PURPOSE:To economize the energy for the auxiliary machinery of an automobile, by temporarily storing the kinetic energy of a shock absorber to utilize the energy for the auxiliary machinery. CONSTITUTION:An expansible/compressible single-acting shock absorber 3 is mounted between the wheel 4 and body 5 of a motorcycle 1. Hydraulic hoses 16, 17 are connected to the top and bottom of the cylinder 6 of the shock absorber 3. The hose 16 is connected to a hydraulic accumulator 20 mounted in a half portion of a tank 18, through a check valve 19 etc. The hose 17 is connected to an oil reservoir 21 through a check valve 19. A hydraulic cylinder 25 for erecting or putting away a stand 24 is connected to a oil supply/drain hose. When the motorcycle 1 is moving, the shock absorber 3 is expanded and compressed in the axial direction to store the energy of pressure oil in the accumulator 20. The hydraulic cylinder 25 is driven by the stored hydraulic energy to erect the stand 24. |
