Abstract: A headlight device includes a first light source for high beam, a second light source for low beam and a third light source for low beam. In the headlight device, the second light source and the third light source are disposed on opposite sides of the first light source so as to sandwich the first light source therebetween. Thus, it is possible to provide a headlight device for which the entirety can be made to appear bright.

Abstract: A headlight device includes a first light source, a shielding part disposed in front of the first light source, and a frame provided between a housing and a lens, the frame including an illumination opening that defines an illumination range for light from the first light source. Thus, it is possible to provide a headlight device that can alleviate glare even when it includes an auxiliary light source.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes: a housing; a lens that covers a front surface of the housing; main lighting bodies housed in the housing, the main lighting bodies including left and right two headlights emitting light; a light guide member formed into an ?-shape to extend continuously along peripheries of the two-headlight main lighting bodies; and an extension that partially covers the light guide member from a front. Light source groups that emit light to be guided to the light guide member are disposed on upper end portions at left and right of the ?-shape. The light guide member has a center bent portion bent at a position posterior to the extension.

Abstract: A light guide member, and light source groups as light guide member light sources that emit light to be guided to the light guide member, constitute a subsidiary lighting body, and the light guide member is disposed around reflectors. The light source groups are disposed at upper end portions of the light guide member. The light source groups consume electricity more than low-beam light sources and high-beam light sources do. Substrates, on which the light source groups are mounted, are mounted together with heat sinks on a housing main body.

Abstract: A turn signal control apparatus includes a switch, a flashing cycle control device, an operation device, a sharp deceleration-detection device, a bypass device, and a flashing cycle modification device. The flashing cycle control device is to determine a flashing cycle. The operation device is to open and close the switch according to the flashing cycle determined by the flashing cycle control device so that a turn signal lamp flashes. The flashing cycle modification device is to modify the flashing cycle determined by the flashing cycle control device to produce a modified flashing cycle according to a sharp deceleration-detection signal. The flashing cycle modification device and the bypass device are configured to operate to electrically connect an upstream side of the operation device and a downstream side of the operation device according to the modified flashing cycle in a case where the sharp deceleration-detection signal is outputted.

Abstract: Part units of speech information are arranged in a predetermined order to generate a sentence unit of a speech information set. To each of a plurality of speech part units of the speech information, an attribute of “interrupt possible after reproduction” with which reproduction of priority interrupt information can be started after the speech part unit of the speech information is reproduced or another attribute of “interrupt impossible after reproduction” with which reproduction of the priority interrupt information cannot be started even after the speech part unit of the speech information is reproduced is set. When the priority interrupt information having a high priority rank than the speech information set being currently reproduced is inputted, if the attribute of the speech information being reproduced at the point in time is “interrupt impossible after reproduction,” then the priority interrupt information is reproduced after the speech information is reproduced.

Abstract: An other vehicle information providing device, can be configured to assign priority to a plurality of other vehicle information inputted to the own vehicle and provides other vehicle information having high priority. The other vehicle information providing device includes a priority memory means for storing priority information. An information switching index value calculation means which predicts future priority after a lapse of a predetermined period based on the stored priority information, which can include latest priority and priority previous to the latest priority, and calculates an information switching index value based on the latest priority, the priority previous to the latest priority, the priority before the priority previous to the latest priority and the future priority. An information providing means provides other vehicle information based on the information switching index value.

Abstract: A motorcycle is easily recognized by other vehicles or pedestrians and is hardly damaged during a maximum bank, by devising the disposition of lighting fixtures. An area surrounded by a vertical line passing on each of both side surfaces of a front wheel, a horizontal line passing through a protrusion of a step serving as a first grounding portion, and a straight line for connecting the first grounding portion with an intersection between the vertical line and the ground, is set. Lighting fixtures are provided in the area, as seen from the front side. The lighting fixtures are mounted to lower ends of front forks that support a shaft of the front wheel. The lighting fixture are mounted to lower rear ends of swing arms that support a shaft of the rear wheel. A lamp of each of the lighting fixtures is composed of an assembly of a plurality of light-emitting diodes.

Abstract: An occupant restraining apparatus for a motorcycle which can release an occupant smoothly from a motorcycle body upon falling down. An occupant's seat includes a releasing mechanism which allows release thereof from a seat support member together with an occupant upon falling down of the motorcycle. When the motorcycle falls down, the occupant's seat can be released smoothly from the seat support member. Accordingly, an occupant restraining apparatus for a motorcycle which allows, upon falling down, the occupant to be released smoothly from the seat support member (motorcycle body) can be provided.
