  • Patent number: 11104254
    Abstract: A console support device comprises a first bracket including a placement portion on which a console box is placed; and a second bracket fixed to the first bracket. The second bracket includes a joint portion joined to a lower surface of the placement portion, an inclined portion provided to obliquely bend downward from a rear end of the joint portion, and a base portion provided to bend from a lower end of the inclined portion. A cantilever region which is supported on the joint portion in a cantilever manner is provided on a rear end side of the placement portion. A connection part between the joint portion and the inclined portion forms a first bend portion. A connection part between the inclined portion and the base portion forms a second bend portion.

  • Patent number: 10254539
    Abstract: On the basis of information detected from a peripheral situation detecting section and information from an automatic driving support section, a display control section generates image data in which marks for driving support of an own vehicle are drawn so as to be superposed on a forward situation diagram that shows a situation at a front side. Further, from information detected by an eye detecting section and from the image data, the display control section sets a vanishing point in accordance with a height position of eyes and computes a display image. Moreover, on the basis of the information detected by the eye detecting section, the display control section causes a display image to be displayed on the front windshield glass by a HUD such that the vanishing point is set in accordance with the height position of the eyes.

  • Patent number: 9895960
    Abstract: A front defroster nozzle apparatus includes a retainer, and a guide fin. The retainer includes an inlet opening, an outlet port, and a retainer base. The retainer base is branched into two forked elements (i.e., first and second branches having a first outlet opening and a first inlet end and a second outlet opening and a second inlet end, respectively). The outlet port involving the first and second outlet openings has an outlet width of 400 mm or less that is larger than an opening width of the inlet opening. The first and second outlet openings have first and second opening widths being larger than first and second opening widths of the first and second inlet ends. The retainer base includes a throttled portion whose flow-passage cross-sectional area accounts for from 80% or less to 60% or more of a flow-passage cross-sectional area of the inlet opening.

  • Patent number: 9651780
    Abstract: A vehicular information display device is equipped with a first reflection portion that is formed by a front windshield itself or a combiner that is provided on the front windshield, a second reflection portion that is formed by a second combiner that is provided apart from the front windshield, and a floodlight that projects display light onto the first reflection portion and the second reflection portion. The vehicular information display device is characterized in that the first reflection portion and the second reflection portion generate a three-dimensional indication with a virtual image according to the first reflection portion and a virtual image according to the second reflection portion superimposed on each other, or an integral indication with a virtual image according to the first reflection portion and a virtual image according to the second reflection portion integrated with each other.

  • Publication number: 20160121696
    Abstract: An air blowing device capable of keeping an air outlet invisible to the extent possible without impairing a function as the air blowing device, including: a tubular body defining an airflow passage and an air outlet; a guide wall for guiding an airflow having passed through the air outlet in an intended direction; and an on-off valve forming a part of the guide wall, which is capable of opening or closing a concave portion formed in the guide wall. The guide wall has a convex surface shape protruding in a direction intersecting with a forward direction of the air outlet, and is arranged so that a projection image, which is obtained by projecting the guide wall onto an imaginary plane including the air outlet, covers the entire air outlet. The on-off valve is configured to open or close the concave portion in accordance with the intended direction.

  • Publication number: 20160075310
    Abstract: A defrosting performance identical to that in a conventional front defroster nozzle device is exhibited by a simpler structure even in the case of decreasing the overall length of a front defroster nozzle device in the direction of vehicle width. A current of air from a front blow-opening formed on the same side as a windshield is mainly sent to the left and right end portions of the windshield and a current of air from a rear blow-opening adjacent to the front blow-opening and formed further inside the vehicle interior than the front blow-opening is mainly sent to the central portion of the windshield. Accordingly, currents of air are inhibited from interfering with each other.
