    Abstract: A flap valve apparatus includes a main body; a valve body; and a spring member. The main body includes support shafts, and the valve body includes bearing portions. When viewed from the axial direction of the support shaft, the bearing portions has a bearing hole with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the support shaft; and an introduction groove being in communication with the bearing hole from the seal surface side of the valve body. A width of the introduction groove is smaller than the outer diameter of the support shaft, but is expandable to receive the support shaft. When viewed from the axial direction of the support shaft, an opening portion of the introduction grove is positioned near the axial center of the main body.

    Abstract: There is provided a fastener including a band, a band fastening portion and a mounting portion. The band fastening portion includes a passage hole, a locking claw, a supporting wall portion, and a pair of side wall portions. The supporting wall portion extends in a direction from an inlet opening towards an outlet opening and has end faces. The band has a proximal end portion extending from the end face of the supporting wall portion. The pair of side wall portions are disposed so as to define a gap in a widthwise direction between the proximal end portion and themselves. End faces of the pair of side wall portions project further in a passing direction of the band through the passage hole than the end face of the supporting wall portion.

    Abstract: One embodiment provides a mounting structure including a hook member to be mounted on a mount member, and a mounting member. A base part of the hook member protrudes from the front side of the mount member. In the mounted state, a locking part of the hook member locks with a back rim of a mounting hole. An operation part of the mounting member is operated during the mounting on the mount member. An engaging part of the mounting member can engage with the locking part at the back side of the mount member. The mounted state is achieved by sliding, via an operation applied to the operation part, the mounting member substantially parallel to a front surface or a back surface of the mounting hole, such that the engaging part engages with the locking part.

    Abstract: A lock device includes lock portions, a pair of rods, a base member, a rotary member, and a manipulation member. The rotary member has a rod link portion coupled with the rods and transmit rotational power of the rotary member to the rods and a guide wall located inside the rod link portion in the rotary member and guides the rods. The guide wall includes arc walls or a cylindrical wall whose axis coincides with the rotation center of the rotary member. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to a bottom surface of the base member, the erection wall and the guide wall are opposed to each other with a gap. Coming-off-preventive structures for preventing the rod from coming off when the rod is inserted in the gap and coupled with the rod link portion is provided between the rod and the erection wall.

    Abstract: A lock device for holding an openable and closable member in a closed state. The lock device includes a base member, an operation member, a rod, and a cylinder lock. The cylinder lock has a protruding portion biased to protrude radially outwards to be engaged with an engaging portion formed on a rear side of a cylinder accommodating portion. The rod has a distal end portion configured to move out of a through hole formed in the openable and closable member to be engaged with a locking portion on a fixed member over a predetermined length with the openable and closable member left in a locked state, and a pushing portion enables a release of an engagement with the engaging portion when the rod moves in a receding direction to abut with the protruding portion, causing the protruding portion to recede against a biasing force.

    Abstract: The embodiment provides a tonneau cover device. The tonneau cover device includes a tonneau cover and a fixing device to engage with a lock portion to thereby hold the tonneau cover in a pulled-out-and-held state. The fixing device includes: a slider provided in a slidable manner and a hook provided in a swingable manner. When a force is exerted on an engagement protruding portion of the hook as a result of pushing in the tonneau cover toward the winding direction from the pulled-out-and-held state, and the exerted force acting on the engagement protruding portion is larger than the normally-given urging force acting on the engagement protruding portion, the hook swings such that the engagement protruding portion retracts into the case while causing the slider to be pushed in away from the sidewall, thereby being disengaged from the locking portion.

    Abstract: A fastener to be inserted into a holding hole of a mounted member and a mounting hole of a mount member, includes a head portion disposed on the mounting hole. A leg portion extends from the head portion to be inserted into the holding hole and the mounting hole. An engaging portion is provided on the leg portion to be brought into engagement with the mounting hole. An elastic projecting portion projects outwards of the leg portion. The elastic projecting portion is disposed away from the holding hole. The elastic projecting portion is brought into abutment with an inner circumference of the mounting hole to thereby be bent, and a largest outside diameter of a portion of the elastic projecting portion which is positioned on the rear side of the mounting hole is set to be equal to or smaller than a bore diameter of the mounting hole.
