Abstract: An air bag apparatus for a compact vehicle, having an air bag that is capable of restraining an operator on a seat from a front direction, in response to an expansion of the air bag, wherein it is possible to securely restrain the operator on the seat without a need for enlarging the expansion volume of the air bag, even if a yaw behavior and/or a rolling behavior of the vehicle body are/is large. The air bag and the vehicle to the rear of the seat are linked via a pair of restraining belts at the right and left, which are stored in the vehicle body, when the air bag is in a state of being folded, and which come into a state of tension, at the right and left exterior sides of the operator on the seat, when the air bag expands.

Abstract: Non-contacting conveyance equipment has a concave opening, and end piece and a fluid passageway. The concave opening has a continuous walled inner peripheral surface. The end face opposes the object to be conveyed and is formed in the concave opening. The fluid passageway has a spout facing the inside of the concave opening, to supply fluid to the inner peripheral surface of the concave opening so as to cause a swirl of fluid within the concave opening. A plurality of spouts face may be provided to face the inside of the concave opening such that the plurality of spouts together cause the swirl of fluid within the concave opening. A plurality of concave openings may be provided on a base, each concave opening having an end face formed therein and a fluid passageway comprising a spout facing the inside thereof.
