Patent number: 8336914Abstract: A belt anchor comprises an anchor portion which changes the extending direction of a belt body toward a vehicle front, a bolt which supports the anchor portion, and a nut which fastens the bolt. The belt anchor is fixed to a lift gate inner and a second reinforcement at a position which is located near a pivotal axis of a hinge. Accordingly, a seatbelt device of a vehicle which can ensure both the properly-large slant angle of the belt body and the support strength of the belt anchor, keeping appropriate flexibility of the vehicle layout, can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2009Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Akira Ito, Hidetoshi Iwatani

Patent number: 6931246Abstract: A line coupling structure for coupling a dielectric waveguide to a suspended line has the dielectric waveguide including dielectric strips and two conductor plates that are approximately parallel to each other, the dielectric strips and a circuit board being sandwiched between the conductor plates. The line coupling structure also has the suspended line including the conductor plates and a conductor pattern on the circuit board. The conductor pattern is arranged in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the dielectric strips. A protruding conductor pattern that extends in the extending direction of the dielectric strips is provided at a crossing position of the conductor pattern and the dielectric strips.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2002Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidetoshi Iwatani, Sadao Yamashita

Patent number: 6642882Abstract: A mixer used in a millimeter-wave band and a microwave band capable of achieving loss reduction, a radar module, and a communication apparatus incorporating the mixer and having high efficiency. The mixer includes two electrodes formed on one main surface of a dielectric substrate and another electrode formed on another main surface thereof such that non-electrode portions on both main surfaces are opposed to each other via the dielectric substrate. Additionally, a diode is connected bridging a slit between the two electrodes on one main surface to constitute a circuit board. The circuit board and a dielectric strip are arranged between upper and lower conductive plates.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2001Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., LtdInventors: Hidetoshi Iwatani, Sadao Yamashita

Patent number: 6067002Abstract: A circuit substrate with a built-in coil has layers comprising respectively a wiring sheet, magnetic material, a flat coil, and magnetic material, which are overlaid. The wiring circuit sheet is made of polyimide, on which a circuit pattern is formed. The magnetic material is formed of a plurality of overlaid amorphous alloy sheets having slits and put together with adhesive. The flat coil may be formed by winding a copper wire covered with insulating film. The coil component, including the magnetic material and the flat coil, and the wiring circuit sheet are adhered to each other with the circuit pattern and the coil component being electrically connected to each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1996Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masato Fujino, Hidetoshi Iwatani, Kouichi Nitta

Patent number: 5463365Abstract: A coil contains a winding part and a core. The winding part is formed of plural laminated sheets each having a winding pattern. Plural winding patterns are formed on at least one sheet. Each of the winding patterns has a different number of turns, and the winding patterns are formed around the core so as to be coaxial in the same winding direction. The winding patterns formed on the other sheets are connected via a through-hole, and an end of the winding pattern is connected to an input/output portion formed outside of the sheet.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1993Date of Patent: October 31, 1995Assignee: Murata Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidetoshi Iwatani, Masato Fujino, Shinji Matsumoto, Choichiro Fujii, Masakazu Kazama

Patent number: 5386206Abstract: A layered coil, having high connection reliability, formed by alternately stacking a plurality of coil conductors and insulators. Outlet portions of the of coil conductors are connected with each other without using through holes. The coil conductors are formed on surfaces of insulating sheets so that the outlet portions of the coil conductors project from edges of the insulating sheets. The insulating sheets are stacked so that the outlet portions of the coil conductors can be connected, by spot welding or the like, with each other or with terminals in portions projecting from surfaces of the layered product.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1992Date of Patent: January 31, 1995Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidetoshi Iwatani, Masakazu Kazama, Masato Fujino
