摘要:
A steering system for a motor vehicle having power steering means including an actuator for turning steerable road wheels of the motor vehicle includes a control mechanism for eliminating a deviation between a desired direction of travel of the motor vehicle and an actual direction of travel of the motor vehicle, based on an output signal from a direction indicating mechanism which indicates the desired direction and an output signal from a direction detecting mechanism which detects the actual direction. The control mechanism determines a target turning angle for the steerable road wheels dependent on the deviation between the desired direction and the actual direction, and controls the power steering mechanism to turn the steerable road wheels up to the target turning angle.

A steering system for the front and rear wheels of an automotive vehicle comprises a front wheel steering mechanism having an output shaft, a rear wheel steering mechanism having an input shaft coupled to the output shaft, an output member for steering the rear wheels, and a motion converting mechanism for converting rotation of the input shaft to movement of the output member, a vehicle speed sensor, and a control unit connected to the vehicle speed sensor for controlling operation of the motion converting mechanism dependent on the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor. The motion converting mechanism comprises a shaft angularly movable by the input shaft, the shaft having an arm extending radially from one end thereof, a guide mounted on the output member and extending in a vertical direction transverse to an axis of the output member, a slide assembly disposed between and interconnecting the arm and the guide, and a drive device controlled by the control unit for moving the slide assembly along the guide.

A trailing arm suspension includes a holder pivotally supported on a vehicle body by a first pivot shaft extending substantially longitudinally of the vehicle body and supporting a second pivot shaft extending substantially transversely of the vehicle body, a trailing arm pivotally supported by the second pivot shaft on the holder and having a spindle mounted on a rear portion thereof for rotatably supporting a wheel, and a plurality of links have first ends thereof coupled to the trailing arm and extending substantially transversely of the vehicle body. The point at which the trailing arm is pivotally supported by the second pivot shaft can easily be displaced transversely through swinging movement of the holder about the axis of the first pivot shaft. A rubber bushing interposed between the trailing arm and the second pivot shaft can be harder or higher in rubber rigidity in the longitudinal and vertical directions of the vehicle body for limiting changes in wheel alignment when wheels are driven or braked.

A steering system for a vehicle having a steering wheel and front and rear wheels, including a front steering sub-system for steering the front wheels in accordance with the steering angle of the steering wheel and a rear steering sub-system for steering the rear wheels in the same and opposite directions with respect to the front wheels in accordance with the steering angle of the steering wheel. The steering system is provided with a rack and pinion type variable-ratio mechanism for varying the ratio of the steered angle of at least either of the front or rear wheels to the steering angle of the steering wheel in accordance with the magnitude of the steering angle of the steering wheel. The design freedom in setting a functional relation between the steering angle of the steering wheel and the turning curvature of the vehicle is thus maximized. Moreover, selective setting is permitted for change of ratio of the steered angle of the rear wheels to the steering angle in the vicinity of the initial position of the steering wheel. Further, there is permitted a favorable use of available vehicle dimensions to achieve an optimum feeling characteristic of steering operation.

A vehicular steering system which includes a steering wheel, front wheels and a steering mechanism therefor, and rear wheels and a steering mechanism therefor, the front and rear wheel steering mechanisms serving to steer both the front and rear wheels by operation of the steering wheel. The steering system is provided with a front wheel steering system connecting the steering wheel with the front wheels through the front wheel steering mechanism, a connection path connecting the front wheel steering mechanism with the rear wheel steering mechanism, a rear wheel steering system connecting the steering wheel with the rear wheels through the connection path and the rear wheel steering mechanism, and an auxiliary power mechanism connected to the connection path so as to assist steering operation of the steering wheel. The steering system provides for reduction in the steering torque appropriately in response to a resultant force of an external force acting on the front wheels from the road surface plus an external force acting on the rear wheels from the road surface at the time of steering operation for both wheels. The connection path of the system is arranged above lower vehicle members such as an exhaust pipe and a fuel tank, so that such members protect the connection path from damage.

A hydraulic shock absorber for vehicles which includes a cylinder, a piston, a piston rod and a piston rod guide. In order to minimize noises which might otherwise be transmitted to the vehicular chassis through the piston rod, the piston rod is constructed of axially arranged divided piston rod members which are integrally connected through an elastic member. The piston rod guide may include radially arranged divided rod guide members which are integrally connected through an elastic member.

A grinding machine includes a spindle head for rotatably driving a crankshaft around a journal center as a rotational axis and, two wheel heads that support respective two grinding wheels and that advance and retract in a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis independently with each other. Two of plural pin portions of the rotating crankshaft are simultaneously ground by the respective two grinding wheels, in which rotational phases of the two pin portions are different from each other. Further, the rotational phases of the two pin portions are stored as a combination in a memory. The two pin portions are simultaneously ground in accordance with the combination by the respective two grinding wheels.

In a multi-location television conference system that connects five locations A, B, C, D, and E, when speeches take place at the four locations A, B, C, and D at the same time, at a listening location E, images of all the speaking locations A, B, C, and D are displayed on one screen with four divided screen areas. On the other hand, at the speaking location A, images of the speaking locations B, c, and D and an image of the former speaking location E are displayed on one screen with four divided screen areas. In addition, when images of speaking locations are displayed, locations names thereof are also displayed. Thus, a television conference held at a plurality of locations at a time can be smoothly managed as with a real conventional conference.
