Abstract: A pushing projection having a portion for abutment at a front end thereof and a pulling-in projection having a portion for engagement at a rear portion thereof are provided on an upper surface of a front end portion of a rear sunshade so as to protrude therefrom. And at a rear end portion of a front sunshade, there are provided a pushing portion to be brought into abutment with the portion for abutment of the pushing projection so as to push rearward the front end portion of the rear sunshade and a hook portion being oriented downwardly, when the front sunshade is moved rearward and a hook member having at a rear end portion. Further, there is provided a hook member to be brought into engagement with the portion for engagement of the pulling-in projection so as to pull out forwardly and upwardly the front end portion of the rear sunshade when the front sunshade is moved forwardly.

Abstract: A vehicle sunshade device has guide rails disposed on both sides of an opening formed in a roof of a vehicle. The guide rails each has a guide groove having in turn a straight portion oriented longitudinally and extending substantially horizontally and an inclined portion continuous with the straight portion. Sliding members are slidably fitted in the groove, the sliding members being provided on sides of a sunshade for opening and closing the opening, being made larger in longitudinal length than in thickness and being elastically deformable in vertical directions. A vertical gap in the inclined portion at least at an intermediate portion thereof is made larger than a vertical gap in the straight portion of the guide groove. In the case of the vehicle sunshade device having front and rear sunshades, sliding members each having a portion for abutment at a front upper portion are provided on both sides of a rear sunshade at a front portion thereof.

Abstract: A vehicular automotive soil treating machine having a main frame structure provided on an automotive drive means to support thereon a soil feeding stage including at least a soil hopper and an additive hopper for feeding soil and an additive soil improving material, a soil processing stage including a soil processing trough which is internally provided with a mixing device for mixing soil and additive material while being transferred from one to the other end of the soil processing trough, and a processed soil discharging stage including a soil discharging conveyer for transferring processed soil of improved quality in a predetermined direction. The soil processing trough is provided with an inlet opening on the upper side of its fore end portion to receive soil and additive material therethrough, and an outlet opening on the bottom side of its rear end portion to discharge processed soil of improved quality toward the discharging conveyer.

Abstract: A seeding machine comprises: an air compressor for generating a positive air pressure; a soil hardness sensor for measuring soil hardness so as to produce a control signal to adjust the positive air pressure generated by the compressor; an air pressure adjuster for adjusting the positive air pressure generated by the air compressor in accordance with the control signal produced by the soil hardness sensor; a negative air pressure generator for generating a negative air pressure by making use of air under the positive air pressure; a change-over valve for effecting a change-over operation between the positive air pressure and the negative air pressure, so as to selectively supply the positive air pressure or the negative air pressure; a seed adsorber for catching a seed by virtue of the negative air pressure; a first air cylinder adapted to extend or contract by the positive air pressure, to cause a certain reciprocating movement of the seed adsorber; a second air cylinder adapted to extend or contract by the

Abstract: A front air spoiler apparatus for an automotive vehicle is provided with first and second air spoilers which are vertically moved by a driving unit. The first and second air spoilers are retracted at a front portion within a vehicle body in an overlapped condition, and set at an operating position so as to be vertically offset. Therefore, in a retracted condition the retracting space for the spoilers is kept small, and in an operating condition the effect front area of the air spoiler is largely increased.

The tap coefficient data is selected to nullify dummy data D.sub.K which periodically appears, based on impulse response data obtained by sampling a sampling function for the sampling frequency f.sub.m with a frequency of the least common multiple of the sampling frequencies f.sub.n and f.sub.m.

Abstract: A coffee maker comprising both a mill assembly for grinding coffee beans, and a brewer assembly underlying the mill assembly for receiving coffee grains filtered out therefrom and for brewing coffee with heated water poured onto the coffee grains. The mill assembly has a mill housing having its top closed by a mill cap adapted to receive the heated water from a water heater. Projecting from the mill cap, in a position just over a coffee grain filter constituting a part of the mill assembly, a water chute conducts the heated water down onto the coffee grains that have been fed from the mill assembly into the brewer assembly. The interior of the mill housing is therefore not wetted with the heated water during the brewing but can be kept dry to allow immediate resumption of grinding as desired.
