  • Patent number: 12122650
    Abstract: A carrier body of a lift carrier includes: a pair of wheel support mechanisms that supports a first wheel of a vehicle to be transported; a frame-shaped structure connected to the wheel support mechanisms; and one or more lifting units that lift or lower the pair of wheel support mechanisms. The frame-shaped structure includes a frame portion and an upper plate and is open on a lower side of the carrier body. Each of the lifting units includes a wheel support and an air spring. The air spring is interposed between the wheel support and an upper plate. As the air spring expands, the wheel support is rotated about one end of the wheel support rotatably supported by the frame portion, and is deployed out of the frame-shaped structure.

  • Patent number: 12103454
    Abstract: A vehicle transporting device includes a bogie frame, a device main body, and an upright frame. The upright frame connects a tip portion of the bogie frame and the device main body. The bogie frame includes two frame members and at least two pipes, which are disposed parallel to a longitudinal direction of the bogie frame. The two frame members are disposed parallel to the at least two pipes at a position outside the at least two pipes in a width direction of the bogie frame. The at least two pipes include two pipes facing each other in the width direction. A reinforcing member extending in the width direction is provided at the tip portion of the bogie frame and between the two facing pipes. The two frame members, the reinforcing member, and the upright frame are connected to each other at the tip portion of the bogie frame.

  • Patent number: 12049160
    Abstract: A vehicle seat that can suppress damage to an on-board object is provided. In each side frame of a cushion frame, an eccentric portion is eccentric outward in a right-left direction with respect to a base portion, and in each side frame of a back frame, an eccentric portion is eccentric inward in the right-left direction with respect to a base portion. Thus, when the load at the time of rear collision acts, each side frame of the cushion frame easily becomes deformed outward in the right-left direction, and each side frame of the back frame easily becomes deformed inward in the right-left direction. Accordingly, the deformation direction of each side frame of the cushion frame and the deformation direction of each side frame of the back frame can be easily made opposite to each other, and the deformations of the respective side frames and can be inhibited.

  • Patent number: 11987952
    Abstract: Provided is a construction machine in which a pair of boss parts (17L, 17R) coupled via a boss pipe (18) are welded to a tip end of an arm (7), a coupling pin (16) is rotatably supported in bushes (20L, 20R) of the respective boss parts (17L, 17R), and brackets (8b) of a bucket (8) are coupled to opposite ends of the coupling pin (16). An inner pipe (25) is fitted onto the coupling pin (16) on an inner circumferential side of the boss pipe (18), and defines a grease passage (26) between the coupling pin (16) and the inner pipe (25). Left and right gaps between the boss pipe (18) and the inner pipe (25) are closed with side plates (27L, 27R), and a pair of grease chambers (28L, 28R) communicating with each other via the grease passage (26) are defined. A grease supply pipe (29, 30) has a base end welded to a center of an outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe (25) in an axis (C) direction, and a tip end opened in a left side plate (7L) of the arm (7), so that a nipple (33) is mounted to the tip end.

  • Patent number: 9760332
    Abstract: A system displays an image using a plurality of projection type display devices, and is capable of reliably notifying a user who uses the system that an error has occurred in a certain projection type display device. A slave includes a display unit that projects and displays an image and a signal receiving unit that receives data transmitted from a commander. The slave includes a detection unit that detects an error in the commander on the basis of the receiving conditions of the data in the signal receiving unit. The slave includes a display control unit that, when an error is detected by the detection unit, makes the display unit display an image showing that the error has been detected.

  • Patent number: 9635329
    Abstract: A projection system performs projection on a projection surface using a plurality of projectors including a first projector and a second projector. The projection system projects, using the first projector, a first guide in a position a predetermined amount of a margin spaced apart from a border of a projection region where an image is projected and projects, using the second projector, a second guide distinguishable from the first guide.

  • Patent number: 9373150
    Abstract: In the case where a projector is used in combination with another projector, individual use of only one projector is enabled. A slave projector operates together with a master projector. In this case, the operation methods to start up the projector are a first method in which only a first key is pressed, a second method in which the first key and a second key are pressed simultaneously, and a third method in which the first key and a third key are pressed simultaneously. When the slave projector detects a user's operation with a remote controller, if the operation is done by the first method or the second method, the slave projector ignores this operation. Meanwhile, if the operation is done by the second method, the slave projector starts up the own device irrespective of the command from the master.
