Abstract
A sidescreen for the cab of a work vehicle, such as a skid steer loader, is formed by punching out openings in a sheet of metal, leaving strips or webs between the openings. The openings are arranged in generally vertical and horizontal rows, and a high percentage of the area is open for visibility in the sidescreen regions. The strips between the openings have ribs formed across the width of the strips to reduce sheet bowing, or “oil can” shape. The ribs are formed in a first direction for the plane of the screen on the vertical strips, and in a second opposite direction from the plane of the screen on the horizontal strips. This provides a flatness control for the formed screen.
Description
- The present invention relates to a cab side opening screen used on vehicles, such as a skid steer loader or similar vehicles, where a rollover protection cab is provided that has side openings over which screens are placed. The screens generally are made of a metal panel that is relatively thin and which has punched out rhombus holes with narrow webs or strips of material between the holes. In accordance with the present invention ribs are formed in the webs or strips to flatten the screens after punching the opening and reduce distortion and the “oil can” effect of the sidescreens.
- Skid steer loaders have for many years utilized rollover protection type cabs that provide an overhead frame, and with screens or grates on side opening that provide operator visibility and that afford protection.
- This type of screen is shown in various skid steer loader patents, for example, in design patents DES419,568 and DES317,926.
- U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,189,954 and 6,382,711 and U.S. patent application publication US2001/0008346 show the use of this type of sheet metal sidescreen or grate with stationary window assemblies that are attached to the screen. The side window assemblies in these two patents and the publication do not slide relative to the screens, but in some cases it is desirable to have windows which can open by sliding a window section relative to the sidescreens or grates. Problems can arise if the screens or grills are not flat or which are bent, distorted or “oil canned”. Binding of the window sliding relative to the grill or sidescreen can occur.
- The present invention relates to a sidescreen or grate for a cab on a work vehicle that is formed from a metal panel or sheet with sufficient openings formed (punched) therethrough to permit the operator to see through it, but yet provide protection. The grills or screens are generally formed by punching rhomboid-shaped openings or apertures, about 2 inches by 2 inches in size, in a metal sheet, leaving an integral matrix or network of intersecting steel strips or webs surrounding the openings.
- The webs extend vertically and horizontally, and according to the present invention, a majority of the webs are die formed to have ribs across the narrow dimension of the webs or strips. The ribs are formed about in the center of the length of each web or strip. The forming of the ribs relieves stresses that are unavoidable when punching out openings that provide a high percentage of open space. After punching the openings in a side panel, the panel can be curved substantially from a plane.
- The webs can be formed to be thinner in lateral width than is presently done using he teachings of the present invention. That means that visibility through the openings is increased, since there would be a larger percentage of open space in the sheet remaining after punching out the openings. The sidescreen warp will also be overcome so it will be flat after forming the ribs.
- The controlled sidescreen flatness as a result of forming ribs in the individual strips or webs between the openings, in both vertical and horizontal directions, insures that sliding windows adjacent the screen are more easily accommodated.
- The ribs are easily formed in a stamping operation, using a suitable die. Forming the ribs on the horizontal webs in one direction perpendicular to the plane of the sidescreen (inwardly) and forming the ribs in the vertical webs in the other direction perpendicular to the plane of the sidescreen (outwardly), also aids in insuring a flat screen.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a typical skid steer loader comprising an industrial work vehicle having a sidescreen made according to the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a side view of an industrial work vehicle cab, as shown, a skid steer loader cab, having a sidescreen made according to the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is an exaggerated, schematic representation of the curved or oil can shape of a sidescreen after punching openings in a panel and before adding the ribs of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line 4-4 inFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken as on line 5-S inFIG. 2 ; and -
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a typical forming die used to form the ribs of the present invention in the webs between the openings. - By way of background,
FIG. 1 shows askid steer loader 10 of conventional design that includes aframe 12, mounted onwheels 14 that are driven through a suitable power train, such as hydraulic motors that in turn are driven from pumps. The pumps are driven from anengine 16 mounted in anengine compartment 18 that is to the rear of an operator's cab orenclosure 20. The operator's cab is entered and exited from the front indicated at 22.Sidescreens 24 are provided along the sides of the cab, that provide visibility and protection. The cab includes arollover protection framework 26, as is common for an industrial work vehicle. - The loader shown has pivoting
arms 27 that can be raised and lowered under power by operating hydraulic cylinders 28 in a normal manner. Abucket 29 or other tool is supported on thearms 27. -
FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view of thecab 26 showing atypical sidescreen 24. As can be seen, thesidescreen 24 is made with a plurality of rhomboid shaped openings indicated generally at 30, that are punched out of a panel orsheet 32 of metal which has solid webs or strips surrounding theopenings 30. Theseopenings 30 are formed in rows that are aligned generally horizontally, and also that are aligned in uprightly direction, slightly inclined from vertical lines. - The formation of the
openings 30 in the individual rows will leave a series of parallel upright (called vertical) webs orstrips 34, and a plurality of generally horizontal strips orwebs 36. Thus each of theopenings 30 is surrounded by two strips orwebs 34 and two strips orwebs 36, except for the openings that are at the edges, where aflange 38 of material is at the outer edge of theopenings forming sidescreen 24. - The panel from which these sidescreens are made is generally in the range of 0.125 inches thick, although that thickness can vary as needed. The material generally is a mild steel that can be die formed and punched. Side screens having laser cut openings also are made, and material type and material thicknesses can vary when that manufacturing technique is used. The panel material is capable of permitting the
openings 30 to be formed in a suitable manner. - The conventional sidescreens are generally distorted or warped, and not flat, after punching or forming the
openings 30 defined bystrips FIG. 3 is an exaggerated illustrative side view of asidescreen 31 after punching openings, to illustrate the bowing or “oil can” effect. The sidescreen will curl from internal stresses, caused by punching the openings. In actual practice, the total distortion or bowing of a free edge of a punched opening sidescreen can be six inches or so with one edge of the screen held on a floor surface. - The present invention includes another step in forming the sidescreens, to provide a transverse or upset rib in a plurality, preferably a substantial number, such as most of the webs or
strips -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken through the verticalmetal web strips 34, across twoopenings 30. As can be seen, the specific horizontal strips indicated at 36A and 36B inFIG. 4 (and all the other strips as desired) are formed withribs 44, specificallyribs double arrow 46. This depth of the upset or formed rib is illustratively in the range of between 0.040 to 0.080 inches, with a preferred offset of about 0.063 using the 0.125 inch thick material. The depth of upset of displacement of the ribs, and the forming radius will be varied, depending on the material composition, the thickness and the process used for forming the openings. The depths of the ribs is the distance from the top of the rib to the surface of the web from which it was formed, as indicated bydouble arrows 46. - The
ribs 44 extend across the width or lateral dimension of each one of a selected number or all of the webs orstrips 36. Thestrips 36 are formed so theribs 44 extend outwardly in a first direction perpendicular to the plane of thepanel 32. As shown, theribs 44 extend inwardly into the plane of the paper. -
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken across three of thestrips 36, to show a view of ribs 50, as shown,ribs strips 34. Theseribs strips 34, as shownstrips ribs 44. In other words, the ribs 50 are formed out of the plane of the paper inFIG. 2 , and outwardly from the interior of the screen and cab. Again, the distance of offset of theribs double arrow 46 and is preferably the same offset amount asribs 44. The rib offset of the ribs in the horizontal webs can be different from the rib offset of the ribs in the vertical webs, as well. - The
ribs 44 are preferably provided in substantially all, of thewebs 36. Likewise, substantially all of thewebs 34 have ribs 50. - The number of rows or lines of the ribs in each of the vertical or horizontal directions is a sufficient plurality to restore the side screen to a generally flat condition. Thus the selected number of webs or strips having the ribs is enough so the side screen remains generally flat.
-
FIG. 6 is a view of a typical forming die for the ribs that includes afirst punch member 70 and asecond die member 72 in which a panel or sheet ofmaterial 74, which will become the sidescreen is positioned. Thedie 72 has arecess 76, and apunch end 78 inpunch member 70 is used to form a rib. Thepunch member 78 has an end formed in a radius selected to provide a desired inner radius of the rib. The formed rib is indicated at 80 inFIG. 6 and is formed out of the screen orpanel material 74. The ribs can be formed in each of the vertical or horizontal sections, and all of the ribs can be die formed at one time. - Forming the ribs causes the panel to become flat and the formation of the ribs or upsets results in the sidescreen staying flat. The
openings 30 can be made larger when the webs are provided with the formed ribs as compared to the needed with of the webs without the ribs. Thus, there is a greater percentage of open space in the side screen. The greater amount of open space that aids in visibility, while the screens are kept flat using the present invention. - Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
