Abstract: A contact detection apparatus includes a bumper beam, an absorber, a contact detection sensor, a tube holder, a cover, and first and second protrusions. A pressure tube is held in a groove of the tube holder. The cover is attached to a front end of the tube holder. A pressing member of the cover is disposed inside an opening groove of the groove and in front of the pressure tube. The pressure tube includes first and second protrusions on its outer periphery. The first protrusion projects in a frontward direction, faces the pressing member in frontward and backward directions, and has a pair of upper and lower surfaces inclining in respective directions to come closer to each other as the upper and lower surfaces extend in the frontward direction as seen in a vehicle width direction. The second protrusion is disposed above the first protrusion in an upward direction.

Abstract: A contact detection apparatus includes a bumper beam, an absorber, a contact detection sensor, a tube holder, and a cover. The absorber is disposed in front of and adjacent to the bumper beam. The contact detection sensor includes a pressure tube and outputs a signal in accordance with a change in pressure of the pressure tube. The tube holder is a part of a front end of the absorber and has a groove holding the pressure tube therein. The cover is attached to a front end of the tube holder and includes a body covering a front face of the tube holder and a pressing member disposed in front of the pressure tube. An upper end of a rear face of the pressing member is disposed at a more backward position than a lower rear end of the pressing member.

Abstract: In a generator including a fuel tank that stores liquid fuel, the fuel tank includes a fuel inlet and a breather passage formed by a pipe member through which an inside and outside of the fuel tank communicate with each other, and the pipe member is provided with a valve that blocks the breather passage at normal time and opens the breather passage by a pressure of a predetermined value or higher.
