Abstract: A collapsible baby carriage having front leg bars rotatably supporting front wheels at their lower ends, rear leg bars rotatably supporting rear wheels at their lower ends, a transverse connector bar connecting the front and rear leg bars at their upper ends, embracing members secured at one end to the lower end of a handle bar for detachably embracing the rear leg bars when the carriage is unfolded, anchoring link bars connected at their respective ends to a central portion of each front leg bar and to a lower portion of each auxiliary bar, a spring-loaded lock bar for resiliently engaging and disengaging with anchoring edges on the anchoring link bars, an lock bar receiving member pivoted to at least one of said anchoring link bars and a manipulation mechanism for disengaging the lock bar from the anchoring edges of the anchoring link bars.

Abstract: A suspension control system for automotive vehicles automatically adjusts the damping strength of variable shock absorbers or other dampers in accordance with road surface conditions. The sensor signal reflects vertical displacement of the vehicle body from the road surface. The sensor signal is compared to a corresponding reference level which is variable depending upon a vehicle speed. The results of comparison give an indication of the degree and scale of irregularities in the road surface. The comparison information is sent to a suspension system controller which causes actuation of the shock or other dampers absorbers to a stiffer mode of operation when road surface roughness requiring harder suspension is recognized.

Abstract: A control assembly for use in controlling the operation of a hydrostatic transmission of a lawn and garden vehicle. The control assembly is selectively adjustable such that it can be set precisely at the neutral position of the transmission. The control assembly also provides means for causing the transmission to positively return to its neutral position after operation in either the forward or reverse driving modes.
