  • Patent number: 7657841
    Abstract: A display device for a construction machine has a display switching means, output control means, operation detecting means, and display prohibiting means. The display switching means switches information displayed on a monitor placed in an operation cabin, where the switching is made to prevent display of unnecessary information on the monitor while the construction machine is performing work. The output control means selects display information recorded in information recording means and outputs the selected information to the monitor. The operation detecting means detects whether or not the construction machine is in a working state. When the operation detecting means detects that the construction machine is in the working state, display switching operation of the monitor is performed by the display switching means, and the display prohibiting means prohibits the display of specific information.

  • Patent number: 6582010
    Abstract: Front mount bases (14, 15) which are located at four corner portions under a cab (11) are constituted by base plates (14A, 15A) and fitting joint projections (14B, 15B), and rear mount bases (16, 17) are constituted by base plates (16A, 17A) and fitting joint projections (16B, 17B). On the other hand, front pillars (22, 23) to be erected on the front mount bases (14, 15) are provided with notched portions (22B, 23B) for fitting engagement with the fitting joint projections (14B, 15B), respectively. Rear pillars (24, 25) to be erected on the rear mount bases (16, 17) are provided with notched portions (24A, 25A) for fitting engagement with the fitting joint projections (16B, 17B). Accordingly, a weld can be formed along and between marginal edge portions around the fitting joint projections (14B, 15B, 16B, 17B) and notched portion (22B, 23B, 24A, 25A) in such a way as to increase the welding distance and to increase the strength of the welded joint portions.

  • Patent number: 6568746
    Abstract: A cab for construction machines includes left and right rear pillars constituted by steel pipes of a diversified shape, with inclined intermediate pillar portions between upright lower pillar portions and upper pillar portions whereby positions of the lower and upper pillar portions are shifted in the forward and rearward directions, respectively. Lower portions of the rear pillars are receded in the forward direction to provide a recessed space, while upper portions of the rear pillars are projected out in the rearward direction to provide a rear expansion space. Accordingly, for the purpose of downsizing the upper structure (2), front portions of equipment, including an engine, can be accommodated in the recessed space and the rear expansion space contributes to broaden a space within the cab.

  • Publication number: 20020149232
    Abstract: Left and right rear pillars (34, 35) are constituted by steel pipes of a diversified shape, with inclined intermediate pillar portions (34B, 35B) between upright lower pillar portions (34A, 35A) and upper pillar portions (34C, 35C) to have positions of the lower and upper pillar portions shifted in the forward and rearward directions, respectively. Lower portions of the rear pillars (34, 35) are receded in the forward direction to provide a recessed space (59), while upper portions of the rear pillars (34, 35) are projected out in the rearward direction to provide a rear expansion space (60). Accordingly, for the purpose of downsizing the upper structure (2), front portions of equipments including an engine (6) can be accommodated in the recessed space (59). On the other hand, the rear expansion space (60) contributes to broaden a dwelling room within the cab (21) and to improve its amenity.
