Abstract: A flow detector according to the present invention is arranged in a fluid piping circuit, or at an inlet or an outlet of the fluid piping circuit and has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and further comprises a piston having a magnetic member as a part thereof and reciprocated by pressure difference of the fluid between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, a fixed magnetic member positioned at a predetermined distance from the piston, and a detection sensor arranged in a position where the detection sensor is subject to alternate magnetic action from the magnetic member of the piston when the piston is reciprocated at a predetermined stroke, for detecting a flow of the fluid in response to change in the magnetic action.

Abstract: A distributor is connected through a main pipe to a discharge port or discharge ports of a lubricating apparatus. Deaerating valves of the distributor are disposed in connection with at least one of a main pipe flow passage and discharge ports of the distributor.

Abstract: A lubricating device for intermittently supplying a lubricating fluid to a plurality of portions to be lubricated comprises a gear pump, a plunger pump, and an electronic control unit for controlling actuation and suspension of the gear pump. The plunger pump includes a flow passage connected to an outlet port of the gear pump, a selector valve unit connected to the flow passage, a piston unit connected to the selector valve unit and an outlet port connected to the piston unit.

Abstract: A warning device for a vehicle is capable of checking a disorder in the vehicle in a sequential order through a dialog between the device and an operator. The device first indicates conduction of a test before a starter is turned on and the operator depresses a test switch in compliance with this indication to test whether all indication units and buzzer can operate normally. After finishing this test, any disorder which may exist at various starting check points such as a hydraulic fluid level and a radiator water level is detected by an associated indication unit. After the starting check up has been completed and the starter is turned on, driving check points such as a torque converter oil temperature and a brake air pressure are constantly watched and if there occurs any disorder in such check points, the operator is informed of such disorder by operation of all of the indication units and the buzzer.
