Abstract
Abstract A sealing means on a vehicle cab for force and motion transmitting members between the control levers in the cab and the control devices external of the cab. The force and motion transmitting members or energy transmitting members are connected to the controls and extend through an opening in the corner of one of the cab walls and the floor. A carrier plate having slots receives the cables or wires and a plate having a deformable layer is clamped between the cover plate and the carrier plate to form an airtight seal around the cables or wires thereby closing the opening in the wall and floor and providing an airtight seal and a thermal insulating medium as well as a sound dampening device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around a control means extending through a cab wall comprising, a vehicle cab defining an opening, control means mounted within the cab for generating a control signal, at least one signal transmitting control member connected to said control means and extending through the opening in the cab wall, a cover plate, a carrier plate for supporting said signal transmitting control member on said cab wall, a deformable sealing medium disposed around said signal transmitting member and positioned between said cover plate and said carrier plate on said cab wall, fastening means fastening said cover plate on said cab wall and compressively forming a seal by forcing said sealing medium around said signal transmitting member and between said cover plate and said carrier plate on said wall to close said opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around a control means extending through a cab wall comprising, a vehicle cab defining an opening, control means mounted within the cab for generating a control signal, at least one signal transmitting control member connected to said control means and extending through the opening in the cab wall, a cover plate, a carrier plate for supporting said signal transmitting control member on said cab wall, a deformable sealing medium disposed around said signal transmitting member and positioned between said cover plate and said carrier plate on said cab wall, fastening means fastening said cover plate on said cab wall and compressively forming a seal by forcing said sealing medium around said signal transmitting member and between said cover plate and said carrier plate on said wall to close said opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around the control means extending through a cab wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein said signal generating means defines a shift lever generating a force and motion transmitting signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around control means extending through a cab wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein said control member defines a sheathed cable.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around control means extending through the cab wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein said control member defines electrical wiring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around control means extending through a cab wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein said signal generating means defines a power shift transmission lever.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around control means extending through a cab wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein said sealing means defines low permeability material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around control means extending through a cab wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein said sealing medium defines a thermal insulator.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around control means extending through a cab wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein the sealing medium includes a low permeability foam and said carrier plate defines a neoprene member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
39 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around control means extending through a cab wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein said cab defines a hole at a corner between the floor and wall which forms an obtuse angle.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
100 words
A vehicle cab having sealing means around control means extending through a cab wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein said cab defines an opening at the corner of the cab defined by the lower end of a wall and the floor of said cab, a plate defining an obtuse angle wherein said plate bears against a portion of the floor of said cab and said plate bears against a portion of said wall to thereby cover said opening at the corner of said cab and provide a sealing means for sealing around said members extending through said wall.
