Abstract: The hydrogen storage material of the invention is a hydrogen storage material comprising metal fine particles with hydrogen storage capacity, and an organic compound that has at least two specific groups that can bind with the metal fine particles, and that is bonded with the metal fine particles by the specific groups.

Abstract: A vehicle disc brake device for preventing snow, ice, and mud from adhering to a caliper includes a body-anchoring part provided in a cylinder of a caliper, the body-anchoring part for securing a wire guide used to support a brake wire. The body-anchoring part has a first surface oriented along the longitudinal direction of the brake wire, and a second surface located on the side opposite the first surface. A wire-guide-anchoring part is secured to the second surface. The first surface is a flat, inclined surface.

Abstract: A chain drive system is provided having a metallic chain and a metallic sprocket, both meshing with each other. The sprocket is constituted by a double ply or pair of members of the same radius, each having a number of teeth formed at the same pitch on the outer peripheries thereof. An elastic member is held between at least the tooth portions in the chain-mating portions of these ply members. A part of the elastic member projects radially outwardly from at least the bases of the root portions of the split-member defined sprocket to function as elastomeric buffers.The sprocket may include roller portions capable of making meshing contact with the sprocket teeth. A shaft portion supports each roller portion. Elastic rings member may be formed round the shaft portions so as to project radially outwards beyond the outer periphery of the roller portions.Portions of the elastic member may project transversely through sprocket wall openings and merge with buffer rims.

Abstract: A controller for a hydraulically operated braking system incorporates a flywheel apparatus arranged to sense the onset of a wheel-locking condition and to effectively control the operation of the braking system so as to prevent the occurrence of the wheel-locking condition. The flywheel is rotatably, and axially movably, supported with respect to an output shaft of the system in spaced relation therefrom so as to eliminate the effects of friction forces on system operation.

Abstract: An antilock brake device for vehicles having a sensor which senses a possibility of locking of a wheel, during braking of the wheel, by an overruning of a flywheel which generates a release signal. A hydraulic pump having a cam shaft rotated in association with the wheel generates hydraulic pressure for antilock control. A gear unit as a transmission for transmitting rotation of the wheel at an increased speed to the flywheel comprises an input member located within and connected to a hub of the wheel, a ring gear formed on the input member, a planetary gear meshed with the ring gear and a sun gear meshed with the planetary gear. The planetary gear is secured to a cam shaft supported on a stationary casing. The flywheel of the sensor disposed within the hub is connected to the gear unit through a drive shaft. The sensor is supported on an axle extending through the hub.
