ABSTRACT:
A suspension system for an operator's compartment of a mine vehicle. The mine vehicle is of the type having a body wherein the operator's compartment is floatingly supporting on the body adjacent one side thereof for riding on the mine floor as the vehicle moves in the mine. The suspension system includes a vertical guide secured to the body for supporting and guiding rollers which are mounted on the compartment. A chain and sheave arrangement is connected between the vehicle body and the operator's compartment and acts to simultaneously lift both ends of the vehicle compartment in response to vertical forces developed between the mine floor and any point on the operator's compartment. The chain sheave arrangement acts to lift each end of the operator's compartment the same vertical distance with respect to the body thereby keeping the compartment level with respect to the body at all times.
