A steering angle sensor detects a rotational angle of a steering system whose steering is assisted by driving of an electric motor via a reduction mechanism so as to calculate a steering angle of a steering wheel. The steering angle sensor has: a sensor wheel operating simultaneously with rotation of a steering shaft; and an absolute angle calculating means for calculating an absolute steering angle based on a steering angle signal from the sensor wheel. The sensor wheel has a GMR element and a magnetizing portion which is arranged around the GMR element, and the rotational angle is detected with two turns of the steering shaft being one cycle based on a change in resistance value of the GMR element obtained by changing a magnetic field direction according to rotation of the magnetizing portion.

In preparing a wire harness production, modified wire harness wiring pattern information is generated. The generated information relates to second patterns, in which some parts of a first pattern are altered. Each of the second patterns is simulated for practicality. Where practical, according to the simulation, a first sub-pattern is modified to one of the second sub-patterns to achieve the desired second pattern. Jig arrangement pattern information is generated by applying at least one sub jig arrangement pattern to each of the wire harness path patterns of a standard type vehicle included in wire harness path pattern information. Path decision information is used to select one wire harness path pattern. A jig arrangement pattern selector selects a jig arrangement pattern. A path plan is generated by integrating the modified second sub pattern having the necessary alterations and the selected jig arrangement pattern.

A structure of support leg member having a pair of reinforcing pieces formed laterally thereof, which is used with a seat slide device provided in an automotive seat, wherein an inclinable portion is defined in the upper securing portion of the support leg member on which a guide rail of the seat slide device is securely amounted. The inclinable portion allows the guide rail to be inclined by a great load applied thereto in excess of a tolerable amount, thereby protecting the seat slide device against damage. The inclinable portion, for instance, may comprise an upward protuberant bead formed in the upper securing portion so that a pair of spacings are defined between the guide rail and a base portion of that upper securing portion such as to allow inclination of the guide towards the center of the automotive seat. Alternatively, the inclinable portion may be embodied by bending one or both of the two reinforcing pieces outwardly to render the support leg member so less rigid as to be buckled slantwise by the foregoing great load, thereby allowing inclination of the guide rail towards the center of the automotive seat.

A separate lubricating device for an internal combustion engine includes a lubricating oil injection nozzle for injecting a lubricating oil into a passage of an air intake system and an electric deliverer for delivering a lubricating oil from an oil tank to the lubricating oil injection nozzle. The electric deliverer is positioned remotely from the lubricating oil injection nozzle. The electric deliverer may, to special advantage, be housed inside the oil tank.

A two-cycle internal combustion engine provided with at least one fuel injection nozzle, wherein the fuel injection nozzle is provided with a heating element for heating the fuel so as to cause the fuel to undergo a phase change before the fuel is injected from the fuel injection nozzle. A fuel control circuit for controlling the heating element is attached to the engine so that an AC electromotive force generated at a generator portion of an ignition device is input therein and, based on such electromotive force, the heating element is controlled. All of the ignition device, the fuel controlling circuit and the generator portion are formed into a single integrated body which functions as an ignition/fuel controlling device.

A lighting device for a vehicle includes a mechanism for preliminarily fitting a lens to an extension before it is firmly fitted to a housing of the lighting device. To assure that a lens fitting operation is easily achieved at a reduced cost, a fitting hole is formed through an auxiliary foot portion extending from a housing fitting foot portion of the lens. A boss in the form of a tapered pin-shaped projection extends from the extension at the position corresponding to that of the fitting hole. In addition, a flange portion is formed at the upper end of the extension. The lens fitting operation is performed by inserting the boss into the fitting hole while the flange portion is placed on the upper surface of one of the side walls defining a lens receiving groove formed at the upper end of the housing of the lighting device. In the case that there is no possibility that water invades in the interior of a lighting chamber of the lighting device, the fitting hole may be formed directly through the housing fitting foot portion.

A cover plate for covering an upper opening of a spare wheel housing for accommodating a spare wheel of a vehicle. The cover plate is so formed as to completely cover the upper opening of the spare wheel housing and is provided at a center of a lower surface of the cover plate with anchoring means adapted to resiliently engage a hub hole of a wheel disc of a spare wheel, thereby preventing the cover plate from being shifted by vibrations or other forces of the vehicle.
摘要:
A gas engine is driven by fuel gas supplied from a cassette gas canister, and includes a vaporizer device provided between a cylinder block and a muffler. The vaporizer device vaporizes liquid fuel gas, led out from the cassette gas canister, using heat of exhaust gas discharged from the cylinder block.

A pressure container includes a metal socket and a CFRP layer that contacts the metal socket. A metal oxide layer is formed on a first contact area where the socket contacts the CFRP layer. The socket may be made of aluminum or aluminum alloy, and the oxide layer may be formed by anodizing the socket.

In a metal material processing method, two metal materials are arranged to face each other in a processing portion, and a distal end of a rod-shaped rotary tool is inserted into the processing portion while rotating the rotary tool, thereby the two metal materials are processed. The distal end of the rotary tool has a probe protruding in a central portion and a shoulder in a peripheral portion. The probe and the shoulder are constituted by different materials in at least surface portions that are in contact with the metal materials.
