  • Publication number: 20230054319
    Abstract: A coil spring is interposed between a vehicle body and a suspension member which is elastically and swingably supported by the vehicle body and supports a wheel. The suspension member and a vehicle part attached to the vehicle body are connected by a fastening member. The orientation of the suspension member with respect to the vehicle body is forcibly changed so as to increase the distance between the vehicle body and the suspension member at a coil spring interposition portion. An excessive change in the orientation of the suspension member is restricted by the fastening member, and a coil spring is inserted between the vehicle body and the suspension member.

  • Patent number: 11292669
    Abstract: When a conveyance abnormality occurs in a driving conveyor, runaway of a conveying member that supports a conveyance object is stopped. An endless conveyor is provided with a plurality of the conveying members spaced apart from each other, and an endless element is provided with a plurality of engaging members spaced apart from each other and engaged with the conveying members from the conveyance direction, in which the endless element receives a driving force with the engaging member from the conveyor via the conveying member to thereby travel. When the conveyance abnormality in which the conveying member travels autonomously is detected, the endless element is stopped by giving of a braking force, and the runaway of the conveying member is stopped by the engaging member.

  • Patent number: 10518179
    Abstract: A game device controls a game in which an action is applied to a movable object. A prediction accepting unit accepts a prediction made by a user on a movement parameter of the movable object when a predetermined operation of making a prediction is performed by the user. A moving unit decides the movement parameter of the movable object. A determination unit determines a result of the prediction made by the user based on movement parameters respectively predicted by the user and decided by the moving unit. A display control unit displays an arrival point area indicating an expected arrival position of the movable object in an active area in which the action can be applied to the movable object, and changes a size of the arrival point area based on a result of determination by the determination unit.
