Abstract: A bobbin thread winder of a sewing machine including a bobbin winder spindle holding a bobbin and a driving mechanism to apply a drive force to the bobbin winder spindle, comprises a time measuring unit to measure an bobbin-thread winding execution time with respect to the bobbin, and a bobbin-thread winding amount calculating unit which calculates a winding amount of the bobbin based on the bobbin-thread winding execution time with respect to the bobbin measured by the time measuring unit. In the bobbin thread winder, since the bobbin-thread winding execution time was measured by the time measuring unit, and the bobbin winding amount of the bobbin is calculated based on the bobbin-thread winding execution time by the bobbin-thread winding amount calculating unit, it is possible to detect the bobbin winding amount of the bobbin accurately regardless of the type and thickness of the bobbin thread.

Abstract: A motorcycle includes a vehicle-side control unit that determines whether or not identification information from an electronic key conforms to identification information on a side of a vehicle. An ignition switch unit allows at least starting operation of an engine and unlocking operation of a handlebar, in accordance with a situation where the identification information from the electronic key conforms to the identification information on the side of the vehicle. The vehicle-side control unit and the ignition switch unit are disposed on one side of a head pipe of the vehicle. The vehicle-side control unit is disposed in the vicinity of the head pipe, and below the ignition switch unit.

Abstract: The overlock sewing machine includes a first switching part for switching an interlocked state where an upper knife drive part and an upper knife are interlocked and a released state where the upper knife drive part and the upper knife are not interlocked each other; a second switching part for switching the upper knife between the projection position and retreat position and, an operation part for switching a first switching part and an second switching part between a first mode where, when the first switching part provides the interlocked state, the second switching part sets the upper knife at the projection position; a second mode where, when the first switching part provides the released state, the second switching part sets the upper knife at the projection position; and, a third mode where, when the first switching part provides the released state, the second switching part sets the upper knife at the retreat position.

Abstract: A motorcycle includes an ignition switch unit that allows at least starting operation of an engine and unlocking operation of a handlebar by operation of an ignition knob after restriction of turning of the ignition knob by a lock mechanism is canceled when electronic authentication is conducted. An emergency release mechanism is configured to directly or indirectly allow the starting operation of the engine by an emergency release key regardless of the electronic authentication. The emergency release key has a rod-like grip portion, and a magnet key provided to a lateral on a side of an end of the grip portion. A keyhole for the magnet key of the emergency release mechanism is arranged in a direction opposed to an insertion direction of the emergency release key.

Abstract: In a storage part structure for a saddle type vehicle including a storage box and a battery box it is possible to easily detach a battery box to enhance maintenance. The storage part structure for the saddle type vehicle includes the storage box and the battery box formed as a body separate from the storage box and fixed to the storage box. In the storage part structure, the battery box is disposed under the storage box with a horizontal part cross member constituting a body frame being disposed under the battery box. In addition, the battery box is mounted on the horizontal part cross member.

Abstract: An auxiliary machine mounting structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle that ensures consistent appearance irrespective of the presence or absence of a mounting of an auxiliary machine or device such as an antenna being mounted on a meter visor to ensure the degree of freedom in layout without having to consider the possibility of the windshield creating a ghost image of the auxiliary machine or device. An opening is formed on the windshield side of the meter visor. An ETC cover is detachably mounted on the meter visor to cover the opening. An antenna is positioned beneath the ETC cover and disposed in the opening.

Abstract: A coupling device has a clip and a clip holder. A hook at a distal portion of a wiper arm is attached to the clip. The clip holder has a locking member and a cover. The cover extends along the longitudinal direction of the wiper arm. The cover has a first cover portion and a second cover portion. When the clip holder is located at an engage position where the clip holder is engaged with the clip, the second cover portion extends to connected parts of a boundary between a retainer and an arm piece.

Abstract: A wiper for a vehicle is provided with a quadric linking mechanism wherein a main lever and a sub-lever are connected to an arm head. The range of the rotation angle of the main lever is set in such a way that the angular velocity of rotation of the wiper arm is within a range of from 0.75 to 1.25 times (fluctuating within a range of ±25%) the angular velocity of rotation of the main lever, and the pitches between connecting shafts of the quadric linking mechanism consisting of each lever are set in such a way that the wiper arm pivots by a predetermined angle within said range of the rotation angle of the main lever. Therefore, not only is the wiping range enlarged, but a driver is not made to feel uncomfortable because the movement of the wiper arm is smooth and the fluctuation range of the angular velocity of rotation does not become too large.

Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a wiper device of a vehicle capable of preventing foreign matter from being caught in a link mechanism of a four-articulation link system type wiper arm, capable of maintaining its function under severe conditions and of being realized through a simple structure at low cost. This wiper device of the vehicle is of the four-articulation link system in which a main lever and a sub lever are each connected to an arm head. A cover member is mounted on the arm head with engaging pieces and engaging concave portions. The cover member covers a link mechanism portion. A mesh-like rib is formed at a back side of the cover member so as to improve rigidity. As a result, it is possible to block penetration of snow or the like and remove (wipe off) accumulated snow and formed ice by force, thereby preventing an increase in the accumulated snow.
