A leaning vehicle having a linkage mechanism supported by a linkage support part. The linkage mechanism includes left and right side members and a lower cross member. The lower cross member has a front cross part, a rear cross part, a coupling part coupling the front and rear cross parts, and a foreign-matter-entering-suppression part. The left and right side members are respectively rotatable about left and right axes extending in a front-rear direction of a vehicle body frame. The front and rear cross parts are rotatable about an intermediate axis parallel to the left and right axes. The foreign-matter-entering-suppression part fills a gap between the linkage support part, or the left or right side member, and the coupling part. The coupling part has a recess configured to accommodate the foreign-matter-entering-suppression part when the front and rear cross parts rotate with respect to the linkage support part.

Leaning vehicle

A first steering inter-axis distance between a left steering bearing and a right bearing of a linkage differs from a second steering inter-axis distance between a left joint steering bearing and a right joint steering bearing of a steering force transmission. A difference between a first left leaning inter-axis distance between a lower intermediate leaning bearing and a lower left leaning bearing and a second left leaning inter-axis distance between an intermediate joint leaning bearing and a left joint leaning bearing is smaller than a difference between a first left steering inter-axis distance between a front intermediate steering bearing and the left steering bearing and a second left steering inter-axis distance between an intermediate joint steering bearing and the left joint steering bearing.

A load transmission includes a left foot placement surface on which a left foot of a driver riding the vehicle is to be placed and a right foot placement surface on which a right foot of the driver is to be placed. The load transmission transmits a load to a left portion of a linkage by way of the left foot placement surface, and transmits a load to a right portion of the linkage by way of the right foot placement surface.

Toner for MICR

An object of the present invention to provide novel developing compositions for use in electrphotography which do not cause an adherence of ferrite carriers to the surface of a photoconductor while maintaining high definition and high picture quality of the picture image by using fine size ferrite carriers. The aforementioned developing compositions for use in elecrophotography comprise toners which contain a binding resin and colorant as main components, and ferrite carriers comprised of 5 to 40 mol % of ZnO and 60 to 95 mol % of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, and possess a saturated magnetization value of 70 to 100 emu/g in an applied magnetic field of 3000 oersted.

Developing compositions for electrophotography

A developer for electrophotography is disclosed including a magnetic carrier and a magnetic toner having a surface, wherein a silicon oil is caused to adhere to the surface of the magnetic toner is provided.

Electrophotographic developer comprising silicon oil on its surface

A toner for electrophotography, which is obtained by attaching fine particles, each of which is formed by coating a core particles, e.g., metal oxide powders, ceramics, inorganic particles or resin particles, with a long-chain fatty acid metal salt to a surface of each of toner particles. The present toner gives an excellent image without causing any phenomenon of white spot within character, and the image formed is free from any fog and black speckle in an image background portion.
