  • Patent number: 6120111
    Abstract: A brake hydraulic pressure circuit for increasing the speed of pressure increase at the wheel cylinder by the simple hydraulic circuit. An accumulator is connected to the discharging side of the pump of the hydraulic return circuit via a first switching valve. A hydraulic supplying circuit, branching from the line between the first switching valve and the accumulator, is connected to the suction side of the pump of the hydraulic returning circuit via a second switching valve. Brake fluid reserved in the accumulator is then supplied to the main hydraulic circuit and is supplied to the suction side of the pump via the hydraulic supply circuit.

  • Patent number: 5490595
    Abstract: A bundle-of-electric wire container can contain a bundle of electric wire P wound in a loop shape and permit drawing out of the electric wire. Containers can be stacked in a plurality of stages to increase storage efficiency and conveyance efficiency. A bundle-of-electric wire containing space is formed between core pieces and an outer cylinder, and the bundle of electric wire is protected by the outer cylinder. The container is used as one unit for the storage of a bundle of electric wire and to the feeding of the electric wire P through a conveyance. Accordingly, in the manufacturing field of a wiring harness, the bundle of electric wire can be stored and conveyed without losing its shape, for example, and done so efficiently. It is possible to improve the operating efficiency of a manufacturing line by preventing the electric wire from being tangled, for example, at the time of feeding the electric wire as well as to prevent an inferior product from being manufactured.

  • Patent number: 5486018
    Abstract: A number of embodiments of suspension systems for vehicles having at least two and, in all illustrated embodiments, four wheels, each of which is independently suspended by a respective shock absorber. The shock absorbers are generally conventional in nature but are interconnected by a system that includes an accumulator and a flow control so as to provide a damping for vehicle characteristics that is independent of the individual damping of each wheel's shock absorber. A wide variety of accumulator structures and flow controls for achieving these purposes are disclosed, as are a number of ways in which various wheels of the vehicle can have their shock absorbers interconnected.
