A vehicle including a first member rotatably supporting a rear wheel, a second member disposed in front of the first member, and a coupling member disposed between the first member and the second member and fixed to the first member and the second member to support the first member and the second member swingably in a left-right direction about an axial line in a front-rear direction. The coupling member is provided so that a position of the post-swing ground contact point is closer to the axial line than a position of the post-swing ground contact point in the left-right direction before the first member swings, the ground contact point being a center in an area on a surface of the rear wheel in contact with a road surface, the post-swing ground contact point being the ground contact point after the first member swings about the axial line.

Vehicle

This non-pneumatic tire is provided with a tread ring, a wheel which is arranged radially inside of the tread ring, and spokes which are interposed between the tread ring and the wheel. Further, the wheel has a disc part to which the vehicle shaft is linked, and a rim part which is connected on the inner peripheral side to the disc part and is joined on the outer peripheral side to the spokes. In this configuration, the average thickness (T1) of the disc part is set to be greater than the average thickness (T2) of the rim part. In other words, the relation T1&#x3e;T2 holds.

A current applying device in which a contact electrode is destroyed firstly when a large current is applied in the event of failure. A probe device is configured by serially connecting a contact body that is to be in contact with the surface of a power semiconductor to apply a current and a pressing body assembly that presses the contact body so as to apply the current to the power semiconductor and is configured so that, when the pressing body power applied to the pressing body assembly is smaller than the withstand power of the pressing body assembly, the contact body power applied to the contact body is larger than the withstand power of the contact.

Current applying device

A current applying device is provided in which a contact body which surface-contacts with an inspection target body makes contact with the surface of the inspection target body uniformly; current can be favorably applied from the contact body to the inspection target body; and the contact body alone can be replaced. A probe devicefor applying current by being in pressure-contact with the power semiconductor H includes: a contact bodywhich surface-contacts with the power semiconductor H; and a plurality of electrically-conductive two-tier springswhich press the contact bodyonto the power semiconductor H; the contact bodyand the plurality of electrically-conductive two-tier springsare separate bodies, and the plurality of electrically-conductive two-tier springselectrify the contact bodywhile providing pressing force F to each of a plurality of sections of the contact body
