SAFARI GLASS
Top side view windows are canted between a vehicle cabin roof and sides along a length of the vehicle, truncating a corner between the roof and sides. The top side view windows may open outwardly from an interior of the cabin, and may open outwardly and upwardly similar to a safari windshield. Hinges and a latch allow movement of the top side view windows, with the latch securing the respective window in an open or closed position. The latch may include a strap with a flexible end wrapping around interior trim, optionally with a magnet at the tip to hold the flexible end in position when wrapped. A rigid portion of the strap holds the window when in the open position, and may include openings receiving protrusions from the interior trim or teeth engaging with a tip of a rachet cam.

Drive unit for an adjustment system of a motor vehicle, and method for operating a drive unit
A drive unit for an adjustment system for a motor vehicle has an adjustable element moved by an electric motor. The dive motor is operated electromagnetically. A magnetic field sensor is arranged on a pole pot or a housing of the drive motor to provide an electrical sensor signal dependent on a magnetic field. A control unit is configured to detect the magnetic field. The magnetic field varies on rotation of a rotor of the drive motor, so that a relative position change of the adjustable element can be derived from the electrical sensor signal.
Construction Machine, In Particular Ground Compaction Machine, Specifically Rubber-Tired Roller, Method For Operating A Construction Machine, And Method For Manufacturing A Construction Machine
The invention relates to a construction machine (1) with a machine frame (2), a driver cab (6) with a right and a left door-window unit (12) when viewed in a traveling direction (A) of the construction machine (1), wherein the door-window units (12) are adjustable between a closed and an open position, and with a drive engine (13) and front and rear traveling devices (4, 5). Essentially, the door-window units (12) can be opened in an opposite manner, in particular depending on the side of the machine frame (2) on which the front and rear traveling devices (4, 5) respectively sit flush with the machine frame (2). The invention is particularly relevant for ground compaction machines, in particular rubber-tired rollers. The invention further relates to a method for operating a construction machine (1) and a method for manufacturing a construction machine (1).

Window frame assembly, door assembly and window frame kit for a vehicle
A window frame assembly for a vehicle has a cage frame segment connectable to a roll cage, a door frame segment connectable to a door having a hinged end and an opening end such that its first end is disposed proximate the opening end and its second end is disposed proximate the hinged end, and a linking frame segment having a first end pivotable about a pivot axis for pivoting the linking and door frame segments relative to the cage frame segment and a second end movably connected to the door frame segment such that the linking frame segment moves relative to the door frame segment as the linking and door frame segments pivot about the pivot axis, the cage, door and linking frame segments together forming a frame. Door assemblies for vehicles, window frame kits for vehicles, and vehicles provided with same are also disclosed.

UTILITY TERRAIN VEHICLE DOOR ASSEMBLY
A utility task vehicle includes a vehicle body including an opening. A door is positioned adjacent the opening. The door is configured to pivot about a first axis between an open position and a closed position. A window assembly is positioned adjacent and operably coupled to the door. The window assembly is configured to pivot about a second axis between an open position and a closed position. Rotation of the window assembly about the second axis is driven by rotation of said door about the first axis. In combination, the door and the window assembly substantially seal the opening of the vehicle body.
