  • Patent number: 8151207
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a display device for working vehicle, which is adapted so that additional information can be displayed. In the invention, display indication marks of the two types can be interchangeably displayed on a common display screen of a limited area without reducing the sizes of the individual marks, so that neither a larger size of a display device nor a drop in the visibility of the indication marks is necessary. This enables the driver to control a working machine such as a construction machine and have additional information about the construction machine without any trouble in the driving.

  • Patent number: 7213894
    Abstract: The invention provides a shaft for a roller wheel which is excellent in strength and can achieve a weight saving. The invention provides a shaft for a roller wheel which rotatably supports a roller (3) outward fitted between both end portions (5a, 5b) in a state in which both end portions (5a, 5b) are fixed, and receives a load in a diametrical direction via the roller (3). Recess portions (6, 6) are provided on a side to which the load is not applied, on an outer peripheral surface corresponding to the roller (3). The load applying direction is a vertical direction. A cross sectional shape of the shaft in the recess portions (6, 6) is formed in a shape which is constituted by an upper circular arc portion (10) on an upper side, a lower circular arc portion (11) on a lower side, and a vertical connection portion (12) passing through a shaft axis (O) and connecting the upper circular arc portion (10) to the lower circular arc portion (11).

  • Patent number: 7161605
    Abstract: A display device that has a display screen is disclosed that has the ability to prevent reflections of the display screen from appearing on glass, without lowering the visibility of a display portion of the display screen. The brightness of the display color of either the background portion 31 on a display screen 30 or the background portion 31 of such one of display portions 32 and 33 as occupies the larger area of the lit portion of the display screen 30 is changed according to the control of a control switch 23. If the brightness of the display color of the background portion 31 is lowered (from the “thin light blue” to the “thick light blue”, for example) at the nighttime, its reflection on the glass around a cabin 40 can be reduced without lowering the luminance of the display screen 30. Alternatively, the saturation or hue of the display color can be changed to obtain a similar effect.

  • Patent number: 7108337
    Abstract: To provide a roller for a crawler type traveling vehicle. The manufacture of this roller is streamlined by simplifying a structure for holding a seal mechanism between a bearing part and the outside and a thrust bearing and facilitating working while eliminating the need for welding. Roller pieces shaped to be axially separable are combined with a support shaft and formed integrally at a parting section (including a stepped engagement part and an external engagement part) by press fitting. The support shaft is provided with a projection for restraining the left and right roller pieces from moving in an axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20020015062
    Abstract: Even if state indication marks and state change indication marks are increased in numbers, the indication marks of the two types can be displayed on a common display screen of a limited area without reducing the sizes of the individual marks thereby to invite neither a larger size of a display device nor a drop in the visibility of the indication marks and to cause no trouble in the driving control of a working machine such as a construction machine.
