The present invention provides a shift control device of a vehicle mounted to a body of a vehicle and having a gearbox, a shift actuator, a base, a gearshift lever, and a gearshift detector. The gearshift lever is disposed on the base. The gearshift detector is electrically connected to the shift actuator. The gearshift lever has a shift pedal, the shift pedal has a pivot portion, and the shift pedal is connected pivotally to the base by the pivot portion. The gearshift detector has a rotating element, and the rotating element is rotated coaxially with the pivot portion of the shift pedal. In the shift control device of a vehicle of the present invention, a signal wire will not be wrapped with other components, so transmission errors of mechanisms are reduced, and the structure is simple.

A nipple for spoked wheels of the tubeless type comprises a first and a second shoulder which are formed on a rod with a blind axial hole which is internally threaded at an end of the rod which is distal from the opening of the axial hole and in a zone of the rod which is proximal with respect to the opening, respectively. A first recess for a sealing ring is formed on the rod behind the first shoulder and at least a second recess for a second sealing ring is formed on the rod between the first recess and the second shoulder.

A tank made of resin provided with a barrier layer, which prevents the barrier layer from rolling up and has improved durability. In a tank made of resin that includes a barrier layer provided on an inner surface of a tank body made of resin, an opening part is provided in the barrier layer, a thick part projecting toward an inside or an outside of the tank body is provided in a resin layer at an outer peripheral part of the opening part, and the barrier layer and a casting flange part at a base of an oil filling port tubular part are molded with the resin of the tank body in a state in which the casting flange part is located at the thick part.

A display type vehicle switch operating apparatus includes a receiver that receives driving information related to an external driving situation of a vehicle and display state information of a display of the vehicle, a highlight indication information generator that generates highlight indication information of a symbol displayed on the display based on the received driving information and the received display state information, and a controller that highlights the symbol displayed on the display based on the generated highlight indication information.

An apparatus for operating a display type vehicle switch includes a controller that controls one or more symbols related to a function of a vehicle to be displayed on a display, the display that displays the one or more symbols, and a selection device that selects at least one of the one or more symbols displayed on the display.

A holding structure for an optional component, the optional component configured to be added to a saddle-type vehicle, the holding structure includes a brace extending forward from a head pipe of a vehicle front portion, a plate supported from below by the brace, and a holder for the optional component provided on the plate. A periphery of a meter configured to display vehicle information is covered with a meter cover. The meter is supported by the plate so as to be exposed from the meter cover, and the optional component is held inside the meter cover by the holder.

A plastics container of modular construction includes a first plastics segment and a second plastics segment. The first and second plastics segments are connected to one another by plastics welding. At least one of the first and second plastics segments has a paintable surface layer on an outer side thereof or is comprised of a paintable material.

An air intake system for a vehicle has a conduit having an internal wall forming an air passage. A deflector is disposed within the air passage. A restricting structure is disposed within the air passage between the deflector and a conduit outlet. The restricting structure defines at least in part an opening substantially laterally aligned with the deflector. The restricting structure has a lateral wall disposed downstream of the deflector and extending within the air passage. The lateral wall has a front surface generally facing a conduit inlet, and a plurality of surface-increasing features provided on the front surface. Each of the surface-increasing features has a length of at least 1 mm measured from the front surface in a direction normal thereto. An air intake system having a collector connected to the deflector and positioned to collect at least some moisture from air flowing past the deflector is also described.

A control device of a gear transmission-equipped vehicle includes a power controller that starts power reduction control when it is determined that a start condition is satisfied, the power reduction control being control of reducing power transmitted from a driving source to a gear transmission. The start condition includes: a condition that a detection value of a gear position sensor that detects a current gear position of the gear transmission falls within a transition region between engagement regions corresponding to respective gear positions; and a condition that a speed difference obtained by subtracting a rotational speed of an output shaft of the gear transmission from a rotational speed of an input shaft of the gear transmission is a threshold or more.

A hybrid power unit includes: an internal combustion engine; a power transmitting shaft to which power from a crank shaft is transmitted and which is housed in a crank case; an electric motor including a motor driving shaft projecting from a motor housing toward a lateral side, the electric motor being located on an outer surface of the crank case; a linkage which extends through a through hole of the crank case and through which power from the motor driving shaft is transmitted to the power transmitting shaft; and a shaft cover defining a shaft space that houses a portion of the motor driving shaft which projects from the motor housing, the shaft cover being detachably fixed to the outer surface of the crank case so as to cover the through hole.
