Cab suspension for a tiltable cab of a commercial vehicle
The present disclosure relates to a cab suspension for a tiltable cab of a commercial vehicle, preferably a front cab-suspension. The cab suspension includes two brackets for mounting on a frame construction of the commercial vehicle in a manner fixed to the frame, a vibration construction for damping movements of the cab while the commercial vehicle is travelling, wherein the vibration construction has two lateral bearing portions and a cross-element connecting the bearing portions, and a torsion-bar construction for tilting the cab. The cab suspension is particularly notable in that the brackets have a ramp structure along which the vibration construction may be guided backwards and upwards in the event of a frontal collision and/or the vibration construction and the torsion-bar construction are functionally separate from one another.

Longitudinal Member for a Heavy Goods Vehicle
A longitudinal member is provided. The longitudinal member includes a front end provided with a hinge element for attaching the longitudinal member in an articulated manner to a heavy goods vehicle body, and a rear end including an attachment element for attaching the longitudinal member in a non-permanent manner to the heavy goods vehicle body. The longitudinal member includes a front part extending from the front end to an intermediate area of the longitudinal member and a rear part extending from the intermediate area to the rear end of the longitudinal member. The product (P.sub.F) of the wall thickness (t.sub.F) of the front part by the yield strength (Ys.sub.F) of the material of the front part is greater than the product (P.sub.R) of the wall thickness (t.sub.R) of the rear part by the yield strength (Ys.sub.R) of the material of the rear part.

VEHICLE CAB TILT APPARATUS
A vehicle is disclosed which includes a frame with a viscous isolator, a first pin receptor, a retainer, a cab, and a pin. The first pin receptor includes a base portion mounted to the viscous isolator and a top portion movable within a limited range relative to the frame. The retainer is detachably mounted to the frame such that the top portion of the first pin receptor protruding through an aperture in the retainer, and the base portion of the first pin receptor is below the aperture. A pin is received by the top portion of the first pin receptor and a second pin receptor included in a cab, rendering the cab tiltable relative to the frame about the pin. The aperture of the retainer and the base portion of the first pin receptor are each configured such that the base portion cannot pass through the aperture.

Agricultural vehicle having a pivotable cab
An agricultural machine, preferably a combine harvester, which has a pivoting vehicle cab. The cab is pivotable relative to the main frame of the machine, about an axis of rotation transverse to the direction of travel of the machine. The cab is pivoted to allow an operator to view a front coupling of the machine, to observe the attaching or detaching of a work implement to the front coupling.
