ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a cab roof for an agricultural combine. The invention consists of an outer roof. Affixed within the outer roof is a left inner roof, right inner roof and a headliner. The left inner roof contains a fresh air duct with a fresh air inlet for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit. The left inner roof also has three light pockets. Each pocket contains either a distance or flood light fixture. Each light pocket also contains a light shroud having a top lip and an elongated bottom lip. The elongated bottom lip prevents light from reflecting off the cab glass. The right inner roof is similarly designed. The headliner contains a pair of molded conditioned air ducts for smoothly transferring conditioned air to several side defrost vents and several front defrost vents. A mirror support bar passes through the left inner roof, headliner and right inner roof. The entire roof is secured to the cab by several bolts. The entire cab can be moved by replacing the bolts with removal bolts. A worker can assemble the roof components at `bench-level` without having to climb on top of the cab.
