Abstract: A front wheel clutch and a front wheel acceleration clutch are supported to a front wheel transmission shaft. Between the front wheel clutch and the front wheel acceleration clutch, there is provided a holder supporting the front wheel transmission shaft. A first operational oil passage for switching over the front wheel clutch is defined respectively in and between the holder and the front wheel transmission shaft. A second operational oil passage for switching over the front wheel acceleration clutch is defined respectively in and between the holder and the front wheel transmission shaft.

Abstract: A method for producing a 2-(halogenated methyl)naphthalene represented by general formula (1): where X is a halogen atom. The method includes a halogenation process of reacting 2-methylnaphthalene with a halogenating agent under light irradiation, in an organic solvent selected from a halogenated hydrocarbon, an aliphatic ester and an aliphatic hydrocarbon.

Abstract: An antibacterial twisted yarn including a first fiber and a second fiber having a shorter length than the first fiber and twisted together with the first fiber, wherein at least one of the first fiber and the second fiber includes a piezoelectric fiber that generates a charge by application of external energy.

Abstract: Provided are an arm, a tool magazine, and a machine tool capable of suppressing interference between tool storage arms and suppressing an increase in size in the direction parallel to an axis of rotation. The arm is provided in the tool magazine of the machine tool and configured to grip a tool. The arm includes a support plate configured to be fixed to the tool magazine and two support rods configured to rotate on both sides of the support plate. The positions of the tool grip side end portions of the two support rods are different in the rotation center axis direction of the tool magazine.

Abstract: Provided are a tool changer and a machine tool having a plurality of tool storage magazines and capable of suppressing the generation of vibration. The tool changer performs tool change between first and second tool storage magazines. The center of gravity of the second magazine is disposed below the tool change positions of the first and second magazines. Preferably, the second magazine is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane.
