Abstract: A lifting device is hung in a manner relatively displaceable in the front-and-rear direction within a predetermined range with respect to the travel base that can be self-propelled in the front-and-rear direction, and a control device is provided with respect to the travel base. The control device causes the travel base to be self-propelled forward when the gait trainee moves forward and thus the lifting device is relatively displaced forward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, and causes self-propelling of the travel base to stop when the travel base is self-propelled forward faster than the gait trainee moves and then the lifting device is relatively displaced rearward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, thereby causing the travel base to be self-propelled forward in accordance with a pace of the gait trainee.

Abstract: [Problem] To allow a travel base to be self-propelled in accordance with a pace of a gait trainee without manual operation of the travel base by the gait trainee in accordance with his/her pace, and to prevent the gait trainee from being pulled forward or rearward by the travel base even if the self-propelled speed of the travel base does not perfectly match the pace of the gait trainee. [Solution] A lifting device is hung in a manner relatively displaceable in the front-and-rear direction within a predetermined range with respect to the travel base that can be self-propelled in the front-and-rear direction, and a control device is provided with respect to the travel base.

Abstract: A pin setter applied to a bowling game machine in which a player rolling a ball toward a plurality of pins arranged in a standing manner on a lane thereby to knock down the plurality of pins. The pin setter that arranges the pins at predetermined positions includes a pin lifter that lifts the pin in a standing state up to the lane, a pin guide that keeps the pin lifted on the lane from falling down, and an evacuation mechanism that evacuates the pin guide from the lane.

Abstract: There is described a tag feeder that feeds tags one after another from a tag strip comprising numerous tags and having sensor marks and cut lines onto side edges of fabric materials placed on a work table. The tag feeder comprises a pair of feed rolls to pinch and draw in the tag strip, a mark sensor to read the sensor marks on the tag strip, a tag cutter to cut off the tags, a tag pusher to push each tag portion sideways, a tag receiver to receive and sandwich each tag portion with a feed belt. Each sandwiched and separated tag is then fed on a side edge of the fabric material on the work table.

Abstract: A hemstitching apparatus for single-fabric products such as towels, handkerchiefs, luncheon mats, pillow cases and scarves. The apparatus (100) is simple in structure and safeguarded, which can provide a quick hem treatment. A hemstitching apparatus (100) of the present invention includes: a press plate (30) which presses a fabric piece (W) on a work table (20) held by a machine frame (10); a guide beam (60) which moves a vertical shaft (40) mounting the press plate (30); a drive device (70) which moves the guide beam (60); a turn device (80) provided on the shaft (40); a guide rail (90) which guides guide rollers (81) provided on the turn device (80); and a sewing device (200), the press plate (30) and the turn device (80) being synchronously shifted and turned solely by means of reciprocation of the guide beam (60) as activated by the drive device (70). The hemstitching apparatus (100) can provide both a square corner treatment and a round corner treatment.
