Abstract: A traveling apparatus performs an inverted pendulum control to maintain an inverted state of a vehicle body and travels with a passenger thereon. The traveling apparatus includes a drive portion that drives the vehicle body; a riding detection portion that detects a start of riding on the vehicle body by the passenger; a command generation portion that generates a torque command value to perform the inverted pendulum control and a position control to move the vehicle body to a position that facilitates the riding, when the start of riding is detected by the riding detection portion; and a control portion that controls the drive portion based on the torque command value generated by the command generation portion.

Abstract: A bolster spring assembly is adapted for securement to a vehicle having a primary suspension system for securing an axle to the vehicle. The bolster spring assembly is located and secured between the leaf spring over the axle and the undercarriage of the vehicle as a supplement to the primary suspension system.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement for mounting a loading bunk (3) to a frame beam (2) of a vehicle, wherein the loading bunk includes a horizontal beam (4) and wherein the mounting plate (13) can be moved longitudinally on the frame beam (2) and locked thereto. The mounting plate (13) includes locking means (18) for securing the beam (4) in the transverse direction. The locking means (18) includes shape-conforming latching means (19) for coacting engagement with engagement devices (12) disposed on the beam (4).

Abstract: A vehicle timber bank arrangement having a horizontal supporting beam and generally vertical post assemblies mounted at respective ends of the beam. Each post assembly includes a bottom post anchored firmly to the beam, and at least one top post which is displaceable telescopically to its associated bottom post. A pivotal upper connection member is pivotally mounted at at least the first top post, and at the second top post there is mounted a device for coupling with the upper connection member when this device is in a position in which it connects or binds the two to posts. The upper connection member is swung by a piston-cylinder device which functions to displace the first top post telescopically in relation to the first bottom post. The first top post and the part of the piston-cylinder device which actuates the first top post are coupled together by a rack-and-pinion arrangement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combine header transport which may be rapidly and easily adjusted to support a wide variety of kinds and shapes of headers for transport. The transport includes an inclined bracket having a slotted sloped surface. A rail having a plate affixed thereto overlies the sloped surface and a second plate underlies the sloped surface. When the plates are loosened relative to each other, the rail may be readily slid along the sloped surface to effect rapid and simultaneous adjustment of the rail in both the transverse horizontal direction and in vertical elevation and, when the adjustment is complete, the plates clamp the inclined bracket.

Abstract: An extendible bunk stake for use on a log truck and the like. The stake includes an upright post adapted to be mounted on a bunk on the truck, and an extension member telescopically extendible from the post from a lowered to a raised position. The extension member is releasably locked in its raised position by a spring-operated latch which cooperates with a latch cover on the post to indicate when the latch is in a locking position. An arm mounted on the member, adjacent its upper end, is shiftable between an upwardly projecting position and an inwardly projecting position where the arm is engageable by a log being lifted by a boom loader, to extend the extension member. The arm is held in its inwardly and upwardly projecting positions by a spring-loaded lock, with arm release from its inwardly extending position and movement toward its upwardly extending position occurring upon continued lifting of such a log beyond the point where the extension member has been fully raised.
