Publication number: 20180191099Abstract: In a waterproof structure for a connector, in order to prevent that water is infiltrated into openings of cavities accommodating terminals, a pair of housings include resin annular members which protrude in a fitting direction to surround the openings. One annular member has a protrusion part which is formed on a way between a tip and a root thereof over an entire circumference. The protrusion part is formed to have a top part which presses an inner circumferential surface or an outer circumferential surface of the counterpart annular member at a time of fitting the pair of housings.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2018Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: Keiji Hamada, Tomoyuki Miyakawa, Kazuyuki Ochiai

Patent number: 9831595Abstract: A connector waterproofing structure watertightly seals a gap between openings of cavities of a pair of housings which accommodate terminals. In the structure, the pair of housings includes annular members formed at each of ends of the openings. The annular members are made of resin, protrude and surround the openings, either one of the annular members is formed into such a shape to be pressed to an inner peripheral surface or an outer peripheral surface of the opposite annular member, when the pair of housings are fitted together, and the inner peripheral surface or the outer peripheral surface are obliquely formed so that the wall thickness of the opposite annular member is gradually increased from the distal end toward the back.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignees: YAZAKI CORPORATION, HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Keiji Hamada, Tomoyuki Miyakawa, Kazuyuki Ochiai, Masaki Imamura

Patent number: 9776493Abstract: A battery holding structure includes a battery tray for storing a battery therein. A battery holding rack is configured to store the battery tray with the battery stored therein and to allow the battery tray to be pulled out along widthwise directions of the vehicle. A ground wire has one end connected to a negative terminal of the battery and another end connected to a grounding member on a vehicle frame. A movement prevention member fixes the other end of the ground wire to the battery tray and prevents the battery tray from being pulled out to one side along the widthwise directions of the vehicle with the ground wire which is connected to the grounding member.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2015Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuhiko Ono, Toru Hasegawa, Naoyuki Yamate, Kazuyuki Ochiai, Yoji Kanaoka, Hirotaka Sato, Teppei Oshima

Publication number: 20120236583Abstract: A headlamp device can include a headlight bulb and position light bulbs. In addition, the headlamp device can have an intermediate member between the lens and a reflector by which light from the headlight bulb is reflected. The intermediate member is provided with cutouts through which a gas present on the lens side relative to the intermediate member can flow to the base member side relative to the intermediate member. Thus convection of the gas takes place easily, whereby release of heat from within the internal space is accelerated.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2012Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuyuki OCHIAI, Norifumi SHIMIZU, Tasuku SEKINE
