Kunihide OHASHI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10005438
    Abstract: A brake system includes a brake activator which first activates a central rear brake and lastly activates a front brake of a right front brake and a left front brake which is provided on a front wheel which is an inner wheel by operating an input member. When an operation amount of the input member from an initial state to a maximum operated state thereof is divided equally into three portions which are defined as a low braking force area, a middle braking force area, and a high braking force area, the brake activator activates the central rear brake, the right front brake, and the left front brake to operate in the low braking force area.

  • Patent number: 9988027
    Abstract: A brake system includes a brake activator which controls, when a slipping condition is detected at a central rear wheel based on a signal detected by a central rear detector, the operating condition of a central rear brake based on the signal detected by the central rear detector so as to reduce a braking force on the central rear wheel lower than a braking force which is obtained as a result of operation of an input member. In this state, when an operation quantity of the input member increases as a result of operation of the input member, changing the operating conditions of both a right front brake and a left front brake, the brake activator increases the braking forces in both a right front wheel and a left front wheel according to an operation quantity of the input member.

  • Patent number: 9751507
    Abstract: A brake system does not change immediately an operating condition of a left front brake although a slipping condition is detected at the left front wheel based on a signal detected by a left detector in such a state that a slipping condition is not detected at a right front wheel based on a signal detected by a right detector, and does not change immediately an operating condition of a right front brake although a slipping condition is detected at the right front wheel based on a signal detected by the right detector in such a state a slipping condition is not detected at the left front wheel based on a signal detected by the left detector.

  • Patent number: 9744952
    Abstract: A brake system includes a brake activator which reduces, when a slipping condition of a right front wheel is detected based on a signal which is detected by a right detector, both braking forces on the right front wheel and a left front wheel to a lower level than a level of a braking force which is obtained as a result of operation of an input member and which reduces, when a slipping condition of the left front wheel is detected based on a signal which is detected by a left detector, both braking forces on the left front wheel and the right front wheel to a lower level than a level of a braking force which is obtained as a result of operation of the input member.
