Abstract: A chair provided with a backrest for use in offices, etc., comprising an inner shell (2) and an outer shell (3). Conventional chairs of this type have a problem that there is little freedom in design with respect to strength and flexibility since only the inner shell serves as a structural member. An object of this chair is to increase the freedom. To this end, in the chair of this invention, the outer shell (3) as well as the inner shell (2) are formed as an integral body L-shaped in side view and comprising a seat portion (31) and a backrest portion (32), so that a three-dimensional shell structure is formed. In this chair, various measures are taken to solve the problem caused by the outer shell which is formed into an integral body. First, a fixed shell (6) is adopted for preventing a gap from being formed. Also, to obtain a required resiliency the shells (2, 3) are of such a construction as to allow a positional shift between the shells, and the inner shell (2) is supported by two brackets (118, 119).

Abstract: A steering device for an automotive vehicle includes steering wheels one of which is associated with a driver's seat positioned at the front of the vehicle and the other with a seat positioned at the rear of the vehicle and available for manipulating a crane or the like. Power cylinders are provided for hydraulically steering front wheels only or both of front wheels and rear wheels of the vehicle. Hydraulic circuits associated with the power cylinders are controlled such that while the wheels are steered at the driver's seat, they cannot be steered at the craneman's seat. Such control of the hydraulic circuits occurs in response to actuation of a key switch. A four-wheel steering mode for steering the front and rear wheels at the same time is prevened from replacing a two-wheel steering mode for steering front wheels only, unless the vehicle runs at low speeds.
