Cabin-like cover especially for covering a machine

Claim 2

A cabin-like cover, especially for covering a machine, including a base frame (1) and wall elements (2) mounted on said base frame in a modular system, characterized by the following features: (a) said wall elements characterized by having been formed of sheet material and shaped by bending, each of said wall elements including an L-shaped lower portion (7) for mounting on said base frame (1) of the cabin-like cover, said L-shaped lower portion comprising a first portion for positioning atop said base frame and a second portion depending from said first portion for engaging a side portion of said base frame; (b) said wall elements including at their side edges vertical bends (2a, 2'a) juxtaposed vertical bends of the adjacent wall elements; and (c) adjacent wall elements being connected to one another by fastener means securing said vertical bends to one another.

Claim 3

The cabin-like cover as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said vertical bends (2a, 2'a) of adjacent wall elements (2, 2') are releasably connected to one another by means of a bar (10, 10', 10") which engages over them.

Claim 4

The cabin-like cover as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that sealing elements (11a, 11b) are provided between said vertical bends (2a, 2'a) and said bar (10") which engages over them.

Claim 5

The cabin-like cover as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that a sealing element (9) is provided between said vertical bends (2a, 2'a) of adjacent wall elements (2, 2').

Claim 6

The cabin-like cover as claimed in claim 2 characterized in that said bar (10) is produced from springy material and releasably connects said vertical bends (2a, 2'a) of adjacent wall elements (2, 2").

Claim 7

The cabin-like cover (Cabin) as claimed in claim 4 characterized in that the bends (2a, 2'a) are provided with a profile (2c, 2c') forming a recess, a sealing element (9) positioned in said recess, and the bar (10) being of complementary construction to the bends.

Claim 8

The cabin-like cover as claimed in claim 2 characterized in that the bar (10') is at the same time constructed as a sealing element.

Claim 9

The cabin-like cover as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that each wall element (2) has a bend (2b) which is U-shaped in cross-section and open towards the exterior and the adjacent wall element (2') engages with a simple 90° bend (2'a) in this U-shaped bend.

Claim 10

The cabin-like cover as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the bends (2a, 2'a) of adjacent wall elements (2, 2') are connected to one another by screwing, riveting or welding together.

Claim 11

The cabin-like cover as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the wall elements (2) have on their upper edge a Z-shaped bend (8) which serves to support a roof element (3).

Claim 12

A cabin-like cover for covering a machine or the like including a base frame and wall elements mounted on said base frame, said base frame including a vertical panel, an upper lateral section extending horizontally from an upper portion of said panel and a flange member extending downwardly from said upper lateral section, said wall elements formed of sheet material characterized by having been bent to form their shape and each of said wall elements including a vertical panel, an L-shaped bend formed along the lower portion of each vertical panel, said L-shaped bend having a shape complementary to said base frame upper lateral section and said base frame flange member, said L-shaped bend including a horizontal leg positioned in abutment with said upper lateral section of said base frame and a downwardly extending lip positioned adjacent said base frame flange member, said wall elements further including a horizontally extending Z-shaped bend formed along the upper edge thereof comprising an upper horizontal section extending from the upper portion of said vertical panel, a descending section extending downwardly from said upper horizontal section, and a flange extending laterally from said descending section, and connector means attached to said base frame and said wall elements for securing the lower portion of said wall elements to said base frame.

Claim 13

A cabin-like cover for covering a machine or the like including a base frame and wall elements mounted on said base frame, said base frame including a vertical panel, an upper lateral section extending horizontally from an upper portion of said panel and a flange member extending downwardly from said upper lateral section, said wall elements formed of sheet material characterized by having been bent to form their shape and each of said wall elements including a vertical panel, an L-shaped bend formed along the lower portion of each vertical panel, said L-shaped bend having a shape complementary to said base frame upper lateral section and said base frame flange member, said L-shaped bend including a horizontal leg positioned in abutment with said upper lateral section of said base frame and a downwardly extending lip positioned adjacent said base frame flange member, said wall elements further including a horizontally extending Z-shaped bend formed along the upper edge thereof comprising an upper horizontal section extending from the upper portion of said vertical panel, a descending section extending downwardly from said upper horizontal section, and a flange extending laterally from said descending section, and connector means attached to said base frame and said wall elements for securing the lower portion of said wall elements to said base frame.
