A production system capable of further improving production efficiency and quality. The ring management system includes size measurement unit for measuring size of the ring, first convey unit for moving the ring w whose size has been measured, a first stocker having a plurality of storage positions for storing rings conveyed by the first convey unit, a second convey unit for conveying out the rings from the first stocker means for stacking, and a control unit. The control unit includes memory means for storing the rings size measured by the size measurement means in association with the storage position in the first stocker, first selection means for selecting a ring constituting a stacked ring according to the ring size stored in the memory means, and first instruction means to instruct the second convey unit to convey out the ring selected by the first selection means from the storage position pj in the first stocker.

Ring management system

The present invention provides a production system capable of further improving production efficiency and quality. The ring management system comprises size measurement unitfor measuring size (l, t) of the ring w, first convey unitfor moving the ring w whose size has been measured, a first stockerhaving a plurality of storage positions for storing rings conveyed in by the first convey unit, a second convey unitfor conveying out the rings from the first stockermeans for stacking, and a control unit. The control unitincludes memory meansfor storing for each of the rings wi, size (li, ti) measured by the size measurement means in association with the storage position pi in the first stocker, first selection meansfor selecting a ring wj constituting a stacked ring according to the ring size stored in the memory means, and first instruction meansto instruct the second convey unitso as to convey out the ring selected by the first selection meansfrom the storage position pj in the first stocker

A plurality of working blocks (A, B) are connected by rails (). A branched transporting mechanism () is disposed at the intersections of the rails (). A transportation vehicle () of non-self-propelled type moves on the rails () by the driving power of a wire (). A placement table () is positioned in the vicinity of the working blocks (A, B). The placement table () moves up and down with a workpiece placed thereon between the transportation vehicle () and the working blocks (A, B). Transfer of work is effected by moving the placement table () up and down, and adjusting the height of the placement table () to the height of the transportation vehicle () or to the height of the working blocks (A, B). Further, the transportation vehicle () has a wire gripping mechanism () for gripping the wire (), and workpiece placement plates () for placing the workpiece thereon.

A riding simulation system of motorcycle provides at least a model motorcycle on which a person can ride and which can be operated by a person. In response to the operation and movement of the person who rides on the model motorcycle, the model motorcycle is moved by a movable mechanism in a desirable direction such as a yawing direction, a rolling direction and a pitching direction. Preferably, the moving image such as the scenery which is seen from the running motorcycle is displayed in front of the person who rides on the model motorcycle. Such moving image is varied in response to the driving condition of the model motorcycle.

A roof is opened and closed by utilizing a trunk lid for opening and closing a trunk room. The trunk lid can be raised and lowered while it is held substantially horizontal. The trunk lid is provided with a roof slide unit for moving the roof in longitudinal directions. When opening the roof in a closed state, the trunk lid is raised to a position behind the roof, and the roof is moved rearwardly by the roof slide unit to be supported by the trunk lid. Then, the trunk lid is lowered down to a position to close the trunk room. This brings an end to an operation of opening the roof. A reverse procedure may be taken for closing the roof.

An apparatus for absorbing oil pressure in an impact tool with an eccentric oil chamber in a rotatable cylinder connected to a drive with a rotor and spindle. Movement of the rotor relative to the oil chamber urges oil into chambers outside of the rotor. A space chamber formed inside of the cylinder communicating with the oil chamber is filled with a soft elastic member such as foam rubber.
