Abstract: A vacuum vessel includes a pair of bending members which are formed by bending metal plates in predetermined shapes and are bonded to each other to form a closed space inside them. The vacuum vessel also includes a sealing member which seals the gap in the bonding portion between the bending members, and a cubic lattice structure which abuts against the inner surfaces of both the bending members and is accommodated in the closed space. The vacuum vessel further includes a magnet unit. The magnet unit fixes the bending members onto the structure and seals the gap in the bonding portion between the bending members by pressing an O-ring serving as a sealing member along the bonding portion.

Abstract: In a frictional drive vehicle, a load acting on the vehicle such as the weight of a rider is converted into a force that urges two frictionally engaging parts (3L, 3R, 25) toward each other. Thereby, the contact pressure between the two frictionally engaging parts is maintained at an optimum level under all conditions. A weight of a rider may be transmitted to a drive member that frictionally engages a main wheel via a four-link parallel link mechanism (40, 50).
