<p>The invention provides a tilting device (5) for a vehicle having a tiltable cab (3), comprising a piston cylinder device, one end of which is pivotally connected to the chassis (1) of the vehicle, whereas its other end is connected with the cab (3) through a guide arm (10) positioned in a plane perpendicular to the tilting axis (2), said guide arm having an engagement portion (13), that cooperates with a complementary shaped engagement portion (18) on the cab, in such a way, that the two engagement portions are out of engagement and allow a certain lost motion of the guide arm relative to the cab when the latter is in its rest or driving position, but progressively enter into mutual engagement when the cab is tilted from such position, whereby the guide arm becomes fixed relative to the cabin. The tilting device according to the invention distinguishes from the well-known devices in that the guide arm is flexible in its plane. <IMAGE></p> |
