  • Patent number: 11198343
    Abstract: To enlarge a collapsible flap and store the collapsible flap appropriately. In an amphibious vehicle (1) in which a flap (13) which receives lift from water in water navigation is provided to be deployable and storable at a front side in a travel direction of a vehicle body (11), the flap (13) includes a lower flap (21) which is stored to come close to a front surface (11a) of the vehicle body (11) and an upper flap (22) which is stored to come close to an upper surface (11b) of the vehicle body (11), and at least one of the lower flap (21) and the upper flap (22) includes a first flap member (31) and a second flap member (32) and is configured such that a flap length (L13) in a direction orthogonal to a vehicle width direction is variable.

  • Patent number: 11179988
    Abstract: This cooling device for an amphibious vehicle includes: a heat exchanger mounted in the amphibious vehicle; a coolant introduction passage through which cooling air or cooling water can be introduced from the outside to the heat exchanger as a coolant; a cooling air discharge passage through which the cooling air having passed through the heat exchanger can be discharged to a cooling air discharge portion communicating with the outside; and a cooling water discharge passage through which the cooling water having passed through the heat exchanger can be discharged to a cooling water discharge portion communicating with the outside. The cooling air discharge passage and the cooling water discharge passage are formed such that at least the cooling air discharge portion and the cooling water discharge portion are independent of each other.

  • Patent number: 8147061
    Abstract: A recording apparatus includes: a housing which constitutes an appearance of a recording apparatus body; and an electronic substrate which is vertically disposed along an inner side surface of the housing. Here, an air supply hole and an air exhaust hole are formed on a side surface portion of the housing corresponding to a lower portion and an upper portion of the electronic substrate so that an air-flow path for external air is formed in an installation region in which the electronic substrate is provided.

  • Patent number: 6119464
    Abstract: A beverage server comprises a tank containing water serving as a coolant and a coiled beverage duct through which beer or other beverage flows and cooling means fitted to a portion of the wall of the tank so as to rapidly cool and serve beer or other beverage discharged from the storage container. The inner wall of the tank near the portion where the cooling means is fitted is made of a material having a high thermal conductivity, whereas the inner wall of the tank near the beverage duct is made of a material having a low thermal conductivity. A sensor is provided near the beverage duct to obtain information for controlling the cooling means. This simple beverage server assures stable serving of beverage at a suitable temperature. Another sensor is provided near a portion of the tank wall where the cooling means and a controller to controls the action of the cooling means based on the information from the sensors are also provided.
