Abstract

Stabilizer for a lower link of a three-point hitch of a tractor, comprising a first stabilizer member and a second stabilizer member connected to the first stabilizer member by a spring mechanism which allows a longitudinal movement between the stabilizer members, wherein the overall length of the stabilizer is adjustable by rotating the stabilizer members against each other. Furthermore, a blocking means is connected to the first stabilizer member, wherein the blocking means can be moved into a closed position in which a longitudinal movement between the stabilizer members is restricted. The first stabilizer member comprises a rotation-symmetric locking collar which engages the blocking means in the closed position such in that a longitudinal movement between the stabilizer members is disabled, wherein a rotation between the stabilizer members is lockable by a safety means, wherein the safety means comprises a spring clip engaging a recess formed in the circumference of the locking collar.

Abstract

A restraint system (1) for a driver of a vehicle (2) has at least one protection bar (8) arranged laterally next to a driver's seat. Said protection bar (8) is pivotable between an approximately vertical release position (10) and an approximately horizontal restraint position (9) about an approximately horizontal axis (7) running transversely with respect to the longitudinal extent of the vehicle. In order to obtain a simple and cost-effective construction, at least one motor (11) which is mounted at both ends in joints (12) acts between the protective bar (8) and a vehicle-mounted part. The mutual distance between the joints (12) is adjustable by the motor in order to enable the protection bar (8) to pivot between the release position (10) and the restraint position (9).
