Patent number: 9586731Abstract: A lid opening/closing mechanism includes an arm, an arc-shaped gear, a first fixed gear, a damper, a second fixed gear, and a tension spring. The arm is disposed integrally to project from the lid to swing about a swing center as the lid opens and closes. The arc-shaped gear is formed in the arm. The first fixed gear is disposed in the body, and meshes with the arc-shaped gear. The damper is disposed in the arm, and includes a damper gear. The second fixed gear is disposed in the body, is formed along a movement locus of the damper moving as the lid moves to open and close, and meshes with the damper gear. The tension spring is disposed between the body and the arc-shaped gear to urge the lid in an opening direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinichi Sawada, Nobuhiko Yokota, Kunihito Kondo

Patent number: 9561745Abstract: There is provided a cup holder including a holder body, an opening formed in a side wall of the holder body, a support supported on the side wall so as to advance into or retreat from a storage space through the opening, and a leaf spring disposed between the support and the side wall and biasing the support in a direction in which the support advances into the storage space. The support has a turning shaft serving as a center of swinging of the support and a swinging portion swinging around the turning shaft by turning of the turning shaft. On a peripheral edge of the opening formed in the side wall, a nipped portion protrudes to the outside of the side wall and swingably holds the support by being nipped between the turning shaft and the swinging portion while the support advances or retreats.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinichi Sawada, Nobuhiko Yokota, Tomoyuki Nakayama, Kunihito Kondo
