  • Patent number: 9302730
    Abstract: A two-wheeled vehicle 1 includes a steering section 6 which steers a front wheel 4. The steering section includes a steering shaft link 13 which turns about a first steering axis 10 together with a second steering axis 11, a front-wheel support section 14 which turns the front wheel 4 about the second steering axis 11, and a first motor 15 which causes the steering shaft link 13 to turn. A caster angle ? based on the first steering axis 10 is positive or 0. A trail t1 based on the second steering axis 11 is positive. When the two-wheeled vehicle 1 is in a basic posture state on a ground surface 12, the intersection point P3 of the second steering axis 11 and the ground surface 12 lies in front of the intersection point P2 of the first steering axis 10 and the ground surface 12.

  • Patent number: 9133998
    Abstract: A parabola type vehicular illumination lamp that forms a low-beam distribution pattern with a horizontal cut-off line at its upper end, including a reflector (34) formed in its lower reflection area (34a1) with a light non-incident area (34aL1) on which light from a light source bulb (32) is not incident since the light is blocked by a shade (36) provided in front of the light source bulb (32). The light non-incident area (34aL1) of the reflector (34) has an additional reflection portion (34aL1A) for reflecting light, which is from the light source bulb (32) and reflected by the upper reflection area (34au) of the reflector (34) and then reflected by the upper area (14u) of a translucent cover (14), in a direction below the horizontal cut-off line of the low-beam distribution pattern.
