An engine output control and a constant vehicle speed control switch adapted to effect easy release of the control. The control comprises a throttle grip, a valve link with a return spring and a constant speed control, and a cable connecting these elements. The switch is connected to the cable and is responsive to the tension of an inner wire of the latter.

Engine output control device and constant vehicle speed control release

A constant vehicle speed retaining device for motorcycle, comprising a control mechanism connected to a cable provided between a throttle valve and a throttle grip, for controlling the angle of opening of the throttle valve during the time interval between a constant speed control command and a cancellation command. A set switch generates the constant speed command, and a cancellation switch generates the cancellation command to the control mechanism. The cancellation switch is located near the throttle grip and operates in response to rotation of the latter in a decelerating direction.

Constant vehicle speed retaining device for motorcycle

One feature of the present invention is a battery to be mounted on a vehicle, in which the battery casing is formed with a recess into which a starter magnetic switch is fitted. Another feature of the invention is a starter magnetic switch which can be fitted into the recess formed in the battery. The starter magnetic switch has a rocker means which is made of a conductive material. The rocker means has a moving electric contact which is biased normally open and which is closed when the solenoids built into the switch are energized, to close the drive circuit of a starter motor. The rocking means has one end projecting to the outside of a switch casing and is fastened to the positive terminal of the battery. In addition, a supporting means, which projects to the outside of the switch casing at the side opposed to the portion where the rocking means projects, is fastened to the negative terminal of the battery. The rocking means is arranged such that the portion fastened to the positive terminal of the battery and the portion to be attracted by the solenoids are offset while holding a generally parallel relationship not in a common plane.

Battery and switch to be mounted on vehicles

An ignition device of the capacitor discharge type for small automobiles or two-wheeled vehicles, having an A.C. generator with a converter which transforms the alternating current supplied by a stator coil into direct current, increasing the voltage. Ignition voltage is provided by a charging control which releases the charge stored in a capacitor with the required timing.

Capacitor discharge type ignition device

A safety device for a motor-cycle having an engine, a fluid coupling operatively connected to the engine, a power transmission mechanism which receives power from the fluid coupling, the transmission mechanism having at least two-stage speed changing function of low speed drive and high speed drive, and a shift indicating switch means which changes over in association with the shifting operation in the transmission mechanism to indicate the low speed drive, or high speed drive, or neutral position, wherein the improvement comprises a switching circuit provided between the shift indicating switch means and the ignition circuit, the switching circuit forwarding an output signal from it to the ignition circuit, when the shift indicating switch means is changed over to either the low speed drive range or the high speed drive range at the start of the engine, whereby the ignition circuit is rendered inoperable.
