A power transmission belt includes a belt body made of rubber and a cord embedded in the belt body. The belt body has a portion having the cord embedded therein, and the portion is made of a rubber composition having a storage normal modulus at 25&#xb0; C. in a grain direction of 80 MPa or more and the ratio of the storage normal modulus at 25&#xb0; C. in the grain direction to a storage normal modulus at 25&#xb0; C. in a cross-grain direction of 1.20 or more to 2.50 or less. The rubber composition is arranged such that the grain direction corresponds to a belt length direction and the cross-grain direction corresponds to a belt width direction.

Transmission belt

A power transmission belt includes a belt body at least portion of which is made of a rubber composition containing a rubber component, cellulose-based fine fibers, and cotton powder.

A side mirror for a straddle vehicle includes: a mirror stay including a base end portion attached to a vehicle body of a motorcycle (straddle vehicle); and a mirror portion including a mirror and provided at a tip end portion of the mirror stay. The mirror stay includes a first stay portion and a second stay portion which branch from the base end portion to extend toward the tip end portion.

A capacitance-type sensor sheet used for measuring an amount of stretch deformation and strain and/or distribution of stretch deformation and strain may include a dielectric layer made of an elastomer, an obverse-side electrode layer laminated on the obverse surface of the dielectric layer, and a reverse-side electrode layer laminated on the reverse surface of the dielectric layer. The obverse-side electrode layer and the reverse-side electrode layer may each contain carbon nanotubes and the average thickness of the each of obverse-side electrode layer and the reverse-side electrode layer may be 0.1 &#x3bc;m or more and 10 &#x3bc;m or less. The obverse-side electrode layer and the reverse-side electrode layer may be formed by applying a coating solution containing carbon nanotubes. The obverse-side electrode layer and the reverse-side electrode layer may each include a plurality of band-shaped bodies.

An attachment structure for a windshield is provided in an upper part of a vehicle body front part of a vehicle for easing wind pressure to a driver. The structure includes a plate attached to the windshield, a shield stay attached to a vehicle body, and a clamp capable of fastening the plate and the shield stay from the front and rear sides. The clamp includes an operation portion capable of manually operating fastening and fastening cancellation. By operating the operation portion so as to cancel the fastening of the clamp, the plate is movable upward and downward along the shield stay.

A pick-up style utility vehicle has a front seat and a rear seat surrounded by a cabin frame, and a cargo bed in this order from the vehicle front, a screen shield partitioning the cargo bed and a riding space in front of the cargo bed. The cargo bed is changeable between an expanded state in which the cargo bed is expanded into the riding space of the rear seat and a non-expanded state not occupying the riding space of the rear seat. The screen shield is supported by the upper portion of the cabin frame and is changeable between an expanded position in which the cargo bed and the riding space in front of the cargo bed are partitioned and a non-expanded position in which the cargo bed and the riding space in front of the cargo bed are partitioned without the necessity of detaching the screen shield from the cabin frame.

Pick-up style utility vehicle with expandable cargo bed

A pick-up style utility vehicle according to the present invention has a front seat, a rear seat, and a cargo bed in this order from front. The cargo bed is changeable between an expanded state in which the cargo bed is expanded forward to a rear riding space in front of the cargo bed and a non-expanded state not occupying the rear riding space. The rear seat forms side panels of the expandable portions of the cargo bed in the expanded state.
