Abstract:
A control unit 10 controls brake forces of brake systems of a pair of brake operation elements L1, L2 operated independently to perform an anti-lock brake control for eliminating a locked state of a wheel. The control unit 10 applies the brake force to one of the wheel brakes B1, B2 of the brake system which differs from the brake system of the operated brake operation element when the brake operation elements L1, L2 is operated. When one or both of the brake operation elements L1, L2 are operated and so the wheel likely falls in a locked state, the control unit 10 performs an anti-lock brake control on the brake system of the wheel likely falling in the locked state and also performs a brake force application control on the other brake system which is different from the brake system of the wheel likely falling in the locked state.
Abstract:
In a steering wheel with an air bag device, a horn pad is provided above the air bag device. The air bag device is arranged above a boss plate provided at the center of the steering wheel. Further, a horn switch mechanism operated by depressing the horn pad is provided. In the steering wheel, the horn pad is integral with a core covering portion of a steering wheel body, and a depressing plate is provided immediately below the horn pad. The air bag device is fixedly secured to the boss plate. The depressing plate is preferably substantially rigid, and is so shaped as to straddle the air bag. Resilient members resist the depression of the depressing plate, and pairs of contacts of the horn switch mechanism are provided between the depressing plate and the boss plate to actuate the horn.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an antistatic photo-resist containing an antistatic agent. Since antistatic photo-resist according to the present invention is hardly charged, it can be suitably used as a mask in implanting ions into semiconductor substrate.
Abstract:
A steering wheel incorporates a hard portion bonded to the overall circumference in the cross-sectional circumferential direction of a ring portion and a soft portion molded to cover the core metal of the ring portion. The hard portion and the soft portion can be formed around the core metal of the ring portion by collective injection molding. A coating layer can be provided for the surface of the hard portion, and leather can be bonded to the surface of the soft portion.
Abstract:
A steering wheel is provided with a steering wheel body, a boss core and an air bag device held by the boss core. The steering wheel body includes a core portion having a ring core and spoke cores and a cover portion covering the core portion. The cover portion includes a core cover layer covering the ring core and the spoke cores and a ceiling cover layer continuously formed with the core cover layer covering the center of the steering wheel. The boss core holds an air bag device between the boss core and the ceiling cover layer. The boss core also has a connection part that allows a steering shaft to be connected from underneath the steering wheel.
Abstract:
A steering wheel core metal unit comprising a boss section, a boss/spoke connecting section, spoke sections and a ring section integrally die-cast, with the boss section serving as an insert. Before trimming and after being released from a die caster, the boss/spoke connecting section of the core metal unit is provided with a gate section and the ring section comprises a pair of inside and outside ribs. Overflow sections are provided along the outer periphery of the ring section at substantially the intermediate positions among the spoke sections, respectively. The sectional area of the outside rib is made larger than that of the inside rib so that a final molten metal merging portion comes to lie at the outer periphery of the ring section. Accordingly, even when the molten metal moves in the cavity of the die caster as it entrains air, the air can escape from the overflow sections and no blowhole is formed in the core metal as a die cast product.
Abstract:
A steering wheel assembly in which a main body is slidably connected to a boss for connecting the steering wheel onto a steering shaft. The steering wheel main body has a connecting plate with a pair of tapered guide rails that will slidably receive a hooking portion therein. When the hooking portion is inserted into the guide rails, the position of the steering wheel main body is defined at a desired position relative to the shaft.

Abstract:
An air bag device is arranged at an upper portion of a steering wheel body, and horn switch mechanisms are arranged between a mandrel of the steering wheel body and a bag holder of the air bag device. The mandrel comprises a plurality of brackets each having an engaging member which is opened at a lower portion thereof and which extends horizontally. Upward movement of the bag holder is restricted by mounting screws threadedly engaged with mounting holes in the bag holder, the screws extend from below the engaging members of the brackets. The bag holder is retained by the mandrel in a manner to be movable downwardly.
Abstract:
A brake control system includes at least a pair of brake systems respectively connected to a pair of brake operating members L1, L2, and a control unit 10 for controlling the brake forces of the pair of brake systems interlockingly according to a predetermined distribution ratio by operating one of the pair of brake operating members L1, L2. The control unit 10 executes a decreasing control on the brake forces in such a manner that, when releasing the pair of brake operating members L1, L2, the control unit 10 decreases both of the brake forces together, even in a state where the control unit performs the interlocking control so as to decrease the brake force of one of the brake system as the brake force of the other of the brake system is increased in accordance with the predetermined distribution ratio.
