  • Patent number: 10081407
    Abstract: A saddle type vehicle includes a parking operator for allowing the lever to be lengthened without affecting the surrounding members. A parking lever is arranged more forward than the tip of a first finger of an operator when the first finger is fully extended forward. Therefore, there is no concern that the hand holding the left grip section may touch the parking lever. Thus, the lever can be sufficiently lengthened. In addition, the parking lever is sufficiently far from the grip section toward the vehicle front. As a result, there is no concern that the parking lever may interfere with a normal gripping operation. In addition, a handle switch or other part can be readily arranged on a switch box on the base portion of the grip section without being affected by the parking lever.

  • Patent number: 5954579
    Abstract: A female screw portion is formed around an axis of a rotor of a step motor to penetrate through the rotor in an axial direction of the rotor. A male screw portion is formed on an outer peripheral surface of a screw shaft so that the screw shaft is screwed into the female screw portion. The screw shaft is inserted in a ring rod, and a connection clip portion is connected to the ring rod. When the rotor rotates, the ring rod reciprocates linearly in the axial direction of the rotor, and vertical fins rock in the axial direction of the rotor.
