A braking system of an industrial vehicle includes an accumulator accumulating hydraulic oil, a hydraulic oil cooler cooling the hydraulic oil, an electromagnetic switch valve switching between an oil channel for the accumulator that allows supplying the hydraulic oil from a hydraulic pump to the accumulator and an oil channel for the hydraulic cooler that allows supplying the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic oil cooler, and a controller controlling the electromagnetic switch valve to switch from the oil channel for the hydraulic cooler to the oil channel for the accumulator with timing of an increase after a drop in an engine speed when a cargo-handling operation is detected while an oil is at a setting pressure value or less and while the engine speed is at a setting engine speed or less.

Braking system of industrial vehicle

An apparatus for distinguishing a liquid reducing agent which judges empty with a higher precision than heretofore is provided. The apparatus for distinguishing a liquid reducing agent is provided with a concentration sensor and a liquid-level sensor in storage tank of liquid reducing agent, and is characterized in that empty is judged by utilizing the liquid-level based on the liquid-level sensor in addition to the concentration based on the concentration sensor (stepand step). Even if a bubble is adhering to the concentration sensor and an erroneous signal indicative of empty is output although the residual quantity of liquid reducing agent is sufficient, the liquid-level sensor does not output a signal indicative of empty. Consequently, erroneous judgment is prevented and accurate judgment can be made as compared to heretofore.

A liquid state detecting sensor is provided in which a level detecting unit for detecting the level of a liquid and a concentration detecting unit for detecting the concentration of a particular component contained in the liquid are integrated. In a liquid state detecting sensorcapable of measuring the level and a urea concentration of a urea aqueous solution, a level detecting unitand a liquid property detecting unitare connected in an insulated state. An outer cylinder electrodeand an inner electrodefor forming the level detecting unitform a capacitor, and level detection is performed on the basis of the electrostatic capacity which changes in response to the level of the urea aqueous solution which is present therebetween. A holderfor holding a ceramic heateris fitted to a leading end portionof the inner electrode, and the holderis supported inside a leading end portionof the outer cylinder electrodeby a rubber bushing. Further, the urea concentration is determined by a liquid property detecting circuit unit of a circuit boardby energizing a heat generating resistor pattern provided on the ceramic heaterfor a fixed time duration and on the basis of a voltage value corresponding to a resistance value of the heat generating resistor pattern obtained at this time.

An electrostatic capacity type liquid state detecting sensor includes an outer tubular electrode, and an inner electrode disposed within the outer tubular electrode and having an insulation layer at an outer surface portion to be brought into contact with liquid contained in a container for detection of a state of the liquid, wherein the thickness of the insulation layer is less than 500 &#x3bc;m and not less than 100 &#x3bc;m.

An airbag according to the present invention comprises an airbag body and a plurality of tearable wrapping yarns. The wrapping yarns are wound around the outer circumference of the wrapping area of the airbag body as folded into a generally rod-like shape, along the axial direction of the airbag body and to obliquely intersect the axial direction.

The distance between the adjacent wrapping yarns along the axial direction of the airbag body is within the range of 20 to 60 mm in the wrapping area. The yarn strength of each wrapping yarn is within the range of 7.4 to 65N. In the airbag of the present invention, the airbag body in the wrapping area is kept in a compact shape by a simple wrapping work, while securing the smooth expansion and inflation.

Airbag

A head protecting air bag apparatus includes a lid and an air bag. The lid is disposed at an upper edge side periphery of an opening at a vehicle's inner side in a vehicle body and at an upper portion of a pillar portion. The air bag is attached to the vehicle's inner side of the vehicle body, is housed at a vehicle's outer side position of the lid in a folded state, and pushes and opens the lid to cover the opening when unfolding and expansion is caused by inflow of gas for expansion. The air bag is folded so that a lower edge side approaches an upper edge side, and an attachment portion at the upper edge side is attached to the vehicle body so that the air bag is housed at the vehicle's outer side of the lid. A part of a lower end of the lid is disposed at a vehicle's outer side of an upper end of a pillar garnish covering a vehicle's inner side of the pillar portion. A part of the air bag at a position where the lower end of the lid is disposed at the vehicle's outer side of the upper end of the pillar garnish has a more intensified force to push and open the lid than another part. In the head protecting air bag apparatus of the invention, when the air bag is unfolded and expanded, the lower end of the lid disposed at the vehicle's outer side of the upper end of the pillar garnish easily gets over the upper end of the pillar garnish. Then the air bag is smoothly unfolded and expanded.

An airbag including an expansion part accommodating inflow of expansion gas to expand a peripheral wall, and linear joining portions arranged in a region of the expansion part and constituted by joining facing portions of the peripheral wall in a linear manner. The linear joining portions include a linear base, curved portions and swelling portions. Each of the curved portions is connected to the base and curvilinearly extends and bends toward the respective base thereof. The swelling portions are arranged at tip ends of the curved portions to smoothly connect outer peripheral edges thereof to outer peripheral edges of the curved portions. With this airbag, stress concentration is reduced around the swelling portions and the curved portions at the time of development and expansion. Thus, the linear joining portions can be arranged without causing breakage of the peripheral wall during development and expansion, and reduction in volume and expansion area held down as much as possible.
