Abstract: The present invention concerns an arrangement for flushing toilets with flushing systems for water-saving flushing with the aid of recirculating discharge water and comprising at least one toilet with a toilet bowl (2) which presents a discharge outlet (4) at its lower end and a closure arrangement (8) for the discharge outlet. An upper flushing system with inlet for water to the toilet bowl is arranged for flushing discharged material down to the discharge outlet, whereby a discharge conduit (5) leads from the discharge outlet (4) of the toilet bowl at the closure arrangement to a discharge tank (7). A lower flushing system with inlet (11, 12) for recirculating discharge water is arranged to recirculate discharge water from the discharge tank. Said inlet (11, 12) for the recirculated discharge water is positioned below the closure arrangement (8), and is directed substantially from the closure arrangement, so that when the discharge water is injected through said inlet under pressure, an underpressure is created below the closure arrangement in order that, after opening this, the transport of the discharged material will be furthered in a direction from the toilet bowl.

Abstract: To provide a front fender capable of improving an aerodynamic characteristic. 
     A front fender 10 for covering an upper side of a front wheel 2 forms a three-dimensional curved surface, in which side portions 16 of a front portion 14 projecting forwardly from front forked portions 4 are curved so as to be extended outward and sideward, and right and left lower end portions 18 are bent to be curved inwardly. A guide plate 26 extending in the longitudinal direction and projecting sideward is provided on a bottom case 20 of each front forked portion 4. An integral flow of running wind is formed by the three-dimensional curved surface of the front portion 14 of the front fender 10 and the guide plates 26 on the vehicular side, thus reducing the air resistance. A rectifying area is also increased, to intensify the flow of air toward the guide plates 26, thus stabilizing the torque control of a steering system.

Comparator (24) output (R) causes a controlling bistable (22) to open a solid-state switch (S), interrupting the current. Load current (I2) then flows while the core demagnetises, till a detector (26), monitoring the voltage at the switched end of the input winding, causes the bistable to reclose the switch (S). Operation continues on this cycle, the mean load current provided depending on the cyclic switching ratio.
