  • Vehicle cab tilt apparatus
    Patent number: 9193396
    Abstract: A vehicle comprises a frame, a cab, a viscous mount, and a pin. The frame comprises a first pin receptor. The cab comprises a second pin receptor. The viscous mount comprises a third pin receptor and a frame mount. The frame mount is connected to the frame. The third pin receptor is movable within a limited range relative to the frame mount. The pin is received by the first pin receptor, the second pin receptor, and the third pin receptor and defines a tilt axis about which the cab may rotate relative to the frame. A clearance between the pin and the first pin receptor is greater than a clearance between the pin and the second pin receptor and a clearance between the pin and the third pin receptor.

  • Cab tilt with multifunction flag pin and locking cylinder
    Patent number: 8448735
    Abstract: An operator cab for a work vehicle is releasably mounted to a frame of the vehicle via a cab support pin and a flexible mount during vehicle work operations and rotationally attached via the cab support pin for servicing working parts of the work vehicle. A locking cylinder having an end pivotally connected to the cab allows movement of the pivotal connection relative to the cylinder, i.e., allows the cab to move relative to the frame as the flexible mount allows, during work operations. When the cylinder lifts the cab for servicing, movement of the pivotal connection relative to the cylinder is restricted.
