Abstract: A parking brake device (80) for a vehicle, adapted to prevent a wheel or wheels from rotating by
the rotation of a parking lever (81b) at parking, wherein a left grip (76) is disposed on the left end of a
steering handle (16) and the parking lever is disposed in the area inward from the grip and
rotatably about an axis extending generally perpendicularly, in which when the parking lever
is rotated toward the position where the parking brake device is in operation, the parking
lever interferes a hand which is holding the left grip, and wherein the parking lever can be
rotated to the non-operating position of the parking brake by the hand while the left grip is
held by the hand.

Patent EP-1112686-A3 (EP)
Title: Pest repelling device
Inventor: DJUKATEIN ERIK
IPC: A01M29/26
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided an
elongated deterrent strip for mounting to an inanimate object to discourage birds
and other pests from resting on that object. The strip comprises a base of
electrically non-conductive material. The strip in lateral cross-section has
peripheral edges normally lying in a plane and a raised concave center portion.
The base has spaced notches along each edge to provide flexibility to the base,
whereby the base may be bent both out of the plane and within the plane. The
strip further comprises two electrically conductive wires secured to and
extending along the upper surface of the base, over the notches. The wires are
spaced so that pest's feet will contact both wires when perched on the base.
The wires are connectable to an energy source so that the bird or other pest's
feet will short the wires when it is perched on the strip, giving a mild shock to the
pest to discourage it from continuing its perch on the strip. The wires are
crimped in undulating fashion along their length, to provide them with give so
that they will not disassociate from the base when it is bent or when the wires
and base expand and contract at different rates.

which extends from a press-attaching portion 21, at a right
angle. Even when the flat plate portion 22 has a section, the
area of which is equal to that of a section of a connector 11
of a shield wire 10, the flat plate portion 22 can be bent in

annular ring could be reduced or narrowed. Positive spacing
of the hollow hammer members can be achieved by placing a
spacer (62) between the hollow hammer members. Alternatively,
positive spacing of the hollow hammer members can be achieved
by extending the hollow hammer members over the annular ring
on the anvil with a step (64) provided on the hammer members
to provide clearance for the annular ring on the anvil.
