and out of latch engagement with the keeper when the cab is in its normal operating position, the keeper comprising a bracket mounted on the said one structure and a striker pin resiliently mounted on the bracket. The resiliently mounting of the striker pin in the bracket minimizes wear between the striker pin and the latch member during use of the vehicle and also reproduces vibrations transmitted from the body structure into the cab structure.
