  • Publication number: 20190363323
    Abstract: A battery holding structure includes a battery having a brim, a carrier having a main body accommodating the battery and a flange extending outward from an upper end of the main body, and a clamp for fixing the battery to the carrier. An upper surface of the flange is an inclined surface that extends downward and outward. The clamp includes a first contacting part that comes into contact with the inclined surface, a first standing part standing from the first contacting part, and a fastening part to be fastened to the flange. A normal line of the inclined surface passing through a contact point between the inclined surface and the first contacting part passes inside a point where the fastening part is fixed to the flange so as to be positioned on a battery side.

  • Patent number: 10391966
    Abstract: A vehicular occupant restraining device, that includes: an inside air bag arranged on an inner side, in a vehicle width direction, of a side frame in a side section, the inside air bag receiving a gas supply from a second inflator, the inside air bag deploying by inflation in the side section earlier and at a higher pressure than a side air bag, and the inside air bag pressing a seated occupant to an inner side in the vehicle width direction. The inside air bag is configured so as to deploy by inflation in a region more to a vehicle upper side than a second-from-bottom rib of six ribs provided in a torso of an AM50 type international standard side collision dummy, in a state in which the dummy is seated in the vehicular seat.

  • Patent number: 7306014
    Abstract: In a lower surface side layer of an industrial two-layer fabric, warps are formed by sequentially arranging a repeating design unit, in which one warp passes over six successive lower surface side wefts, passes under one lower surface side weft, passes over two lower surface side wefts, and passes under one lower surface side weft while shifting the design by three lower surface side wefts. Two adjacent lower surface side warps simultaneously weave therein, from the lower surface side, one lower surface side weft, whereby the lower surface side weft passes over two lower surface side warps and then passes under eight lower surface side warps to form a weft long crimp corresponding to eight lower surface side warps on the lower surface side surface.

  • Patent number: 6540286
    Abstract: According to a body structure of the present invention, a floor panel member is reinforced by a pair of first members, and the second member comprised of plural pipes is disposed along the width of a vehicle so as to integrate the first members. An end of the second member is extended along the longitudinal side of the vehicle and is fixed by welding in the state of penetrating into a side sill. There is no necessity of providing any reinforcement material because the second member has a high strength continuously along the width of the vehicle. Moreover, there is no necessity of increasing a board thickness for the purpose of securing the rigidity because the second member penetrates into the side sill. On the other hand, the second member can be manufactured by cutting an existing steel pipe to a predetermined side. It is therefore possible to cope with the change in the width of the vehicle only by changing a cutting size.

  • Patent number: 6510873
    Abstract: A press fabric for a pulp machine is a weft-abrading type fabric manufactured by weaving a warp monofilament and a bundled yarn. The bundled yarn has fine water-sucking spaces formed between raw filaments of a small diameter by bundling up the raw filaments. Monofilaments may also be used as the wefts in combination with the bundled yarns. The bundled yarn forms the most protuberant crimp to the surface of the fabric which results in improved water-sucking ability, washing ability, showering resistance, and abrasion resistance.
