Abstract

Mobile apparatus comprising a main frame (2), a sub-frame (1) connected rotatably to the main frame and an operating arm connected to the sub-frame, wherein the sub-frame is provided with a seating or standing location for a driver, operating instruments (4) controllable by a driver, and a bus system (5) connected to the operating instruments; wherein the main frame is provided with a lifting device (8) to which an implement (18) is connectable; wherein the mobile apparatus further comprises a drive (7, 17) for driving the lifting device and/or the implement, and a control unit (6, 16) connected to the bus system for controlling the drive on the basis of signals from the bus system; this such that the lifting device and/or the implement are controllable via the bus system using the operating instruments in the sub-frame.

Claims

1-29. -29. (canceled)

30. Mobile apparatus comprising:

a main frame; and

a sub-frame connected rotatably to the main frame and an operating arm connected to the sub-frame, wherein the sub-frame is provided with a seating or standing location for a driver, operating instruments controllable by a driver, and a bus system connected to the operating instruments;

wherein the main frame is provided with a lifting device to which an implement is connectable,

wherein the mobile apparatus further comprises a drive for driving the lifting device and/or the implement, and a control unit connected to the bus system for controlling the drive on the basis of signals from the bus system such that the lifting device and/or the implement are controllable via the bus system using the operating instruments in the sub-frame,

wherein the bus system runs from the sub-frame to the main frame, and

wherein an energy source or motor for displacing the mobile apparatus and a control unit therefor is arranged in the sub-frame or in the main frame and wherein said control unit is connected to the bus system.

31. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, further comprising a receiving module connected to the bus system and having an antenna configured to receive wireless signals and to convert said signals to bus signals, this such that the lifting device and/or the implement can be operated wirelessly, for instance using a remote control.

32. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, further comprising at least one sensor module configured to measure the functioning of the lighting and/or brakes of the mobile apparatus or of a trailer, which at least one sensor module is coupled to the bus system and configured to transmit signals with measurement values over the bus system.

33. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 32, further comprising warning means coupled to the bus system, the warning means being configured to warn a driver on the basis of the signals with measurement values from the at least one sensor module.

34. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, wherein the bus system is a vehicle bus system configured to communicate by means of a Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol.

35. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, wherein the control unit is provided in the sub-frame.

36. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, wherein the lifting device is of the three-point lifting device type.

37. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, wherein the drive of the implement comprises a rotating power take-off shaft.

38. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, wherein a slip ring configured to transfer signals from the bus system between the sub-frame and the main frame is provided between the main frame and the sub-frame.

39. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, wherein the sub-frame is provided with a transmitting/receiving device for wireless transfer between the sub-frame and the main frame of signals from the bus system.

40. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, wherein additional operating instruments for the lifting device and/or for the implement are provided on the main frame.

41. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 40, wherein the additional operating instruments for the lifting device and/or the implement are placed on a wing of a wheel or a caterpillar track or the main frame.

42. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, wherein the sub-frame is mounted on the main frame such that the rotation angle of the sub-frame relative to the main frame is 360 degrees or more, or that the rotation angle lies between 30 and 360 degrees.

43. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30 with a front side and a rear side related to a travel direction of the mobile apparatus, wherein the lifting device is provided on the front side or on the rear side of the main frame.

44. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, further comprising a trailer with lighting means connected to the main frame, wherein a control unit for controlling the lighting means is provided, the control unit being connected to the bus system.

46. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 30, wherein the lifting device is provided with a quick change system to which the implement is connectable.

47. Mobile apparatus as claimed in claim 46, wherein the quick change system is adjustable using positioning means, and that a quick change control unit connected to the bus system is provided which is configured to control the positioning means on the basis of signals from the bus system.

45. Mobile apparatus comprising:

a main frame; and

a sub-frame connected rotatably to the main frame and an operating arm connected to the sub-frame, wherein the sub-frame is provided with a seating or standing location for a driver, operating instruments controllable by a driver, and a bus system connected to the operating instruments,

wherein the main frame is provided with a lifting device to which an implement is connectable,

wherein the mobile apparatus further comprises a drive for driving the lifting device and/or the implement, and a control unit connected to the bus system for controlling the drive on the basis of signals from the bus system such that the lifting device and/or the implement are controllable via the bus system using the operating instruments in the sub-frame, and

said mobile apparatus further comprising a receiving module connected to the bus system and having an antenna configured to receive wireless signals and to convert said signals to bus signals, this such that the lifting device and/or the implement can be operated wirelessly, for instance using a remote control.

48. Mobile apparatus comprising:

a main frame; and

a sub-frame connected rotatably to the main frame and an operating arm connected to the sub-frame, wherein the sub-frame is provided with a seating or standing location for a driver, operating instruments controllable by a driver, and a bus system connected to the operating instruments,
