Abstract: A vehicle suspension arm includes: a wheel support portion which supports a wheel through a ball joint serving as a joining member; a front side vehicle body installation portion serving as a vehicle body installation portion which is installed in a vehicle body; and a wheel side portion which joins the wheel support portion to the front side vehicle body installation portion. The wheel side portion includes an offset portion, which has a cross-sectional shape with a gravity center being offset upward or downward from a straight line that connects the ball joint to the front side vehicle body installation portion.

Abstract: A vehicle body front structure includes: a front subframe; left and right suspension lower arms swingably supported by the front subframe; and a steering gearbox supported by the front subframe. The front subframe includes left and right longitudinal members extending in a fore-and-aft direction, a cross member extending laterally and joined to the longitudinal members, and a front lower arm support and a rear lower arm support provided on each longitudinal member to be spaced from each other in the fore-and-aft direction and swingably supporting the corresponding lower arm. The steering gearbox includes a laterally extending rack shaft and a pair of joints provided at either end of the rack shaft and joined to ends of respective tie rods. The longitudinal members extend obliquely so as to approach each other toward rear, and each front lower arm support is positioned more rearward than the steering gearbox.

Abstract: Provided is a semi-trailing suspension device including: a trailing arm that is coupled to a vehicle body in a turnable manner; a trailing bush that is provided between the vehicle body and the trailing arm and pivotally supports the trailing arm in a turnable manner; a lower arm that is coupled to the vehicle body in a turnable manner; a lower arm bush that is provided between the vehicle body and the lower arm and pivotally supports the lower arm in a turnable manner; and a hinge mechanism that couples the trailing arm and the lower arm to each other in a relatively displaceable manner.

Abstract: A suspension system includes: a trailing arm and a lower arm which are turnably connected to a chassis and are joined in such a way as to be displaceable relative to each other through a hinge mechanism; and a stabilizer. The suspension system includes a stabilizer link which connects the stabilizer to the trailing arm. A fitting point of the stabilizer link to the trailing arm is located behind a center axis of the hinge mechanism in a vehicle front-back direction, and a fastening point of the stabilizer and the stabilizer link is located above the fitting point in a vehicle up-down direction and inside the fitting point in a vehicle width direction.

Abstract: In a suspension support structure, an upper end of a piston rod of a damper is supported by a vehicle body. The suspension support structure is provided with a base body and a lid body which is press-fitted in the base body. The base body has a peripheral wall extending from a flange joined to the vehicle body, and a bottom formed at the lower end of the peripheral wall and through which the piston rod is inserted. An elastic body and the upper end of the piston rod are supported on the bottom. The lid-body is press-fitted to the inner surface of the peripheral wall such that the lid body covers at least the upper surface of the elastic body while facing the bottom of the base body. When the lid body is attached to the base body is contained below the upper end of the peripheral wall.

Abstract: An inkjet printing apparatus and an inkjet printing method are realized which can improve a print quality while minimizing the volume of waste ink, running cost and throughput degradations. For this purpose, the scan width is set according to the size and position of the print medium and then, based on that scan width, a location where the preliminary ejections are to be executed and the number of times that the preliminary ejection is to be executed in a single preliminary ejection session are determined.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ink jet printing apparatus and an ink jet printing method in which even with a variation in ink ejection amount depending on an image print area, the ink ejection amount for preliminary ejection can be optimally set. For this purpose, a print area is divided into a plurality of areas, and the number of ink ejections through a nozzle is measured for each of the areas. Based on the number of ink ejections for each area, the number of ink ejections for the preliminary ejection is determined.
