Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 It is a cut-away perspective view of the truck cab 10. The cab 10 has a housing including components welded together. Depicted at the top is the roof member 20, which extends across the cab 10, ie perpendicular to the driving direction 100 of the cab. The roof member 20 extends between two substantially horizontal upper longitudinal members. Extending parallel to this longitudinal member are two lower longitudinal members, which on the lower side in the section shown define the upper part of the door opening. The front part of such a door hole in the direction of travel 100 is bounded by a substantially vertical windshield member 30.

[0025] figure 1 Also shown is a roof shelf 40 located in the upper front part of the cab 10 above a windshield not depicted. The roof shelf 40 includes a frame structure 50 and a plurality of panels 60. The frame structure 50 is fixed to the members 20, 30 of the cab. As clearly depicted, the frame structure 50 spans the cab an...

Abstract

The invention relates to a roof rack (40) for a vehicle cab (10) comprising upper and side housing parts (20, 30). The shelf (40) comprises a frame structure (50) formed from a bar element configuration (70, 80, 90a-d) and arranged to be fixed to a housing part (20, 30) of the cab (10) , and the shelf includes at least one panel element (60) arranged to be supported by the frame structure (50). The object of the present invention is to propose a roof rack with a high load-bearing capacity and a durable shape, regardless of load and temperature. The shelf should include a small number of load bearing parts, be easy to manufacture and fit, and be flexible to change. The invention furthermore relates to a vehicle cab with a roof rack as described above, and to a vehicle with such a cab.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a roof rack for a vehicle cab. Background technique [0002] The cab in a truck usually has a roof shelf above the windshield to accommodate storage compartments and miscellaneous equipment such as microwave ovens. [0003] Traditional roof racks for cabs are mainly composed of self-supporting plastic parts, some of which are fixed to the cab housing to support the roof racks. The disadvantage of the load-bearing structure made of plastic is that its shape changes over time, especially at high temperatures. Furthermore, this structure has limited supporting capacity. Conventional plastic roof racks consist of multiple parts joined together, resulting in long tolerance chains, time-consuming assembly work, and high heights where changes are involved to adapt the roof rack to the new cab or change its design. cost. [0004] Other traditional roof racks include not only plastic parts but also load-bearing metal plate structures. This ...
