Abstract: A sunroof device includes a movable panel provided at a roof of a vehicle for opening and closing an opening of the roof, and a deflector provided at a front end of the opening. The deflector is movable upward above the roof and foldable below the roof depending on a position of the movable panel. The deflector has an engaging portion, and a stopping member has an engaged portion engageable with the engaging portion and movable by a first predetermined distance relative to the engaging portion until the engaging portion engages with one end of the engaged portion. The stopping member is further movable together with the deflector by a second predetermined distance relative to the roof after the engaging portion engages with the one end of the engaged portion.

Abstract: A connecting portion for elastically connecting a receiving member to a stationary member is formed in such a manner as to be integral with the receiving portion. The connection portion is attached to the stationary member through the stationary portion. This stationary portion is surrounded by the receiving member across a gap SR. There is no frame serving as a stationary member around the receiving member. Thus, the movable structure becomes thin as a whole.

Abstract: A connector is so constructed that terminals 12 on a vehicle body side have contacts 12a exposed inwardly from engaging recess 11a of a first connector member 10, while terminals 22 on an electrical equipment module side have contacts 22a partially exposed outwardly from engaging projections 21a of a second connector member, and the connector has a contact structure 30 adapted to bring the terminals 12 on the vehicle body side and the terminals 22 on the electrical equipment module side into contact to electrically connect them to each other by inserting the engaging projections 21a of the second connector member 20 into the engaging recess 11a of the first connector member 10.

Abstract: In the guide ribs 2b of the meter unit 2 and the guide rail grooves 3b of the insertion opening 3 of the center cluster panel 1, there are formed play restrict portions 2c, 2d as well asb 3c, 3d respectively for restricting the movements of the guide ribs 2b from the time just before the mutual fitting engagement of the terminals of the two connectors 4A and 4B to the time just after the mutual connection of the two connectors 4A and 4B. Due to this, from the time just before the mutual fitting engagement of the terminals of the two connectors 4A and 4B to the time during the mutual connection of the two connectors 4A and 4B, the inclination of the meter unit 2 can be reduced by setting the positioning accuracy in this range equivalent to the fitting accuracy of the terminals of the two connectors 4A and 4B. This eliminates a fear that an excessive force can be applied to the two connectors 4A and 4B while they are fitted with each other.

Abstract: A connecting portion 70 for elastically connecting a receiving member 30 to a stationary member 1 is formed in such a manner as to be integral with the receiving portion 30. The connecting portion 70 is attached to the stationary member 1 through the stationary portion 50. This stationary portion 50 is surrounded by the receiving member 30 across a gap SR. There is no frame serving as a stationary member around the receiving member 30. Thus, the movable structure becomes thin a whole.

And this connector is incorporated in a computer.

Abstract: A cable arrangement indicating and inspecting apparatus for a connector is disclosed. Cables are removed from cable receiving portions (1) in accordance with indicator LEDs (2) caused to blink by a first driving portion (23), and light from illuminative LEDs (28) turned on by a second driving portion (35) is directed through light emitting optical fibers (29) and detecting optical fibers (14) into receiving holes of a connector to directly illuminate the interior of select receiving holes into which terminals are to be inserted. When the terminals are inserted into the select receiving holes, the light reflected from the terminals is directed through the detecting optical fibers (14) and light receiving optical fibers (31) onto light receiving portions (30), and proper terminal insertion is detected on the basis of a light reception signal from the light receiving portions (30).

Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic display unit wherein a motor driving portion including a CPU and a driving IC controls a drive current to a motor (11) so that the motor (11) initially rotates at a low speed and subsequently rotates at a high speed to switch the speed of rotation of a case (3) from a low speed to a high speed, whereby operability is ensured if a rotation control switch is disposed on a front surface of the case (3), preventing conventionally increased size of the unit as well as alleviating user's feeling that rotation requires too much time.
