Abstract: A shift-lock mechanism includes a lock member to lock or unlock a transmission range-switching member, a solenoid to be operated in response to operation of a brake on a vehicle, and an engagement arm to be engaged releasably with the solenoid. A plunger of the solenoid is movable between a retracted position outside a movement path of the engagement arm, and an engagement position is stretched across the movement path of the engagement arm. When a selector lever is manually moved into a parking range zone, the plunger is moved forwardly from the retracted position to the engagement position to allow a peripheral wall of the plunger to stop movement of the engagement arm. In response to a braking operation, the plunger is moved backwardly from the engagement position to the retracted position to allow stopping of the movement of the engagement arm to be released.

Abstract: A toner set has toners used in an image forming method by forming a toner image with toners of several colors and fixing the toner image onto a recording medium.

Abstract: A waterproofing method is provided for a wire to be arranged in a water susceptible area of a vehicle. The method includes removing an insulating coating layer in a lengthwise intermediate part of the wire to expose a core. A fluid waterproofing agent then is dropped to an exposed core section. Negative pressure then is introduced into the inside of the insulating coating layer from wire ends to suck the waterproofing agent into the inside of the insulating coating layer. Alternatively the exposed core section is loaded with pressure air to press the waterproofing agent into the inside of the insulating coating layer. Thus the waterproofing agent is infiltrated between the strands inside the insulating coating layer.
