    Abstract: A leaning vehicle comprising: a leaning actuator that changes a lean angle of a vehicle body when the leaning vehicle turns; a steering actuator that changes a steered angle of two front wheels when the leaning vehicle turns; and a control device that controls the leaning actuator and the steering actuator. The control device controls the leaning actuator and the steering actuator such that, when five regions into which a speed region of the leaning vehicle up to a maximum speed is equally divided are defined, a rate of change in a lateral acceleration in an imbalanced turning state relative to a vehicle speed changes at lower rate in a highest speed region than in a lowest speed region.

  • Publication number: 20240310765
    Abstract: A fixing apparatus includes a belt, a steering roller, a slide member, and a pressing rotation member that forms a nip portion by pressing the belt and is disposed to face the slide member. The belt applies heat to a recording material and has an inner circumferential surface that receives a lubricant applied onto the inner circumferential surface. The pressing rotation member fixes a toner image onto the recording material by applying heat and pressure to an unfixed toner image in the nip portion, in cooperation with the belt. An end portion of the belt on one end side in a belt width direction takes a position outside an end portion of the slide member on the one end side and a position inside the end portion of the slide member on the one end side while the steering roller is in operation.
