Abstract:
A thin circuit board such as a flexure has a metal support layer forming a substrate, a base insulating layer provided on the metal support layer, a wiring layer being wiring traces provided on the base insulating layer, a cover insulating layer covering the wiring layer, internal terminals provided to the respective wiring traces and sequentially arranged side by side, each one internal terminal of said internal terminals used to be solder-bonded to a corresponding external terminal through solder material, and a wall provided for the solder material on at least any one of adjacent internal terminals of said internal terminals.
Abstract:
A suspension includes a load beam and a flexure. The flexure has a metal base and a conductive circuit portion. The conductive circuit portion has an insulating layer formed on the metal base, and a conductor formed on the insulating layer. The conductive circuit portion includes a first region which constitutes a part of the conductive circuit portion in the longitudinal direction, and a second region which constitutes another part of the same in the longitudinal direction. The conductor includes a thin conductor portion having a first thickness arranged in the first region, and a thick conductor portion having a second thickness arranged in the second region. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness.
Abstract:
A vertical motion impeller-type shot peening device performs a second shot peening to a coil spring including first shot peening indentations. The vertical motion impeller-type shot peening device includes a workpiece holding mechanism including a lower end turn support and an upper end turn support, a stress applying mechanism which compresses the coil spring, a rotation mechanism, and a projection mechanism which includes a pair of vertically movable impeller units. A first rough surface including first shot peening indentations is formed on a part of end turn portions of the coil spring. A second rough surface including second shot peening indentations is formed on the entire surface of wire except for the first rough surface.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a shift actuator includes a main body section and a shaft section. The main body section has an electric motor which has a vertically extending rotating shaft, and a gear mechanism which rotates the shaft section in accordance with the rotating shaft. The shaft section has a threaded shaft extending parallel to the rotating shaft and made to rotate by the gear mechanism in accordance with the rotating shaft and a movable nut which is screwed onto the threaded shaft and moves upward or downward with rotation of the threaded shaft. The movable nut is connected with a shift member which changes the gears of a propeller shaft.
Abstract:
A vehicle seat includes: a seatback frame of a resin-formed seatback, including a plate-shaped back face panel portion; a headrest; a seatback pad; a lattice-shaped spring member formed from wire arranged in a lattice shape, attached to the seatback frame at a front side of the back face panel portion, and that resiliently supports the seatback pad from a rear side, with a space formed between the back face panel portion and the lattice-shaped spring member; and a load transmission section provided at one of the lattice-shaped spring member or the back face panel portion and disposed inside the space so as to project out toward the side of the other one of the lattice-shaped spring member or the back face panel portion, such that a gap is formed between the load transmission section and the other one of the lattice-shaped spring member or the back face panel portion.
Abstract:
A fastening member includes a first alloy portion and a second alloy portion. The first alloy portion is made of an aluminum alloy including 0.005 wt % to 5.0 wt % zinc and 0.6 wt % to 2.0 wt % magnesium and is provided to a part that comes into contact with at least one of a plurality of members serving as a fastening target. The second alloy portion is made of an aluminum alloy including more than 2.0 wt % and 5.0 wt % or less magnesium and more than 5.0 wt % and 10 wt % or less zinc and is joined to the first alloy portion.
Abstract:
A hollow stabilizer (1) according to the invention is formed in a hollow shape and includes a bent portion (1c1, 1c2, m1-m5). With a thickness of an inner side of the bent portion (1c1, 1c2, m1-m5) being larger than a thickness of an outer side of the bent portion (1c1, 1c2, m1-m5), a hardness of the outer side of the bent portion (1c1, 1c2, m1-m5) is higher than a hardness of the inner side of the bent portion (1c1, 1c2, m1-m5) through quenching by cooling down after heating by electrical heating.
Abstract:
A stabilizer bar with rubber bush includes a stabilizer bar (2), and at least one rubber bush (6) adhesively fixed to at least a portion of the stabilizer bar. The stabilizer bar (2) and the rubber bush (6) are adhesively fixed to each other with an adhesive agent layer (3). The adhesive agent layer (3) includes a primer agent layer (4) formed on a surface of the stabilizer bar (2) and having a dry film thickness of 3 μm or more and 13 μm or less; and a first top coat agent layer (5) formed on the primer agent layer (4) and having a dry film thickness of 5 μm or more and less than 13 μm.
