Abstract

A construction machine is provided that has an operating platform, an access for entering the operating platform, a roof and an access control. The roof is disposed on a height-adjustable rack structure that can be actuated manually or by means of a drive in order to set the roof from an upper operating position to a lower transport position and vice versa. In this process, the access protection is moved from a storage position to a functional position in which the access to the operating platform is blocked by the access control.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A construction machine comprising:
an operating platform that has lateral delimitations, an access for entering the operating platform, a roof and a height-adjustable rack structure that carries the roof, wherein the roof is adjustable from an upper operating position to a lower transport position and vice versa; and
an access control installed on the roof and/or the rack structure, the access control being formed as a planar element and configured to reversibly take on a storage position, which is adjacent to the roof, and a functional position that is spaced farther away from the roof and in which the access to the operating platform is blocked by the access control, wherein the roof is adjustable to the lower transport position with the access control located at the functional position.

2. The construction machine according to claim 1 wherein the construction machine is a road paver or a feeder vehicle.

3. The construction machine according to claim 1 wherein the roof is formed in a planar way and the access control in the storage position is arranged essentially in parallel to the roof.

4. The construction machine according to claim 1 wherein the roof is formed in a planar way and the access control in the functional position is arranged essentially in a perpendicular direction to the roof.

5. The construction machine according to claim 1 wherein the access control in the storage position is essentially arranged in a horizontal way.

6. The construction machine according to claim 1 wherein the access control in the storage position is stored in a way as to be removable from the roof.

7. The construction machine according to claim 1 wherein the access control is articulatable around a hinge in order to be swiveled from the storage position into the functional position and vice versa.

8. The construction machine according to claim 7 wherein the access control is braced on the roof and/or the rack structure in such a way that it can automatically perform a position change with respectively one upward or downward movement of the roof.

9. The construction machine according to claim 1 further comprising a hydraulic or electric drive for moving the roof and/or the access control.

10. The construction machine according to claim 9 further comprising an operating element, which is suitable to control the drive for moving the roof and/or the access control, arranged outside of the operating platform on the construction machine.

11. The construction machine according to claim 10 wherein the operating element is formed as a remote control that can be detached from a portion of the construction machine.

12. The construction machine according to claim 1 further comprising a mechanism to be actuated manually for moving the roof and/or the access control.

13. The construction machine according to claim 1 wherein the access control is formed as a closed surface or a lattice structure.

14. The construction machine of claim 13 wherein the access control comprises metal, steel, plastic or composite material.

15. The construction machine according to claim 1 further comprising a hydraulic or electric drive for moving the roof and/or the access control, and a locking mechanism configured to lock an actuation of the drive.

16. The construction machine according to claim 1 further comprising a locking device disposed on the access control.

17. The construction machine according to claim 1 wherein the access control is formed as a roller blind system.

18. The construction machine according to claim 1 wherein the access control is formed as a swing system.

19. A construction machine comprising:
an operating platform having lateral delimitations and an access for entering the operating platform;
a roof that extends over the operating platform;
a height-adjustable rack structure that carries the roof, the rack structure being configured to adjust the roof between an upper operating position and a lower transport position; and
an access control installed on the roof and/or the rack structure, wherein the access control is formed as a planar element and is configured to reversibly take on a storage position in which the access control is positioned adjacent to the roof, and a functional position in which the access control is spaced farther away from the roof for blocking the access to the operating platform, wherein the roof is adjustable to the lower transport position with the access control located at the functional position, and wherein the roof is formed in a planar way and the access control in the functional position is arranged at an angle of 75° to 105° with respect to the roof.

20. A construction machine comprising:
an operating platform that has lateral delimitations, an access for entering the operating platform, a roof and a height-adjustable rack structure that carries the roof, wherein the roof is adjustable from an upper operating position to a lower transport position and vice versa; and
an access control installed on the roof and/or the rack structure, the access control being formed as a planar element and configured to reversibly take on a storage position, which is adjacent to the roof, and a functional position that is spaced farther away from the roof and in which the access to the operating platform is blocked by the access control, wherein the roof is adjustable to the lower transport position with the access control located at the functional position, and wherein the access control in the functional position is essentially arranged in a vertical way.
