  • Publication number: 20080073919
    Abstract: This door-locking knob construction of a vehicle is provided in an inside of a vehicular door. A door-locking knob is rotationally provided in a knob-installation portion inside the vehicular door, and switches between a locking and an unlocking of a door-locking mechanism in accordance with a rotational position thereof. The door-locking knob is provided with a lock face which is continuous with a surface of the knob-installation portion while in a locking position, and an unlock face which is continuous with the lock face and is exposed to the same side as the surface of the knob-installation portion while in an unlocking position. The unlock face is formed in a substantial arc shape centering on a rotational axis of the door-locking knob. A gap between the knob-installation portion and the unlock face is maintained to be a predetermined small width, in a rotational range between the locking position and the unlocking position.

  • Publication number: 20070080503
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sealing device capable of preventing the leakage of a sealed fluid over a wider range of from a lower speed to a higher speed without narrowing of a seal gap. A seal gap 25 is provided between a rotor 3 and a stator 5, and a movable floating ring 6 is disposed in the seal gap 25. The floating ring 6 is formed so that if its thickness T is defined as 1, its length in a widthwise direction perpendicular to a thickness-wise direction is defined as equal to or larger than 3.

  • Patent number: 6640499
    Abstract: A door weather strip structure includes a first weather strip and a second weather strip, fitted into a door sash. A seal block kept in elastic contact with a retainer of the door sash is provided in the vicinity of a connection between a molded part which is a portion of the second weather strip, corresponding to the roof of an automobile, and an extruded part on the side of a pillar, positioned on a side opposite from an extruded part on the side of a center pillar. The seal block prevents water intruding on the molded part from flowing down through the gap passage formed among the first weather strip, the second weather strip, and the door sash making ingress into the interior of the automobile through the lower part of the front pillar.

  • Patent number: 6536834
    Abstract: A door weather strip with seal lips attached thereto, fitted to a door sash, and provided with a gap of a given magnitude on a vertical plane between edges of respective seal lips of both an extrusion molded part on the side of a roof and an extrusion molded part on the side of a center pillar, a reinforcing rib is provided over the whole length of a seal lip of a molded part, which connects the extrusion molded parts with each other to form a corner section. The reinforcing rib is located on the interior side of an automobile where no elastic contacts with a body panel is being made, thereby preventing the waving from occurring to the molded part.
