  • Patent number: 6042170
    Abstract: A light vehicle includes a lid that is pivotable about a hinge, provided at the rear end of the lid, for opening and closing a rear trunk. Locking members are provided at the front end of the lid, which are releasably engageable with roof-supporting struts. Thus, the lid can be moved to a fully open position without being interfered by the presence of the struts, which allows the rear trunk to be operated and used with increased ease. The seat, including a seating section and a back rest section integrally formed together, has an inclined lower surface that is superposed on an inclined upper surface of a rear cowl. Thus, rearward force applied to the seat when the vehicle starts moving or accelerating is divided to allow the seat to be firmly pressed downward.

  • Patent number: 5947222
    Abstract: A three-wheeled automobile comprises a front cowl for enclosing a front portion of the automobile, and a floor forming a passenger step. The front cowl has on lateral sides thereof rear ends positioned above front wheels of the automobile, and a front end surface positioned forwardly of the front wheels. As a result, a large space is provided between a front wall of the front cowl and a seat. A handle post is provided generally centrally of the floor. The floor has roomy foot platforms located around the handle post. As a result, a space left forwardly of the handle post can be used as a feet accommodating area.

  • Patent number: 5211893
    Abstract: The method for molding a resin reinforced with fiber wherein a resin sheet reinforced with fiber is positioned juxtaposed a face of a mold, which is either one of a female mold or a male mold, and then hardened, but before molding, modifying the viscosity to different levels in different portions of the resin sheet. Thus, it is possible to surely prevent occurrence of a partial difference in thickness of the moldings or, if necessary, to partially change these thicknesses according to predetermined values.
