  • Patent number: 11919455
    Abstract: A trunk structure for a vehicle improves retainment performance of goods to a vehicle body in a cargo net, and improves flexibility of the layout of a trunk board. The trunk structure includes a trunk board, a hook member attached to the trunk board to which a cargo net covering goods can be locked, an interior member which constitutes an inside surface of a trunk, and an engaged portion of the interior member which the hook member can engage, the engaged portion restraining movement of the trunk board in an up-down direction when the engaged portion is engaged with the hook member. The hook member is switchable between an engaged state where the hook member engages the engaged portion and a non-engaged state where the engagement is released, and retains the engaged state by locking the cargo net to the hook member.

  • Patent number: 10137555
    Abstract: A machine tool includes a spindle retaining a tool, a spindle motor, a feed device relatively moving a workpiece and a tool with a feed motor, a spindle motor control unit, and a feed motor control unit. In a method of machining a workpiece with the machine tool, the spindle motor control unit continuously varies a rotational speed of the spindle in a periodic or non-periodic manner with a predetermined amplitude with respect to a target rotational speed. The feed motor control unit continuously varies a relative moving speed between the tool and the workpiece in synchronization with the spindle motor such that a ratio of the rotational speed of the spindle to the moving speed does not become constant at least in a predetermined time zone in which a spindle speed reaches a maximal value and a predetermined time zone in which the spindle speed reaches a minimal value.
