Abstract: A vehicle moving apparatus may include a housing extending in a first direction; an elevator coupled to the housing to be movable in the first direction and another direction opposite thereto, extending in a third direction and being inserted to be drawable into an underside space of a vehicle, and configured to lift or lower a wheel of the vehicle; and a wheel assembly coupled to the elevator and configured to move the housing and the elevator in a direction toward the vehicle or in a direction opposite the vehicle, wherein the wheel assembly includes a wheel rotatably provided with a vertical direction as an axis, and configured to movably support the elevator; and an actuator coupled to the wheel and configured to provide power for rotating the wheel, wherein the wheel is rotatable such that a diameter of the wheel is aligned between the first and third directions.

Abstract: A finger joint having a bridging cover plate, which enables a steel plate having a thickness much smaller than that of a conventional finger to be used and allows the vertical rotation of an upper bridge structure. The finger joint includes: a bridging cover plate installed on a first structure and supported to a second structure across a gap so as to support a load of a vehicle passing over the gap, and configured to allow relative movement between the first structure and the second structure in a direction in which the distance of the gap changes; a first finger unit connected to the bridging cover plate; and a second finger unit installed on the second structure so as to allow relative movement relative to the first finger unit in a direction in which the distance of the gap changes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a friction damper that has a unique load-displacement hysteresis characteristic such that, when the frictional coefficient between members that generate friction is smaller than the slope of an inclined surface, the friction damper is always returned to the original position thereof in a case where an external force is removed or remains at a level that does not exceed a threshold value. The V-groove friction damper includes: a V-groove member including a concave V-shaped groove; a V-shaped frictional contact member including a V-shaped frictional contact portion; a guide member configured to guide a left/right movement of the V-groove member; and an elastic compression unit installed on the guide member, and configured to elastically compress the V-shaped frictional contact member toward the V-groove member.

Abstract: A method for making blade unit with divided shaft facilitating drastically the productivity and assembling compared to a method fixing blade to a shaft using many connecting parts. The method for making blade unit includes steps for making a blade with divided shaft comprising a blade and a divided shaft that is attached integrally to a root portion of the blade and divided into a plurality of portions in a direction of length of the shaft, and combining a plurality of made blades with divided shaft together with one another through the divided shaft.

Abstract: A spiral blade unit is disclosed, which generates less blade-sagging, deformation, or vibration, can be made of various material, can be made with light material, and can be installed easily in interconnecting spiral blades. The spiral blade unit includes a rotational axle and spiral blades with root portions attached along an outer circumferential surface of the rotational axle, and the spiral blades are interconnected to one another through a blade connector.
