Abstract: A bipedal robot of the present invention has a trunk consisting of an upper trunk and a lower trunk which are rotatable around a rotation axis relative to one another. The upper trunk has shoulders on the right and left sides. An arm is provided at each shoulder. A pair of right and left legs is attached to lower ends of the lower trunk. A storage battery is mounted to the back of the upper trunk, positioned within a shoulder width. The storage battery is positioned below the top of a head mounted on the upper trunk. When the robot walks a narrow passage or corridor having a width slightly larger than the width thereof, for example, this arrangement prevents the storage battery from interfering with the passage or the like.

Abstract: A display unit of a job aiding apparatus disposed in each of work stations displays a job detail display image for showing a job detail in each of the work stations and a job result display image for showing a job result of the job detail. The worker in each of the work stations can perform a job easily according to the job detail shown in the job detail display image, and can easily and accurately confirm the job result according to the job result in the job result display image.

Abstract: A light vehicle includes a lid that is pivotable about a hinge, provided at the rear end of the lid, for opening and closing a rear trunk. Locking members are provided at the front end of the lid, which are releasably engageable with roof-supporting struts. Thus, the lid can be moved to a fully open position without being interfered by the presence of the struts, which allows the rear trunk to be operated and used with increased ease. The seat, including a seating section and a back rest section integrally formed together, has an inclined lower surface that is superposed on an inclined upper surface of a rear cowl. Thus, rearward force applied to the seat when the vehicle starts moving or accelerating is divided to allow the seat to be firmly pressed downward.

Abstract: A three-wheeled automobile comprises a front cowl for enclosing a front portion of the automobile, and a floor forming a passenger step. The front cowl has on lateral sides thereof rear ends positioned above front wheels of the automobile, and a front end surface positioned forwardly of the front wheels. As a result, a large space is provided between a front wall of the front cowl and a seat. A handle post is provided generally centrally of the floor. The floor has roomy foot platforms located around the handle post. As a result, a space left forwardly of the handle post can be used as a feet accommodating area.

Abstract: A molding apparatus for producing a synthetic resin molded product including a forming mold with a molding cavity, a gate communicating with the cavity, and an overflow chamber communicating with the cavity through a flow-out passage, a gas blow-in mechanism for blowing gas into molten synthetic resin which has been injected into the cavity through the gate so as to form a void in the molten synthetic resin in the cavity to mold a hollow product and a flow-out passage opening and closing mechanism for closing the flow-out passage until the molten resin fills the molding cavity and opening the flow-out passage when the gas blow-in mechanism is in operation.
