Abstract

A canopy ( 23 ) is provided to rise in an upper revolving structure ( 3 ) for covering an upper side of an operator's seat ( 19 ). A bend portion ( 25 B) extending in the left-right direction and projecting upward is provided in a front end side of a roof plate ( 25 ) in the canopy ( 23 ). A plate-shaped left front lifting bracket ( 26 ) is provided in a left front connecting portion ( 24 J), and a plate-shaped right front lifting bracket ( 27 ) is provided in a right front connecting portion ( 24 L). The left and right front lifting brackets ( 26, 27 ) sandwich the bend portion ( 25 B) from both sides in the left-right direction. Further, the left and right front lifting brackets ( 26, 27 ) are provided with lifting holes ( 26 A, 27 A) and also discharging notches ( 26 B, 27 B).

Claims (21)

1. A construction machine comprising:

an auto-motive vehicle body ( 2 , 3 ) in a front portion side of which a working mechanism ( 4 ) is provided;

an operator's seat ( 19 ) provided in said vehicle body ( 2 , 3 ) for an operator to sit on; and

a canopy ( 23 ) provided to rise in said vehicle body ( 2 , 3 ) to cover an upper side of said operator's seat ( 19 ),

wherein said canopy ( 23 ) comprises:

a left front column ( 24 A) provided to rise in a left front side of said operator's seat ( 19 );

a right front column ( 24 B) provided to rise in a right front side of said operator's seat ( 19 );

a left rear column ( 24 C) provided to rise in a left rear side of said operator's seat ( 19 );

a right rear column ( 24 D) provided to rise in a right rear side of said operator's seat ( 19 );

a left connecting beam ( 24 E) extending in the front-rear direction to connect said left front column ( 24 A) and said left rear column ( 24 C);

a right connecting beam ( 24 F) extending in the front-rear direction to connect said right front column ( 24 B) and said right rear column ( 24 D); and

a roof plate ( 25 ) provided between said left connecting beam ( 24 E) and said right connecting beam ( 24 F) to extend in the front-rear direction for covering the upper side of said operator's seat ( 19 ), characterized in that;

a bend portion ( 25 B) is provided in a front end side of said roof plate ( 25 ) to extend in the left-right direction and project upward between a left connecting portion ( 24 J) connecting said left front column ( 24 A) and said left connecting beam ( 24 E) and a right connecting portion ( 24 L) connecting said right front column ( 24 B) and said right connecting beam ( 24 F),

plate-shaped lifting brackets ( 26 , 27 ) are respectively provided in a position of said left connecting portion ( 24 J) and in a position of said right connecting portion ( 24 L) to sandwich said bend portion ( 25 B) from both sides in the left-right direction, and

a discharging notch ( 26 B, 27 B) is provided in at least one of said left lifting bracket ( 26 ) and said right lifting bracket ( 27 ) to a section thereof corresponding to said bend portion ( 25 B) of said roof plate ( 25 ).

2. A construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein an upper end ( 26 C, 27 C) of said lifting bracket ( 26 , 27 ) projects upward more than a flat portion ( 25 A) of said roof plate ( 25 ), and

said notch ( 26 B, 27 B) is formed by notching said lifting bracket ( 26 , 27 ) from said upper end ( 26 C, 27 C) thereof to said flat portion ( 25 A) of said roof plate ( 25 ).

3. A construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom portion ( 26 B 1 , 27 B 1 ) of said notch ( 26 B, 27 B) is notched to the lower side position than a top surface ( 25 A 1 ) of said flat portion ( 25 A) in said roof plate ( 25 ).

4. A construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein said left lifting bracket ( 26 ) and said right lifting bracket ( 27 ) are provided with lifting holes ( 26 A, 27 A) for mounting a lifting tool ( 28 ) in positions thereof closer to a front side than said bend portion ( 25 B),

said bend portion ( 25 B) is inclined obliquely backward to said roof plate ( 25 ), and

an angle (α) between said bend portion ( 25 B) and said flat portion ( 25 A) of said roof plate ( 25 ) is set to be an acute angle.
