  • Patent number: 9772493
    Abstract: Provided is a head-up display device such that shaking of a display image due to vibration can be mitigated. This head-up display device, which reflects display light output from a display unit with a reflection unit so as to produce an image to be viewed, includes a first supporting part for supporting the reflection unit rotatably about a rotation axis and a first supported part provided at one end of the reflection unit and supported by the first supporting part. The first supported part has a spherical surface formed thereon, and the first supporting part has a sliding surface that is formed therein and is in substantially point contact or line contact with the spherical surface formed on the first supported part. A first elastic member that presses the first supported part and the first supporting part against each other in the rotation axis direction is provided.

  • Patent number: 8864325
    Abstract: A power transmission device which is free from a possibility of breakage of a driving member is provided. A stepping motor (driving member) 61a configured to be driven on the basis of a command signal from a controller 70, a lead screw portion 61c configured to be rotationally driven in association with the drive of the stepping motor 61a, and a power transmitting member 65 configured to move along an axial direction X of the lead screw portion 61c in accordance with the rotation of the lead screw portion 61c and transmit a power to a power transmitted member 42e are provided, and the controller 70 is configured to control the output of the command signal to the stepping motor 61a to be stopped when the power transmitting member 65 is not moved along the axial direction X.

  • Patent number: 6510399
    Abstract: A method including acting a pointer toward a first target value B of the pointer from an indicated value A1 of the pointer determined at the present time, comparing the first target value B and a second target value C, judging whether the second target value C is increased or decreased relative to first target value B, using a predetermined function to obtain an indicating characteristic which indicates a value equal to or more than first target value B from the indicated value A1 of the pointer where the second target value is increased, and an indicating characteristic indicating a value equal to or less than first target value B from indicated value A1 of the pointer where the second target value is decreased, and smoothly acting the pointer using an indicated value p in unit of output updating cycle in accordance with the indicating characteristics.

  • Patent number: 6031305
    Abstract: A stepping motor capable of improving the degree of smoothness of the rotation of the rotor thereof is provided. According to the present invention, when the width of each of magnets (41, 42, or 44, 45) in the axial direction of the rotor (3) of the stepping motor is expressed by W0, the width of overlapping of each of sets of pole teeth 15, 16 and 25, 26 in the axial direction of the rotor 3 is expressed by W1 and the width of a space between the inner surfaces of each of outer yokes(14, 24) and each of inner yokes(13, 23) is expressed by W2, the width W0 of each of the magnets (41, 42) is so set as to satisfy the relationship of W2>W0>W1.
