  • Publication number: 20220073038
    Abstract: An electric brake mechanism includes a piston (6D) propelled by a rotation-linear motion mechanism (8) driven by an electric motor (7A). The piston (6D) is configured to press brake pads (6C) against a disc rotor (4), and to hold the brake pads (6C) at a pressing position by stopping the electric motor (7A). A parking brake control device (24) is configured to determine, when a request (application command) to hold the brake pads (6C) is made, a judgment timing for judging whether to stop the electric motor (7A) based on a change trend of a current value of the electric motor (7A). When the judgment timing is reached, the parking brake control device (24) judges whether or not to stop the electric motor (7A).

  • Publication number: 20210078557
    Abstract: A rear wheel-side disc brake is provided with an electric mechanism that converts a rotative force of an electric motor into thrust by using a speed reducer and a rotation-linear motion conversion mechanism and propels (displaces) a piston. The electric motor of the electric mechanism is connected to a parking brake control device and controlled by the parking brake control device. The parking brake control device drives the electric motor to discontinue the maintenance of a braking state and then determines from a running state of a vehicle (for example, whether the vehicle starts moving) whether an abnormality (for example, an idling abnormality due to which the rotative force of the electric motor fails to be transmitted) occurs in the electric mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10238179
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a shoe, and in order to provide a shoe excellent in convenience, easy to put on and take off, inexpensive, light-weight, comfortable to wear, promoting health and exhibiting excellent extensibility, the easily wearable shoe according to the present invention is characterized by the shapes of an outer layer and inner sacs corresponding to various body organs, additionally including a shoe outer layer, sacs of a stretchable material joined mainly inside the outer layer, and an intake inlet/outlet that is formed of a valve that takes in and discharges an air-like gas into/from the sacs, facilitating the insertion of a foot by injecting the gas from the intake inlet/outlet into the sacs and causing the sacs and the shoe outer layer to be flexible, discharging the gas from the intake outlet so as to cause the shoe outer cover and the sacs to contract and come into close contact with the foot, being capable of freely setting an effect from the shoe on a body organ due to the shapes
