  • Patent number: 9365198
    Abstract: A braking device for a vehicle includes an operating characteristics setting portion for setting an operating characteristic which is a relationship between the input electric power to the electro-magnetic valve and a pressure difference between a master cylinder side and a wheel cylinder side with respect to the electro-magnetic valve, based on the input electric power at the time when the accumulator pressure detected by the accumulator pressure detecting portion first falls to a value equal to or less than a threshold value accumulator pressure by changing the input electric power towards an opening side of the electro-magnetic valve in response to a time lapsed after a predetermined value of the pilot pressure has been generated by the pilot pressure generating portion by first closing the electro-magnetic valve thereby to suppress the manufacturing cost.

  • Patent number: 9346442
    Abstract: When a brake switch is switched from OFF to ON, current is applied to a brake ECU, and a command to switch a master cylinder from a second state to a first state is issued after a lapse of preparation time, so that switching-time change suppression control is performed. A reservoir shutoff valve is closed, and duty control is performed on a communication control valve. The duty ratio is set to 1 when a switching-time control duration expires, and the communication control valve is placed in an open position, to establish the first state. Thus, since the communication control valve is duty-controlled during switching from the second state to the first state, change in the hydraulic pressure of an input chamber is suppressed, and change of the operating feeling is suppressed.

  • Patent number: 9126523
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle that elevates a working beam installed between a pair of booms with a working beam elevating unit and can ensure the area of a load receiving surface where a load is loaded. The working beam elevating unit is received in a working beam and one end of a chain is fixed to a boom. Therefore, the working beam is moved up/down by loosening and retracting the chain. Therefore, as the working beam elevating unit is installed at the working beam, it is not necessary to ensure a space for installing the working beam on a vehicle body. Therefore, it is correspondingly possible to enlarge the space (area of the load receiving surface) on the vehicle for loading a load.

  • Patent number: 9085259
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle which can stably load or unload a long heavy load and lower a height of a working space necessary for loading or unloading the weight body. The loading/unloading apparatus suspends and maintains a load in a working beam installed between a pair of booms and rotates the pair of booms toward the left or right direction of a vehicle body, such that the load is unloaded from the vehicle body in a construction field or loaded from the construction field onto the vehicle body. Thus, the height of the working space necessary when the load is loaded or unloaded can be reduced as compared with a crane structure for loading and unloading the load by the fluctuation of a boom.
