  • Patent number: 7281722
    Abstract: A wheeled vehicle has a front suspension unit coupled with a body frame to suspend a front wheel. The front suspension unit allows the front wheel to move relative to the body frame. The front suspension unit has a pair of front suspension members coupled with each other. A rear suspension unit is coupled with the body frame to suspend a rear wheel. The rear suspension unit allows the rear wheel to move relative to the body frame. A hydraulic system inhibits a position of the body frame from changing relative to the ground. The hydraulic system has a first hydraulic device to generate hydraulic pressure in response to the movement of the front wheel relative to the body frame. A second hydraulic device generates hydraulic pressure in response to the movement of the rear wheel relative to the body frame. A hydraulic pressure adjusting device connects the first and second hydraulic devices with each other.

  • Patent number: 4983890
    Abstract: A rotating drive device capable of exhibiting a variety of applications and/or diversities and being easily assembled. The rotating drive device includes a drive mechanism unit and a transmission mechanism unit operatively connected to the drive mechanism unit. The drive mechanism unit includes a casing, in which a power supply, a sensor and a motor are arranged. The drive mechanism unit also includes an output shaft which is operatively connected to the motor and through which the transmission mechanism unit is connected to the drive mechanism unit. The motor is electrically connected to the power supply and sensor so as to be actuated when the sensor detects an external stimulus. The transmission mechanism unit includes an input section operatively connected to the output shaft of the drive mechanism unit to transmit the drive force of the drive mechanism unit to the transmission mechanism unit and a plurality of output sections for transmitting the power of the transmission mechanism unit to the exterior.

  • Patent number: 4764149
    Abstract: A spring driven two-wheel toy vehicle in which the weights of the spring drive unit and the transmission gears are distributed such that the toy is laterally well-balanced. In order to simplify assembly, a frame is provided with integrally formed shafts to which various transmission gears are affixed and is integrally provided with steering shaft support bearings. Two transmission gear mechanisms are engaged with the spring drive unit. One on each side for independently transmitting a torque from the drive wheel to the drive unit by one, and transmitting a torque from the drive unit to the drive wheel by the other.
