  • Patent number: 8091954
    Abstract: Mounting apparatus (10) for mounting a cab (12) to a chassis (14) on a utility vehicle at one of a plurality of mounting points. The mounting apparatus comprise a first member (15) being associated with the cab and a second member (16) being associated with the chassis. The members (15, 16) each have a mutually cooperating major surface which supports a portion of the weight of the cab (12). The weight is supported over a majority of the major surface thus avoiding localized stresses. The members further include engaging projections (25, 16) disposed on their major surfaces which can be engaged to restrict relative movement in a plane substantially parallel to the major surfaces. The members can be attached to the chassis (14) and the cab (12) at an early stage in the assembly, thereby allowing a saving in time and thus assembly costs.

  • Publication number: 20060005530
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising gratings, which are used to form a reverse flow from a jet engine thrust flow. The inventive device comprises a plurality of flow diverter gratings which are disposed side-by-side at the outer edge of an annular thrust flow circulation channel. Each of the gratings comprises a plurality of intersecting inner transverse blades and inner longitudinal blades, two adjacent gratings being separated by a side clearance which generates a leakage flow. The device also comprises means of re-directing the aforementioned leakage flow in a direction such as to increase the effectiveness of the reverse flow, said re-direction means comprising aerodynamic appendages which are mounted to at least one outer longitudinal edge of each grating.
