Abstract: A body for a dump truck includes a body frame, a bottom wall, front wall, and left and right side walls arranged on the body frame. The body also includes an earth/sand anti-sticking device and a steel member arranged outside and opposite the earth/sand anti-sticking device such that a space is formed between the steel member and the earth/sand anti-sticking device. The body is provided with at least one steel rib arranged in the space, fixedly secured to the steel member to reinforce the steel member, and arranged extending upright toward the earth/sand anti-sticking device. The steel member is any one of the bottom wall, front wall, and left and right walls, and the steel rib is shaped to divide the space.

Abstract: Disclosed is a body structure for a dump truck (1) having a body frame (3). The body structure is provided with hinge pins (5) to be located toward a rear of the body frame, a body (2A) to be tiltably disposed on the body frame via the hinge pins and to be adapted to load payload (9), and stiffening members arranged on outer surfaces of the body. The body is constructed at least of a floor board (62a), a front board (62b), side boards (62c), and a canopy (62d). The stiffening members include side-board stiffeners (61) connecting upper portions of elongated joints between the side boards and the front board to portions of elongated joints between the side boards and the floor board. The latter portions are located rearward of positions laterally corresponding to a barycentric position (G) of the payload (9) in a longitudinal direction of the body.

Abstract: Rear wheel tires of a vehicle body are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction. A foreign object removing device is provided between an outer tire and an inner tire of the rear wheels on one side of the vehicle for removing foreign objects between the tires. The foreign object removing device includes a bar-shaped member inserted in a suspended state between the tires, and a shoe provided in a lower end side of the bar-shaped member to collide with foreign objects such as earth and sand, and stones getting in between the tires for flicking out the foreign objects from between the tires. The shoe is replaceably attached to the lower end side of the bar-shaped member by using a bolt. In a case where the shoe wears down, only the shoe is replaced.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a pressure-receiving member disposed rearwardly of an occupant between left and right side frames, and a rocking mechanism configured to cause a left side or a right side of the pressure-receiving member to move frontward and rearward. The rocking mechanism includes a first link member provided pivotally, a second link member provided pivotally on the first link member and pivotally connected to the pressure-receiving member, and an actuator configured to cause the first link member and the second link member to pivot.

Abstract: [Problem] To realize a body having a light weight and sufficient rigidity, and therefore, to ease restriction on the authorized payload for a payload section such the authorized payload can be increased and the efficiency of hauling work by a dump truck can be improved. [Solution] A body 5 is provided with sloping plates 14-16 arranged in corner parts of a payload section defined by a bottom wall 7, a front wall 8, and left and right side walls 9; and is also provided with steel ribs 17a-17c arranged in hollow parts 25a-25c between these sloping plates 14-16 and the associated ones of the bottom wall 7, front wall 8 and left and right side walls 9 arranged outside and opposite the sloping plates 17a-17c, fixedly secured to the associated walls by welding to reinforce them, and having ridges 17a1-17c1 extending out from surfaces of the sloping plates 14-16. These ridges 17a1-17c1 are fixedly secured to the associated walls by welding.

Abstract: To provide a dump truck capable of assuring a large authorized payload weight while inhibiting spilling of an object under haulage over parts of side walls. A dump truck is provided on a frame 3 with a tillable body 5. The body 5 has a payload section defined by a bottom wall, a front wall 8 and a pair of side walls 9 for loading therein an object to be hauled, and a canopy 10 connected to the front wall 8 of the payload section and arranged over an operator's cab 4.

Abstract: An automatic opening and closing device including: a trunk lid; a drive unit which generates drive force for operating the opening and closing member; a hinge arm which is mounted between a rear fender and wheel house inner panel and the trunk lid; and a first link and a second link which transmit the drive force of the drive unit to the trunk lid. The drive unit is fitted to an edge portion of a trunk room aperture portion, and the first and second link are provided so as to straddle the hinge arm.

Abstract: Provided is a power actuator system for actuating a closure member (1) such as a trunk lid which is compact in size and has a minimized protrusion. A first link (8) is connected to an output shaft of a powered actuator (7), and a free end of the first link is connected to an end of a second link (9). The other end of the second link is pivotally connected to a hinge arm (4) which is fixedly attached to a closure member and pivotally supports the closure member to a fixed part such as a vehicle body. The first link is adapted to extend substantially from the output shaft towards the closure member as the first link swing around the output shaft, and the second link extends substantially perpendicularly with respect to the center line.

Abstract: A thermal fusing device for softening toner images is provided in combination with a transport at the exit of the fuser which transport is characterized by a pair of nip-forming members one of which is provided with a plurality of recesses for receiving belt structures fabricated from a silicone rubber material. A second roll is provided also having recesses for receiving the belts and this roll is positioned remotely from the first mentioned roll so that the belts are entrained about the two rolls such that they protrude from the recesses to thereby provide a nip-forming roll wherein only the belts contact the toner material carried by the copy substrate. Additionally, a fan is provided for cooling the surface of the belt so that the toner will more readily solidify and the paper can be stripped therefrom due to the beam strength of the paper.
