Member for reinforcing vehicle body

A member for reinforcing a vehicle body capable of absorbing more energy than conventional reinforcement members using straight tubes and ''overall length R-bent tubes'' at the time of collision of the vehicle body by applying either of a ''partially R-bent tube'', a ''multi-portion R-bent tube'' and a ''partially recessed and protruded bent tube'' specified in this invention to the member for reinforcing the vehicle body so as to develop excellent impact resistance for reinforcing the vehicle body. The dimensions (outer diameter, wall thickness) of a metal tube used as the member for reinforcing the vehicle body are reduced while maintaining the impact resistance and the shape thereof is reviewed to reduce the weight and cost of the vehicle body. Also, since the member can cope with a requested level for a more and more increasing impact resistance of the vehicle body, it can be widely used as an occupant protective technology.

Formaldehyde detecting material, formaldehyde detector, formaldehyde detecting method and formaldehyde detecting reagent

A formaldehyde detector (10) provided with a detecting reagent which develops a color in response to formaldehyde. The detector (10) comprises a detection element (30) having a base material (31) which constitutes an optical waveguide transmitting light via repeated total reflection and a mesoporous layer (32) which serves as the surface of the base material (31), is formed by laminating on at least a part of the light reflecting face and carries the detecting reagent as described above. Furthermore, it has a light emitting material which emits an incident light on the base material (31) and a light receiving material which receives the light outgoing from the base material (31). Furthermore, it has a signal processing section wherein the light signal from the light receiving material is received and a change in the optical properties based on the color development due to the reaction of formaldehyde with the detecting reagent is detected to thereby detect formaldehyde and measure its concentration from the change in the optical properties.

Resin-made intake manifold, method for manufacturing resin-made intake manifold

The invention provides a resin-made intake manifold and a method for manufacturing resin-made intake manifold. The resin-made intake manifold can reduce manufacturing cost and reduce the volume of a surge tank. The invention provides a resin-made intake manifold (1) which has a central member (12) and a lower member (14), and the surge tank (18) is formed between the central member (12) and the lower member (14). The intake manifold (1) forms a branch passage (16) communicating with the surge tank (18), wherein the lower member (14) is an integrally molded product by the resin and comprises: a curve-shaped curved channel (20) which constitutes a part of the branch passage (16); and a wall portion (52), which is formed at the inner circumferential side of the curved shape of the curved conduit (20), from a passage port (34) of the curved channel (20) and the surge tank (18) to the central member (12) side, and forms the side wall of the surge tank (18).

Electric straddled vehicle

An electric straddled vehicle which has, despite the fact that the vehicle is a lightweight and inexpensive vehicle using a small-sized, highly versatile motor, the balance of weight in the left-right in the width direction of the vehicle relative to the vehicle body centerline is optimized. An electric motor (250) is disposed within a cantilever swing arm (214) at a position at which, when viewed from a side of the vehicle body, the electric motor is superposed on the region in which a rear wheel (WR) is projected. A motor driver (216) is disposed within the swing arm (214) so as to straddlethe vehicle body centerline (C) at a position in front of the rear wheel (WR) relative to the vehicle body. The motor driver (216) is disposed in such a manner that the position (G2) of the center ofgravity thereof is offset to the side opposite to the side to which the electric motor (250) is offset from the vehicle body centerline (C). The motor driver (216) is provided behind a rocking shaft (215) relative to the vehicle body at a position close to the rocking shaft (215) and is inserted and mounted to a recess (308) open to the upper surface side of the swing arm (214). An FET (316) for conducting and interrupting an electric current to the motor is at least supported on the lower surface of a lid member (264) of the motor driver (216).

Water pump attachment structure of water-cooled internal combustion engine

A water pump attachment structure of a water-cooled internal combustion engine is provided that can facilitate the maintenance of a valve train. A water pump attachment structure of a water-cooled internal combustion engine is as below. A semicircular cut-away surface (20u) of a water pump holder (20) is opposed to a semicircular surface (3u) of a cylinder head (3) to form a water pump support circular hole (21). Screw members (39b) are passed through respective screw through-holes (3h) of the cylinder head (3) and threadedly engaged with internal thread holes (20h) of the water pump holder (20). Thus, the water pump holder (20) is fastened to the cylinder head (3). A water pump (30) is fitted into and secured to the water pump support circular hole (21). A cylinder head cover (4) is attached to the cylinder head (3) by allowing their mating surfaces to conform with each other with the water pump holder (20) liquid-tightly sandwiched therebetween.
