Abstract

A cab for a construction machine is provided which is capable of providing a protective space to protect the operator from injury even if a transversely working external force is imposed on the cab, causing deformation of the cab. To this end, a transverse member, which is disposed at a position above an operator's seat and constitutes the framework of the cab, has a deformation inducing part located at a position outside the projected area of the central part of the operator's seat. Even if the cab is deformed by an external force, the cab is not largely deformed in a direction toward the operator.
