摘要:
A steering member for reciprocating in the right and left direction relative to a vehicle body is connected with a tie rod. The steering member is engaged with a lean control member. The lean control member is mounted on the vehicle body for swinging in the right and left direction. The lean control member is mounted with an upper end of a suspension spring. When the steering member is reciprocated in the right and left direction, the lean control member is swung according to the reciprocation of the steering member. According to the foregoing swinging, the suspension spring pushes down or pulls up vehicle wheels relative to the vehicle body. As a result, the vehicle body is inclined toward the turning center side. In this way, a driver can enjoy the same steering sense as that of a motorcycle in an automobile or a motor tricycle.

Telescopic members which are expanded and contracted by means of a fluid pressure controlled by a steering mechanism are integrally connected to suspension springs. And when a vehicle makes a turn, the body is caused to decline toward the turning center side due to the telescopic movement of the telescopic members according to the steering operation. The fluid pressure may be fed from a hydraulic cylinder including a piston associated for movement with the steering mechanism. Alternatively, fluid pressurized by a pump may be fed through a controlling valve which is actuated in response to the steering mechanism. At a time when the vehicle makes a turn, a satisfactory steering sense similar to a motorcycle can be obtained.
摘要:
A suspension apparatus for a vehicle adapted to decline the body and/or the wheels toward the turning center side according to the steering operation when the vehicle makes a turn. In this suspension apparatus, the end portion of a suspension spring at the vehicle body side or the end portion of an upper arm at the vehicle body side are secured to a movable member associated with a steering operation member for movement. In the vehicle equipped with this suspension apparatus, driver can enjoy the similar steering sense or feeling as a motorcycle.
摘要:
A suspension spring is provided with a telescopic member comprising a cylinder and a piston, and fluid pressurized by a pump is controlled by a control valve, and fed to the telescopic member or discharged therefrom. Due to the foregoing, the total length of the suspension springs is varied. Since the control valve is in association with a steering mechanism, either one of the pair of right and left suspension springs is expanded according to steering operation, while the other suspension spring is contracted. As a result, a vehicle body is inclined toward the turning center side. The inside of the cylinder may be defined into two upper and lower cylinder chambers by the piston, so that when fluid is fed to one of the cylinder chambers, the fluid is simultaneously discharged from the other cylinder chamber. The control valve is a rotary valve formed of an inner valve and an outer valve. Such rotary valves may be mounted on the respective suspension springs. Otherwise, the stream of the fluid may be switched by only one rotary valve to expand or contract the respective suspension springs.

Sliding of a seat or reclining of a seat back can be disabled, except when a rider intends to slide the seat or recline the seat back. The motion of an auxiliary bar which permits sliding of a seat is inhibited by an interlocking lock member. An operating piece cannot be raised and hence it is impossible to slide the seat. An engine key is inserted into a first lock mechanism and is turned, causing the interlocking lock member to slide up to a position permitting operation of the operating piece. In addition, a lever of a second lock mechanism faces a reclining lever, so that the reclining lever cannot turn clockwise around a rivet bolt and a pawl remains engaged with any of first to third recesses. If the lever of the second lock mechanism is turned, the reclining lever can be pulled to release the reclining locked condition.

There are discolsed a pesticidal composition containing a water-insoluble alginate, which is prepared by treating a solid composition containing (a) a pesticidally active ingredient which is a pest-controlling active ingredient or a plant growth-regulating active ingredient and (b) an alginic acid or a water-soluble alginate with an aqueous solution containing a divalent or polyvalent cation which can convert said alginic acid or water-soluble alginate into a water-insoluble alginate. Also disclosed is a pesticidal composition containing a water-insoluble alginate, which is prepared by coating a solid substance containing the pesticidally active ingredient with a water-insoluble alginate. The composition of the invention has excellent sustained-release effects of the pesticidally active ingredient.

A battery charger for an electric vehicle having a built-in heatsink provided with an air passage, and a built-in battery charger cooling fan for producing an air current through the air passage of the heatsink to cool the heatsink. The heatsink need not be provided with fins and hence the battery charger can be formed in a comparatively small size.
