Patent ID: 8430426

Claim:
A mounting device for connecting in a spaced-apart relation a suspended cab having a roll over protection structure to an agricultural tractor chassis comprising: a first limiter connected to the cab for movement therewith, the first limiter having a first end portion disposed adjacent to the cab, a first perimeter wall extending generally perpendicular from the first end portion toward the chassis for a first length, the first perimeter wall surrounding a first interior region arranged along an axis; and a second limiter connected to the chassis for movement therewith, the second limiter having a second end portion disposed adjacent to the chassis, a second perimeter wall extending generally perpendicular from the second end portion toward the cab for a second length, the second perimeter wall surrounding a second interior region arranged generally along the axis, the second perimeter wall positioned to extend-into the first interior region and create an annular space between the first and the second perimeter walls, a retainer positioned axially through the first and second limiters and having a first end positioned beyond the first end portion of the first limiter and a second end positioned beyond the second end portion of the second limiter to secure the first end portion and the second end portion of the first and second limiters from extending past first and second ends of the retainer such that the retainer permits at least axial movement of the first and second limiters while preventing axial separation thereof, wherein the annular space between the first perimeter wall and the second perimeter wall permits limited lateral movement of the first and second limiters and the retainer, the lateral movement limited by contact of the first perimeter wall with the second perimeter wall, and wherein the retainer and the annular space between the perimeter walls of the first and second limiters cooperate together to permit axial and lateral movement of the first and the second limiters.
