Abstract: A suspension device for vehicles (a front suspension (10)) is disclosed in which, of connecting portions (23, 24) of a lower arm (20) and a tie rod (6) for connection to a knuckle (35), one of the connecting portions (24) which is close to the rear of the vehicle is offset inward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the other connecting portion (23) which is close to the front of the vehicle, in the steering neutral state. The center (P2) of a lower end portion of a coil spring (60) is offset outward in the vehicle width direction and rearward in the vehicle's longitudinal direction with respect to the center (P1) of an upper end portion of the coil spring (60).

Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a knuckle that includes a bearing mounting portion on which a hub bearing is mounted, a damper holding portion which holds a damper, and a damper mounting arm portion which couples the bearing mounting portion and the damper holding portion, the method being such that by using one core, the knuckle is integrally casted so as to formed therein a cylindrical opening which is the inner space of the damper holding portion, a hollow opening in which the inner space in a hollow portion of the damper mounting arm portion, the hollow portion extending in a closed cross section from the damper holding portion, is continuous with an opening formed in the damper holding portion, and an arm-portion opening which is surrounded by a front arm portion and a rear arm portion of the damper mounting arm portion, extending from the hollow portion.

Abstract: A dispensing device for gasoline or the like liquid fuel which is mounted on a base structure or island as a part of the device, which occupies a relatively narrow space and may be of a hollow body so as to accomodate at least one of a flow meter, a fuel pump, and a motor for driving the pump. The device has at least three indication surfaces each directed in different direction around the device, so that an amount of the fuel dispensed and indicated on said surfaces can be read from any position around the device.
