Abstract: A side airbag apparatus is employed in a vehicle seat that includes a seat back and a seat belt guide. The seat back includes an accommodation portion in a lateral portion. The seat belt guide is attached to the lateral portion at a location above the accommodation portion. The side airbag apparatus includes a gas generator, an airbag, and a pressure receiving member. The gas generator and the airbag are installed in the accommodation portion. The pressure receiving member is arranged rearward of the airbag, and includes a main body and an upper restricting portion. The main body includes a pressure receiving surface, which extends along an axis of the gas generator. The upper restricting portion is located above and adjacent to the main body and includes an upper restricting surface located forward of an imaginary upward extension of the pressure receiving surface.

Abstract: A side airbag apparatus is employed in a vehicle seat that includes a seat back (14) and a seat belt guide (23). The seat back (14) includes an accommodation portion in a lateral portion on the outer side. The seat belt guide (23) is attached to the lateral portion at a location above the accommodation portion. The side airbag apparatus includes a gas generator (30), an airbag (35), and a pressure receiving member (40). The gas generator (30) and the airbag (35) are installed in the accommodation portion. The pressure receiving member (40) is arranged rearward of the airbag (35) in the accommodation portion, and includes a main body (41) and an upper restricting portion (43). The main body (41) includes a pressure receiving surface, which extends along an axis (L1) of the gas generator (30). The main body (41) receives the pressure of inflation gas in the airbag (35) on the pressure receiving surface and produces reaction force in a forward direction, which is perpendicular to the pressure receiving surface.

Abstract: A sliding device includes a fixed rail, a movable rail, a shutter to close an opening of the fixed rail, an engaging body including a pressed portion, an engaged portion, a resilient element, and a pressing portion provided to the movable rail or the shutter. The shutter is slidable relative to the fixed rail by receiving a force from the movable rail. The engaging body is provided to one of the shutter and the fixed rail, and the engaged portion is provided to the other. The engaging body is displaceable between an engaged position where it is engageable with the engaged portion and a disengaged position displaced from the engaged position. The resilient element produces a resilient force maintaining the engaging body in the engaged position. The pressing portion contacts with the pressed portion when the movable rail slides, thus displacing the engaging body to the disengaged position.

Abstract: Disclosed is one example of a sliding device allowing for reliable sliding of members that close an opening of a fixed rail. The sliding device includes: a fixed rail including an opening arranged in a longitudinal direction of the fixed rail; a movable rail slidable with respect to the fixed rail in a state where at least part of the movable rail is exposed through the opening; a first closure member slidable with respect to the fixed rail and capable of closing at least part of the opening, the first closure member receiving a force from the movable rail to thereby slide; a first engaging portion provided to the first closure member and disengageably engaging with a first engaged portion provided to the movable rail; and a second engaging portion provided to the first closure member and disengageably engaging with a second engaged portion provided to the fixed rail.

Abstract: Disclosed is one example of a sliding device in which occurrence of damage of a member closing an opening of a fixed rail can be inhibited. The sliding device includes: a fixed rail including an opening opened upward, the opening being arranged in a longitudinal direction of the fixed rail; a movable rail slidable relative to the fixed rail in a state where at least part of the movable rail is exposed through the opening; and a first closure member slidable relative to the fixed rail and capable of closing at least part of the opening, the first closure member receiving a force from the movable rail to thereby slide in a state where an opposed surface opposed to the movable rail is spaced apart from the movable rail via a clearance. The movable rail includes a support portion that supports the first closure member in a slidable manner.

Abstract: Disclosed is one example of a sliding device allowing for reliable sliding of two members closing an opening of a fixed rail. The sliding device includes: a fixed rail including an opening arranged in a longitudinal direction of the fixed rail; a movable rail slidable relative to the fixed rail in a state where at least part of the movable rail is exposed through the opening; a first closure member slidable relative to the fixed rail and capable of closing part of the opening, the first closure member receiving a pressing force from the movable rail to thereby slide; and a second closure member slidable relative to the fixed rail and capable of closing part of the opening in cooperation with the first closure member, the second closure member being in sliding contact with the first closure member and receiving a pressing force from the movable rail to thereby slide.

Abstract: Equipments such as outfits or plant elements are divided according to their functions. Some or all of equipments with related functions are accommodated as a module into a frame so that a plurality of frame modules are formed. The frame module is arranged in a space or the frame modules are arranged in three-dimensionally in the space.
