  • Patent number: 9586514
    Abstract: In a vehicle with a load-carrying platform, an elastic band is provided so a rear portion of a tailgate and a rear portion of a bed extender enter a tensioned state. A rotation regulation mechanism is provided to the tailgate and the bed extender that regulates further rotational movement by the tailgate and the bed extender making contact when the tailgate is rotated towards a closed position. The bed extender and the tailgate are prevented from rotating in the same direction by the rotation regulation mechanism, and the load on the elastic band is mitigated.

  • Patent number: 9221375
    Abstract: A vehicle having a single seat for a plurality of occupants sitting side by side in a lateral direction of the vehicle. The seat has a front end recessed rearwardly at a center seat portion so as to form a substantially U-shaped recess as viewed in a plan view. The recess is composed of a bottom portion and a pair of left and right side portions extending obliquely in a forward direction from the left and right ends of the bottom portion. At a left corner portion of a right seat portion where the right side portion of the recess intersects the front end of the right seat portion, there is provided a seat grip for gripping by the occupant sitting on the right seat portion. The occupant can easily grip the seat grip with his/her hand in the vicinity of his/her body, thereby obtaining good support for the body.

  • Patent number: 8596401
    Abstract: In a electric motorcycle including a power unit having a motor whose revolving shaft is oriented in the vehicle width direction, and a centrifugal clutch configured to transmit a rotary drive force of the motor to an output shaft, the centrifugal clutch is arrange coaxially with the motor. A primary driven gear arranged coaxially with the output shaft and configured to transmit a drive force transmitted from the centrifugal clutch to the output shaft is provided. The primary driven gear is arranged so as to be interposed between the centrifugal clutch and the motor in the axial direction of the revolving shaft. A clutch outer is fixed to a clutch outer holder which is relatively rotatable with respect to the revolving shaft, and the primary driven gear is engaged with a primary drive gear formed on the outer periphery of the clutch outer holder.
