Abstract: A foam generating apparatus includes a foam generation device for generating initial foam by jetting air into a foaming agent solution and a foam fining device for fining the initial foam to produce the foam for foam bathing. A foaming tool provided within a foaming chamber jets air from an opening to the bottom wall of the foaming chamber. The opening is covered with a net having an opening ratio between 27.7% and 49.5% and a number of air-jet openings per unit area between 9690/cm2 and 24800/cm2. From another point of view, the net attached to the opening has a mesh number between 250 mesh and 400 mesh.

Abstract: Disclosed is a strut type suspension for automobiles, consisting of a member for rotatably supporting a wheel, a lower control arm extending in the widthwise direction of a chassis and connected pivotably at its outer end to the support member, and a disc brake unit or internally expansible drum brake unit provided in the wheel. The disc brake unit is provided in its central portion with a recess opened to an inner side of the chassis, an outer end fixing portion of the lower control arm for connection to the support member being set in said recess so as to be close to the center line of ground contact of the wheel.

Abstract: A power transmission device for a front-engine front-drive car having right and left drive shafts different in length from each other. The turning moments applied to right and left front wheels when the car is accelerated are made equal to each other by making the descent angles of the drive shafts respectively substantially equal to each other. Moreover, the allowable steering angle ranges of the right and left front wheels can be widened by allowing the angles made between the right and left drive shafts and the common axis of the right and left front wheels respectively to be substantially equal to each other as viewed in a plan view.

Abstract: An engine mounting structure for a vehicle of the front-engine, front-drive or rear-engine, rear-drive type, wherein an engine and a transmission are separately mounted with the output shaft of the engine and the input shaft of the transmission interconnected through a universal joint. The engine and the transmission are independently supported on the vehicle body through rubber mounts. With such an arrangement, vibrations from the engine can be effectively prevented, and the engine and the transmission can be reliably mounted on the body through supports which are respectively suitable for them.

Abstract: A rear wheel suspension device comprises a radius rod extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle body, pivotally supported at one end and supporting the rear wheel axis at the other end, and a lower arm supporting at one end the rear wheel axle in cooperation with the radius rod and pivotally supported at the other end on the vehicle body, the radius rod extending substantially at 90 degrees to the lower arm. A resilient bush supporting the radius rod is formed to be relatively more resilient in the back-and-forth direction of the wheel, and a resilient bush supporting the lower arm in the transverse direction of the wheel is substantially rigid. With this arrangement, the movements of the rear wheel due to side forces in the toe-in and toe-out directions are suppressed for maintaining roadability, and at the same time the compliance in the back-and-forth directions of the rear wheel is enhanced for improved riding comfort.

Abstract: A suspension device for front wheels in automotive vehicles having front drive shafts of mutually different shaft length, in which unbalanced rotatory moment to be imparted to the king pin means at the left and right sides of the wheels caused by a difference in the angles of inclination at the left and right drive shafts is compensated by providing a difference in the center offset quantities at both left and right wheels.
