    摘要: A tilt steering apparatus has a pivot fixed to, for example, a pair of fixed side plates of a vehicle body. The pivot is inserted through a connection hole provided in a steering column. At the time of tilt adjustment, the steering column is swung around the pivot. In either one of an inner peripheral surface of the connection hole and an outer peripheral surface of the pivot opposite thereto, a projection extending in a substantially circumferential or axial direction is formed in contact with the other peripheral surface. Consequently, the contact area between the pivot and the connection hole is reduced, thereby reducing friction therebetween. When the pivot is pressed into the connection hole, the projection is suitably crushed, so that fitting between the pivot and the connection hole is loosened, which is useful for the reduction in the friction therebetween.

    摘要: A lower bracket for mounting a steering column to a vehicle body is formed as a single element that is fixed to the vehicle body by inserting a bolt with a collar therethrough. Upon application of an impact load, the lower bracket forces the bolt and collar into a path of a smaller width than the collar thereby plastically deforming an edge portion of the path for absorption of the impact energy.

    摘要: An active-matrix LCD causes no cross-talk even if the capacitance between a given cell and adjacent data lines is large. The LCD has a liquid crystal panel which has data lines arranged in parallel with one another, scan lines arranged orthogonally to the data lines, and liquid crystal cells arranged at the intersections of the data and scan lines, respectively. Each of the cells has a cell electrode and a switching device that is arranged between and connected to the cell electrode and a corresponding one of the data lines. The conduction of the switching device is controlled in response to a scan pulse applied to a corresponding one of the scan lines. The LCD also has a data driver for applying data signals to the data lines, respectively, so that the data signals are written to corresponding ones of the cells, and a scan driver for applying the scan pulse sequentially to the scan lines. The data driver applies positive and negative signals that are opposite to each other with respect to a reference level, to each of the data lines within the period of the scan pulse, to zero an effective voltage applied to each data line. As a result, a voltage sustained by any cell to which data has been written is not affected by voltages successively applied to a data line to which the cell is connected and a data line to which the cell is capacitively connected.
