Abstract: A sag bend portion is formed in a longitudinal part of the load beam and bent in a thickness direction. The load beam includes a first portion and a second portion bordering the sag bend portion. Roots of outrigger portions are secured to the load beam by weld portions. A slit portion is formed around each of the weld portions. The slit portion includes an arc-shaped slit and a pair of extension slits. An outrigger support portion is formed inside the slit portion. The outrigger support portion extends in a direction different from that of the second portion of the load beam with respect to a cross section along the longitudinal direction of the load beam in the thickness direction.

Abstract: The system accepts an operation to be carried out to virtually install installation objects on a water surface, acquires positional information about each point, and creates course data of a course passing through areas to be determined on the basis of installation positions of the installation objects in the order of installation. The system installs installation objects as buoys, creates a guide image to be used to indicate a buoy to be passed next and a direction from the buoy to be passed next to a buoy to be passed further next by using the course data while intending the guide image for a user of a boat configured to travel along the course on the water surface, and displays the created guide image on a display unit arranged on a hull of the boat.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a hollow coil spring which is made of a hollow wire in which a terminal sealed portion is formed on an end portion of the wire. The terminal sealed portion has a rotationally symmetric shape in which an axis passing through the center of the wire is the symmetric axis. The hollow coil spring includes an end wall portion, and an end face arc-shaped curved surface. The end wall portion includes an end face perpendicular to the axis. A distal-end-center closure portion is formed on the axis at the center of the end wall portion. A spring seat includes a base member and a sheet member. An end turn portion of the hollow coil spring is in contact with the sheet member. The end face of the end turn portion is opposed to a stopper wall of the spring seat.
