Abstract: A damper device provided between a fixed body having an opening portion and an openable and closable body mounted on the opening portion and configured to apply a braking force to the openable and closable body. An elastic resin member is mounted on a projecting portion provided on the openable and closable body. A receiving recess portion is provided on the fixed body to receive the elastic resin member. The elastic resin member has a base portion; a pair of arm portions; a bridge portion; and a stopper, which are formed integrally. The receiving recess portion has: an introducing portion configured to abut with the arm portions to bend them diametrically towards each other; and a restricting portion configured to abut with the stopper to restrict the openable and closable body from opening, when the openable and closable body opens to cause the elastic resin member to move.

Abstract: A lock device for holding an openable and closable member mounted on an opening portion of a fixed member, includes a base member, an operation member, and a rod. The operation member has an operating portion exposed to a front side of an outer member, and a pivotally supporting portion pivotally supported on the base member. The base member has a hook portion configured to be hooked on a mounting edge portion formed on the outer member, and a locking claw portion configured to be locked on a locking edge portion formed on a rear side of the outer member to restrict the base member from moving in a direction in which the base member moves away from a rear surface of the outer member.

Abstract: A damping device has a pin member inserted slidably in a cylindrical case member. The bottom of the case member has: a hole forming section in which an insertion hole is formed; and a slit for allowing the hole forming section to be expanded and deformed. The outer peripheral surface of the pin member and/or the inner peripheral surface of the hole forming section has a tapered section tilted relative to the axial direction. The movement of the pin member of being pressed into the insertion hole from the inside causes the outer peripheral surface of the pin member and the inner peripheral surface of the hole forming section to slide on each other along the tapered section, and as a result, the insertion hole is expanded.

Abstract: A part fixture which is locked on a locking portion of a vehicle body and which is inserted into a mounting hole on a mount portion provided on a vehicle body to be fixed in place therein to thereby mount the vehicle part on the mount portion, includes an accommodating portion, a locking piece, a pair of flange portions, and a pair of elastic engaging pieces. The elastic engaging pieces each have an engaging claw and an operation knob. When the pair of elastic engaging pieces are deflected inwards of the accommodating portion, the pair of elastic engaging pieces are brought into abutment with the side wall portions or the locking portion of the vehicle part which is accommodated in the accommodating portion so that any further deflection thereof is restricted.

Abstract: A lock device is provided with a housing, a rotary member, a pair of link rods provided with a hook part, a spring for the rotary biasing of the rotary member, and an operative member mounted so as to be able to be inserted into the housing. A cam protrusions formed in the rotary member, and a wall part having a cam slope which abuts the cam protrusion is formed in the operative member. The configuration is such that by inserting the operative member, the rotary member resists the biasing force of the spring and rotates, and the hook part of the link rods slides in a position in which it does not engage with the lock part.

Abstract: In a mounting tool for mounting an injector on a cylinder head of an engine by being engaged with the injector connected to a fuel pipe, and urging the injector toward the cylinder head, a first band portion has a ring shape so as to surround an outer circumference of the injector, and is disconnected in a circumferential direction by a slit. A second band portion has a ring shape so as to surround the outer circumference of the injector, is disconnected in the circumferential direction by a slit, and is arranged adjacent to the first band portion in an axial direction. Plural elastic band portions connect the first band portion and the second band portion in the axial direction. The mounting tool is made of a single metallic plate.
