Abstract:
An electric locking device for an operable/closable member attached to an opening portion, includes a biasing member which biases a pair of rods in a direction in which the rods are brought into engagement with a pair of locking portions, an actuator for sliding the rods to disengage from the locking portions, the actuator having a case having an opening portion, a motor disposed within the case, a worm rotated by the motor and a worm wheel supported rotatably on the case and interlocked with the worm for rotation. The worm wheel has a rotating portion projecting outwards of the case from the opening portion, and proximal end portions of the rods are assembled individually to the rotating portion so as to move in an associated fashion, causing the rods to slide in a synchronized fashion in opposite directions to each other.
Abstract:
One embodiment provides a retaining device. The retaining device includes a retaining member and a case member. The retaining member has a base and a shaft that protrudes from the side of the base. The case member includes: a frame which forms an opening; a pair of side walls which are erected from both side edges of the frame; and an insertion opening which is formed between the pair of side walls for inserting the retaining member from the rear side of the case member. A shaft hole is formed in each side wall, and the shaft is inserted into the shaft holes. A first slit is formed in each side wall and located between the insertion opening and the shaft hole.
Abstract:
The present invention is a retaining device, wherein a pedestal part is attached to a vehicle. The retaining part has a turning shaft part and a loading part. A main body turnably supports the turning shaft part. An outward-jutting part is provided on the main body and is designed to be secured to the bottom part of the pedestal part. A locking part is provided on the main body. A part to be locked is locked to the locking part. The locking part and the outward-jutting part are provided so as to sandwich the turning shaft part, and receive the load applied to the loading part.
Abstract:
There is provided a shock-absorbing device disposed between a fixed member and a movable member to suppress movement of the movable member. The shock-absorbing device includes a case member; a shock-absorbing member; and a spring. The case member has a bottom portion, a supporting portion, a shaft portion, and a circumferential wall. The shock-absorbing member has an inner cylinder into which the shaft portion is inserted, an outer cylinder, and a spring bearing portion. A retaining member is provided between the case member and the shock-absorbing member. An outer circumference of the outer cylinder is disposed in an inner circumference of the circumferential wall to function as a first guide for the shock-absorbing member, and an inner circumference of the inner cylinder is disposed on an outer circumference of the shaft portion to function as a second guide for the shock-absorbing member.
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:
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 valve device for a fuel tank has a housing having a valve chamber which is provided below a partition wall and a ventilation chamber which is provided above the partition wall; a recess having a first opening formed in the bottom section thereof and defining a part of the ventilation chamber; and a fuel vapor discharge opening formed in the inner periphery of the recess. The partition wall has a shelf-like wall section extending from the peripheral edge of a second opening and reaching the inner periphery of the recess. The shelf-like wall section has formed therein a first groove section extending from the second opening side and connecting to the recess. A ceiling wall is disposed above the shelf-like wall section with a gap therebetween.
Abstract:
The embodiments relate to a spring assembly for returning a piston by urging the piston slidably arranged in a case in a predetermined direction. The spring assembly includes: an annular member; and plural spring members fixed to the annular member and arranged to urge the piston against the case. The annular member includes plural notch portions disposed on one of an inner periphery and an outer periphery of the annular member between the adjacent spring members, and plural standing wall portions disposed on the other one of the inner periphery and the outer periphery of the annular member opposite to the notch portions between the adjacent spring members. Each of the standing wall portions has a linear shape when viewed in a direction along a central axis passing through a center of the annular member.
Abstract:
A pressing device is provided with a pin member, a coil-like spring member, and a spring receiving member which has a through-hole for allowing the pin member to be inserted therein and which supports one end of the spring member. The pin member has: a shaft section which has the spring member disposed on the outer peripheral side thereof; a head section which is interconnected with one end of the shaft section and which can come into contact with the contact surface of the opening/closing body; a spring support section which supports the other end of the spring member; and an engagement claw which engages with the outer surface of the mounting portion and which prevents the pressing device from being dislocated from the mounting portion.
Abstract:
A collar for a vehicle sun visor includes a pair of collar halves attached on a shaft body. The collar halves each include a receiving groove, a first locking hole and a second locking hole, and a first flexible claw and a second flexible claw. When the pair of collar halves is assembled, the flexible claw of one of the collar halves is inserted into and engages with the locking hole in the other of the collar halves, and the locking holes and the flexible claws are provided pair-wise and arranged opposite one another with the receiving groove therebetween.
