Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new method for obtaining a purity of about 93% to 100% of the trans form of 2- or 4-substituted cyclohexanecarboxylic acid or reactive derivatives thereof from the cis form or a mixture of the cis and trans forms by a single step, particularly, to a method for obtaining a purity of substantially 100% of the trans form of 4-substituted cyclohexanecarboxylic acid.
Abstract:
The invention provides useful intermediates as acylating agents for preparing 7-acylaminocephalosporin compounds which show excellent antimicrobial activities. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for preparing 5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazole acetic acid derivatives.
Abstract:
The inlet and outlet passages communicating with a water-cooled engine oil cooler for a vehicle, such as a motorcycle, are arranged for bypass of a regulated amount of oil from the inlet passage to the outlet passage to enhance the flowability of the cooled oil. Provision is made for a replaceable flow control orifice between the oil inlet and outlet passages to regulate oil viscosity. Also described is an arrangement providing for mounting the cooler to the crankcase or oil pan surface whereby air flowing past the cooler during movement of the vehicle assists the effects of the cooling liquid.
Abstract:
A three- or four-wheeled motor vehicle such as a buggy includes a rear fork composed of first and second rear fork members having front ends pivotally mounted on a frame and rear ends supporting rear wheels, respectively, an axle housing having first and second axial ends, the first axial end being joined to the rear end of the first rear fork member, a rear axle rotatably supported in the axle housing, a gear case coupled between the rear end of the second rear fork member and the second axial end of the axle housing and accommodating a gear mechanism for driving the rear axle, and at least one cross member extending between and joined to the first and second rear fork members. The rear end of the first rear fork member has a first joining surface having at least one attachment hole defined therein and directed transversely of the frame. The first end of the axle housing has a second joining surface having at least one attachment hole defined therein and facing the first joining surface. At least one of the attachment holes in the first and second joining surfaces is elongate. The first rear fork member and the axle housing are joined by fasteners through the attachment holes.
Abstract:
A motorcycle having an engine inclined to the symmetrical center plane of the motorcycle frame. A drive shaft employed with the engine is inclined relative to the center plane of the motorcycle frame so as to diverge outwardly from the center plane as it extends rearwardly from the engine.
