  • Patent number: 4735272
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for the suspension of a forwardly tippable cab on a vehicle frame with at least one spring means and one movement restrainer arranged between the cab and the frame, said spring means being adapted to absorb the oscillations of the cab and the restrainer being adapted for restricting the vertical movement of the cab relative the frame.When tipping the cab on the kind of vehicle mentioned above, the center of gravity of the cab is moved, whereby the weight of the cab is successively transferred to the spring means. The latter then contracts and the necessary play between the vehicle drive unit and lower portions of the cab necessary for tipping the cab decreases, resulting in that the cab can collide with the drive unit.

  • Patent number: 4195883
    Abstract: A vehicle seat is carried on a frame which is pivotably mounted on a base frame that is secured to the vehicle floor. The seat can pivot around an axis that is essentially horizontal and transverse to the vehicle direction of travel. There is provided at least one damping element for damping pivotations around said axis. In this way disturbing thrusts transferred to the back of a person via the back support portion of the seat are eliminated.
