Publication number: 20230339410Abstract: A support structure for supporting a flat inverter located between seats aligned along the vehicle width direction is provided. A bracket supports the inverter in a horizontal position above a floor tunnel of a floor between the seats in a passenger compartment such that it is spaced apart from the floor tunnel. The bracket has a pair of rear leg portions aligned along the vehicle width direction. Middle parts of the pair of rear leg portions are formed so as to be easily bent outward or inward in the vehicle width direction. When a load is applied to the bracket due to movement of the seats during a side impact on the vehicle, the pair of rear leg portions bend, and the horizontal position of the inverter is disrupted.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masato KUNISADA, Takashi TAGAITO, Motoyuki TANAKA, Seiji HAYASHI, Kenta KAMIYA, Kohta KONDOH

Patent number: 11260910Abstract: A suspension member includes a side rail. The side rail is formed in a closed sectional structure by combining an upper member, a lower member, and a reinforcing member located between the upper member and the lower member. The upper member and the reinforcing member are fixed by welding and form a closed cross section having an upper hollow portion. The reinforcing member and the lower member are fixed by welding and form a closed cross section having a lower hollow portion. A distance from an upper end to a lower end of the upper hollow portion in a vertical direction in the lower bending portion is longer than that in the upper bending portion, and a distance from an upper end to a lower end of the lower hollow portion in the vertical direction in the upper bending portion is longer than that in the lower bending portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Kenta Kamiya

Patent number: 10464411Abstract: A radiator support cover includes a plurality of gutter members and a plurality of external air supply vents formed between the gutter members. The external supply vents allow the external air introduced from a front grill of a vehicle to flow toward the vehicle engine. The gutter member includes an upper gutter member and a lower gutter member, which is positioned below the upper gutter member and displaced relative to the upper gutter member in a width-wise. The lower gutter member is arranged at a tilted angle with respect to the horizontal line. A notch is formed at the width-wise lower end of the lower gutter member.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kuniaki Hasegawa, Kenta Kamiya

Patent number: 9463757Abstract: An electric junction box 1 includes: a box main body 2; and a tubular guide portion 6 projecting from the box main body 2 and guiding a plurality of electric wires 7 to an outside of the box main body 2. While the electric wires 7 are passed through the guide portion 6, a fixing member 8 is continuously wound from the guide portion 6 to the electric wires 7. The guide portion 6 is provided with an expanded portion 67 gradually expanded toward an outside of the guide portion 6 as the guide portion 6 is extended from the box main body 2 to an end portion away from the box main body 2.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Shutoh Soh, Kenta Kamiya

Patent number: 9241417Abstract: The waterproof structure of an electrical junction box herein prevents water from entering into the electrical junction box. The electrical junction box includes a main body having a groove formed on an outer wall thereof and a tubular wire cover composed of front and rear split covers. Electric wires are passed downward through the wire cover and fixed to a lower portion of the wire cover using a tape. The wire cover is slidably engaged with the groove of the junction box main body. The waterproof structure includes a step portion as a water stop formed on a rear wall of the wire cover. The rear wall is arranged in contact with or adjacent to a back wall of the groove so that the step portion prevents water from entering into the electrical junction box from bottom along the back wall of the groove through the electric wire.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2012Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Shutoh Soh, Kenta Kamiya, Kouki Sato

Patent number: 9198316Abstract: An electrical wire jacketing configuration used in an electrical junction box herein has a body portion in which a recess is formed. The electrical wire jacketing configuration includes a gutter-shaped portion configured to pass an electrical wire therethrough, a slidable engaging portion formed in both end portions of the gutter-shaped portion in the across-the-width-direction, and is slidingly engabeable with a guide portion of the recess, and a projection extending from the gutter-shaped portion toward the recess so as to prevent possible erroneous or wrong attachment of the electrical wire jacketing configuration to the recess. The recess may have a secondary guide portion configured to proceed the projection into the recess such that the projection can engage with the recess. The electrical wire jacketing configuration to which the electrical wire is fixed slidably moves toward the recess in a longitudinal direction of the electrical wire, and thereby mates with the recess.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Shutoh Soh, Kenta Kamiya, Kunihiko Takeuchi, Takeshi Onoda

Patent number: 9006572Abstract: The electric wire fixture device is provided with a bottom wall on which the electric wire is placed, and a side wall upstanding from the bottom wall. The side wall is provided with an aperture passed through by a fixing member for fixing the electric wire. The fixing member fixes the electric wire so that the fixing member passes through the aperture after being wound around the electric wire and that the electric wire is then brought close to the side wall. The side wall is provided with a pair of ribs projecting toward the electric wire from the side wall. The pair of the ribs is disposed spaced along a longitudinal direction of the electric wire, and the pair of ribs is disposed to position the aperture therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2011Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Kunihiko Takeuchi, Kenta Kamiya
