  • Publication number: 20230229178
    Abstract: An industrial vehicle includes a driving device, a travel control device configured to control the driving device, an object detection unit, a first control unit setting a limit value, when a vehicle speed of the industrial vehicle is in a first vehicle speed range, a second control unit setting the limit value when the vehicle speed of the industrial vehicle is in a second vehicle speed range, and a speed limit unit imposing the speed limit according to the limit value. The first control unit includes a starting prohibition control unit that sets the limit value and a starting permission control unit that sets the limit value. The speed limit unit imposes the speed limit according to the limit value set by the first control unit when the limit value is set by the starting permission control unit.

  • Publication number: 20220411246
    Abstract: A forklift truck includes a main controller, a driving motor, a drive controller, and an object detector. The drive controller controls the driving motor. The object detector detects the position of an object being present in the backward direction of the forklift truck. The main controller derives an expected trajectory of the forklift truck. The main controller imposes a speed limit on the forklift truck by setting a vehicle speed upper limit when the object detected by the object detector is located within the expected trajectory and the forklift truck is traveling in the direction of approaching the object. The main controller gives commands to the drive controller to prevent the vehicle speed of the forklift truck from exceeding the vehicle speed upper limit.

  • Patent number: 9731309
    Abstract: A foam dispensing cap includes a cap body having a ceiling wall and a cylindrical side wall, and a partition member. An ejection pipe is erected on the upper surface of the ceiling wall. An air chamber is in the space below the ceiling wall. A liquid entry opening is in the partition member. In the air chamber, an air passage for flowing air within the air chamber and a liquid flow path for flowing the content liquid, which has passed through the partition wall and entered the air chamber, communicate with each other. The air passage and the liquid flow path are formed to merge, and a region ranging from the point of merging to the ejection pipe defines an air-liquid mixture flow path. When the squeeze container is tilted and squeezed, the content liquid is ejected in a foamy state from the leading end of the ejection pipe.

  • Patent number: 5980806
    Abstract: A plastic container closure comprising a top panel, a skirt portion, an annular protruded portion that is formed inwardly from the inner surface of the top panel and on the inside of a portion near the root of the skirt maintaining a small gap therebetween, and a sealing liner that is fitted by press-molding on the inside of the top panel, wherein a substantially vertical portion is formed on said liner along the inner surface of the annular protruded portion, and sealing performance is maintained by the engagement between the outer edge of the mouth of the container and the substantially vertical portion. Since the sealing is accomplished over a surface having a predetermined width in the up-and-down direction, the sealing performance is not impaired even when the top panel is deformed by the pressure. Moreover, favorable sealing performance is maintained even against shock that is given to the container at the time of fitting the closure.

  • Patent number: 5673809
    Abstract: A container closure includes a plastic shell, and a liner molded by fluidizing a plastic material within the shell. Depressions are formed at circumferentially spaced positions at an upper end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the skirt wall. The depressions each have a circumferential length increased radially outwardly at least in part thereof. A plurality of projections are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the liner in correspondence with the depressions.

  • Patent number: 5542556
    Abstract: An internal thread is formed on the inner peripheral surface of a skirt wall in a container closure of a plastic. The cross-sectional shape of the internal thread is defined by an upper side edge extending radially inwardly in an axially downwardly inclined manner, a lower side edge extending radially inwardly in an axially upwardly inclined manner, a front edge extending substantially vertically, two concave arcs, and two convex arcs.
