Abstract: The electric-vehicle control device is used in an electric vehicle which is provided with a vehicle body having a driving tire and an axle shaft and with a driving motor which imparts torque to the driving tire. The electric-vehicle control device issues a motor control command to the driving motor. The electric-vehicle control device is provided with a control unit, and the control unit gives feedback control to the driving motor by vibration parameters indicating vertical vibration of the electric vehicle at the center of the axle shaft.

Abstract: (1) Various gear states are selected by movement of a shift lever 2 in a longitudinal shift path 13 and the gear stage is automatically shifted from starting to the maximum gear stage in an automatic speed change position D, so that an operator can run a vehicle with increased safety and easy operation without operation of the shift lever 2. (2) When a push button switch 3 provided in the shift lever 1 is pressed during the automatic speed change running, the gear stage during the running is fixed, so that inadvertent automatic shift is prevented and an optimum speed stage is maintained when the work load on the vehicle's engine changes, for example when the vehicle encounters a slope or a change in load during in operation. (3) When the gear stage is fixed in the automatic speed change position D and the shift lever 2 is transversely moved in the transverse shift path 14, the operator can vary the stages while varying one stage a time with the operator's will.

Abstract: An improved blade assembly is of the type that a blade length is made variable by sliding an auxiliary blade or blades along a main blade. Cutting edge portions of the main blade and the auxiliary blade are disposed in a back-to-back relation and the directions of the tapered surfaces of the respective edge portions are inclined upwardly and outwardly from opposite sides of the complementary sliding surfaces between the main and auxiliary blades so that the knife edges of the respective edge portions may be aligned substantially on the same straight line.
