Abstract: A leading edge of a blade has a first curved portion provided with a leading-edge rearmost point, and a trailing edge of the blade has a second curved portion located on the inner circumferential side of the trailing edge and a third curved portion located on the outer circumferential side of the blade on the trailing edge. The third curved portion has a trailing-edge foremost point, and the second curved portion has a trailing-edge rearmost point. The trailing edge and a first concentric circle, which is one of concentric circles having as their center an axis of rotation and passes through the leading-edge rearmost point, intersect each other at a first intersection. The first intersection is located between the trailing-edge rearmost point and the trailing-edge foremost point.

Abstract: An outdoor cooling unit in a vehicle air-conditioning apparatus is configured such that the angle between a normal line to a suction plane of a suction portion and a normal line to a discharge plane of a discharge portion is acute and such that air inside a housing flows in a substantially checkmark-shape, substantially V shape or substantially U shape. In the outdoor cooling unit, a blade of an axial fan is configured such that a chord center line formed by connecting chord central points from an inner circumferential end to an outer circumferential end of the blade and projecting the connected chord central points on a plane containing a rotating shaft is convexly curved toward the downstream side over the entire area in the radial direction.

Abstract: A controller controls right and left wheel drive motors based on a tire angle detected by a tire angle sensor such that the angular velocities of a pair of drive wheels about the center of a turn of the vehicle are equal to each other. The controller determines a steering speed of a steered wheel at the time a steering wheel is turned, from the tire angle detected by the tire angle sensor. Based on the steering speed, the controller controls a hydraulic pressure control motor, enabling a hydraulic pump to supply working fluid at a rate corresponding to the steering speed through a priority valve to a steering cylinder. With this arrangement, the vehicle is allowed to make a smooth turn.

Abstract: A hydraulic device for industrial vehicles. A first motor drives a first hydraulic pump and a second hydraulic pump. The first hydraulic pump supplies hydraulic fluid to a power steering device and a brake device. The second hydraulic pump supplies hydraulic fluid to a carriage device. If an increased amount of hydraulic fluid need be supplied to the carriage device, a second motor drives a third hydraulic pump. Thus, together with the second hydraulic pump, the third hydraulic pump supplies hydraulic fluid to the carriage device.
