  • Patent number: 5289893
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an arrangement for providing an automatic steering control and restraining a steering wheel from being rotated in case of the automatic steering control. A rack is mounted on the vehicle to be laterally movable with respect thereto and linked to a main shaft of a steering wheel. A lateral shaft is disposed to be laterally movable with and with respect to the rack and linked at its opposite ends to steerable wheels of the vehicle. Relative positions of the rack and lateral shaft are adjusted by an adjusting device. An electromagnetic clutch is disposed to restrain at least one of the rack and the main shaft from being moved with a frictional force applied thereto in case of the automatic steering control. Consequently, the steering wheel is not rotated in the automatic steering control, while the steering wheel can be rotated manually against the frictional force.

  • Patent number: 4345431
    Abstract: Heat-resistant filters 6, 7 are disposed at the upstream side of a catalyst bed 9. These heat-resistant filters 6, 7 perform filtration to completely catch and remove the smoke particles suspended by the exhaust gas, so that the undesirable attaching of the smoke particles to the catalyst bed 9 is fairly avoided. Also, means are provided to regenerate the heat-resistant filters simply by burning the smoke particles attaching to these filters. In another embodiment, a heat-resistant filter 24 and a catalyst bed 26 are shaped to have hollow cylindrical forms and are superposed to each other. For regenerating the heat-resistant filter 24, hot air is introduced into the filter 24 by the action of a high pressure burner 28 or a vacuum generating section 33. The heat-resistant filter 24 and the catalyst bed 26 are accomodated by a single case 21.
