Abstract: In an engine, an exhaust gas purifying device and a regeneration device, there are provided detectors for detecting working states thereof, such as a rotational sensor, a cooling water temperature sensor, an intake temperature sensor, exhaust gas temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and opening degree sensors. When a trouble occurs in any of the sensors other than the pressure sensors among them, a light degree of operation restrictions is performed for restricting a rotational speed of the engine while it can be determined that particulate matter is not excessively accumulated in a particulate matter removing filter from a detection value of the pressure sensors. On the other hand, when the particulate matter is excessively accumulated in the particulate matter removing filter or when any of the pressure sensors has a trouble, a heavy degree of the operation restrictions accompanied by a fuel injection quantity restriction of the engine is performed.

Each first abuttal arrangement includes a bearing surface carried by one side segment, and a protruding structure connected with the child safety seat that rests on the bearing surface. The second abuttal arrangements are disposed near the front portion of the child safety seat to prevent the child safety seat from moving in a direction that raises the protruding structures out of contact with the bearing surfaces.

Abstract: Improved trucks for skateboards, skateboards having improved trucks, and methods of obtaining or providing skateboards with improved trucks. Trucks have two axles or axes, two primary wheels, and two secondary wheels, and skateboards have eight wheels, four in front and four at the rear portion of the skateboard. The four primary wheels support most or all of the weight of the skateboard when the skateboard is on a flat surface, and the two secondary wheels support the weight of one portion of the skateboard (e.g., front or rear) when the primary wheels cross a crack (e.g., a sidewalk contraction joint). In various embodiments, the primary wheels are located outboard of the secondary wheels, are wider, or both. Further, in a number of embodiments, the axis of rotation or axle of the primary wheels remains parallel to that of the secondary wheels, whether the skateboard is going straight or turning.
