A maintenance time notification device includes a storing unit storing a threshold value of a usage time or a traveling distance for each of a plurality of vehicle parts; a measuring unit measuring the usage time and the traveling distance of a vehicle since the vehicle began to be used for each of the vehicle parts; a maintenance period determination unit determining a maintenance period of eachof the vehicle parts by comparing the usage time and the traveling distance measured by the measuring unit, with the threshold value; and a reporting unit reporting to a passenger based on a determination result of the maintenance period determination unit.

An object of the present invention is to generate a stable damping force and enhance durability of a main valve in a hydraulic shock absorber in which valve opening of the main valve is controlled by an inner pressure of a backpressure chamber. A first piston 3 and a second piston 4 coupled to a piston rod 10 are fitted in a cylinder 2 such that a piston chamber 2 C is defined between the first and second pistons 3, 4 . An extension-side main valve 18 and a compression-side main valve 23 are provided in the piston chamber 2 C. Valve opening of the main valves is controlled by an extension-side backpressure chamber 19 and a compression-side backpressure chamber 24 . A compression-side check valve 13 and an extension-side check valve 16 are provided at the first piston 3 and the second piston 4 .; During an extension stroke of the piston rod 10 , the compression-side check valve 13 is closed, whereby action of a pressure of a cylinder upper chamber 2 A on the compression-side main valve 23 is prevented. During a compression stroke of the piston rod 10 , the extension-side check valve 16 is closed, whereby action of a pressure of a cylinder lower chamber 2 B on the extension-side main valve 18 is prevented. Accordingly, it is possible to generate a stable damping force, and enhance durability of the extension-side main valve 18 and the compression-side main valve 23.

The invention provides a banknote handling machine which can improve set degree of freedom and sort and stack banknotes according to various classification modes. The banknote handling machine includes a take-in unit configured to take in a plurality of banknotes, one by one, a recognition unit configured to recognize a kind of each banknote taken in a take-in unit, a plurality of stacking units, respectively configured to stack therein the banknotes, a transport unit configured to transport the banknotes, respectively recognized by the recognition unit, to any of the plurality of stacking units, an instruction accepting unit configured to accept an instruction concerning an automatic decision mode provided for deciding the kind of the banknotes to be stacked, by utilizing a recognition result obtained by the recognition unit, for each of the plurality of stacking units, and a control unit configured to control the transport unit to transport each banknote to a destination, which destination is decided based on the instruction accepted by the instruction accepting unit and on the recognition result obtained by the recognition unit.

There is provided a cover panel including a lighting device which is attachable without a mounting seat. A cover panel 1 includes a panel main body 5 fixed on an instrument panel 3 in an interior of an automobile and a lighting device 6 provided inside the panel main body 5. The panel main body 5 comprises an opening 7 which forms a gap between itself and the instrument panel 3, and light emitted through the opening 7 from the lighting device 6 illuminates the interior of the automobile. The panel main body 5 and the lighting device 6 are integrated and are fixed on the instrument panel 3, so that the cover panel 1 including the lighting device 6 can be fixed on the instrument panel 3 without utilizing the mounting seat as was conventionally done.
