A platform for a pushchair includes a frame with at least one wheel, and a device for reversibly connecting to the frame of a pushchair supported by the frame. The device can be attached between left and right uprights of the pushchair, belonging to left and right rear portions of the pushchair frame, parallel to and facing each other, with respective and second female housings. The device includes: first and second male elements moving relative to the frame between a connection position and a disconnection position; and a mechanism for activating the first and second male elements, this mechanism being suitable for: jointly moving, through the action of only one hand of a user, the first and second male elements from their connection position to their disconnection position; and automatically returning the first and second male elements from their disconnection position to their connection position.

The present invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted apparatus having a biasing structure using a coil spring capable of reducing a lateral force of a coil spring that is applied to a biasing target member. When N1, n1, N0, and n0 represent the number of effective turns when the relief valve spring 37 is set in a valve hole 34 of a spool 29 in a compressed state, a value of an integer of N1, the number of effective turns when a length of the relief valve spring 37 is a natural length, and a value of an integer of N0, respectively, the spring 37 satisfies an equation 1: 0N1n10.25 or an equation 2: 0.75N1n1<1.

A steering system of a vehicle is provided. The steering system adjusts the torsional rigidity of a torsion bar without limitation as to the configuration thereof and performs active control responding to the vehicle state by adjusting steering characteristics by controlling the torsional rigidity of the torsion bar based on the traveling condition, load state or driving mode of the vehicle. The steering system includes an MR assist device, which is coupled to an end portion of the torsion bar and adjusts the rotation and torsional rigidity of the torsion bar using an MR fluid as a working fluid.
