Abstract: Production of a working vehicle frame consumes high costs because it requires high rigidity. A simple construction improves the rigidity of the frame and reduces costs required for the production. In a structure of a frame (9) for a working vehicle (1), side sections of the frame (9) are constructed in a boat form, and, in a front view, the width of a lower section of the frame (9) is set smaller than that of the central section in the vertical direction of the frame (9). Further, a mast plate (63) for supporting a front loader (2) and a front axle installation plate section (75) are integrated, and side frames (62) constructing the side section of the frame (9) and the mast plate (63) are jointed in a lateral T shape in a side view.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to change a layout structure of a hydraulic continuously variable transmission apparatus (HST) particularly constituting a hydromechanical continuously variable transmission apparatus (HMT) as a continuously variable transmission apparatus, thereby achieving a simplification of structures of a working vehicle and a traveling drive system, and an easiness of a maintenance. In a working vehicle provided with an HMT structured such as to combine an HST and a planetary gear mechanism as the traveling drive system so as to output and rotate a power of an engine while shifting gear, the HST is provided with a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor integrally in a front wall of a transmission case, and is arranged in an upper side of a transmission shaft transmitting the power to the transmission case from the engine.

Abstract: When display according scheduled program viewing is provided on multi-screen-display, a user may not even notice the display. First, upon the start of processing for display according to scheduled program viewing, which has been set in advance (for example, two minutes before the scheduled program viewing), at step S1, whether or not TV is currently providing multi-screen display is determined at step S2. If it is providing multi-screen display (Yes), the processing proceeds to step S3, and the display is switched to single-screen display. If it is not providing multi-screen display (No), step S3 is omitted. In any case, the processing proceeds to step S4. At step S4, whether or not an HTML browser is installed is determined, and if it is not installed (No), the processing proceeds to step S7. If it is installed (Yes), the processing proceeds to step S5, and whether or not the HTML browser is active is determined.
