  • Publication number: 20220410920
    Abstract: The present invention provides an information provision system that provides information to a driver of a straddle type vehicle, the system comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a course of the straddle type vehicle; a specification unit configured to specify an attention portion to which attention of the driver should be paid in the course acquired by the acquisition unit; and a notification unit configured to notify the driver of the attention portion specified by the specification unit, wherein the specification unit is configured to specify the attention portion based on inclination information indicating an inclination on the course of a reference vehicle that has previously traveled on the course, and specify the attention portion based on a difference in a travel route on the course between the straddle type vehicle and a four-wheeled vehicle as the reference vehicles.

  • Patent number: 8561750
    Abstract: A chain guide device wherein it is unnecessary to make a chain guide body a thick and heavy member to enhance the productivity of the chain guide body. The chain guide body is split into a left guide half having a left-side upper split surface and a left-side lower split surface which are formed along a longitudinal direction of a chain and a right guide half having a right-side upper split surface and a right-side lower split surface. The guide bodies, which are roughly U-shaped, can be easily demolded after injection molding to enhance productivity. The contact of the chain with the split surfaces is lessened, as compared with the case where split surfaces are inclined at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the chain. Accordingly, wearing of the split surfaces is restrained, and it is unnecessary to make the chain guide body greater in thickness and weight.
