Abstract: A vehicle inspection device for an inspection implemented with a tire of a vehicle idling includes a tire supporter. The tire supporter includes rollers structured to allow the tire to idle; a housing supporting the rollers so as to allow the rollers to rotate; a stopper contained in the housing and structured to move up and down and butt into the tire disposed on the rollers; and a link mechanism structured to elevate the stopper. The vehicle inspection device is structured to be disposed on a plane that allows the vehicle to run thereon.

Abstract: A waterproof push button switch does not need to be covered with a resin to a height at which a divided connected portion of a case for the switch is hidden by the resin in a height direction and the divided connected portion may be waterproofed. A gap (55, 57) is formed between a peripheral wall portion 7b of a base case 7 and a second cylindrical wall portion 9b of a cover case 9, and between an opposite surface 41 of the cover case 9 and a waterproofing seal member 11. The gap (55, 57) extends from an opening portion of the base case fitting chamber 37 to an annular watertight seal portion 51 to completely surround a periphery of the watertight seal portion 51. The thickness of the gap portion 55 is determined so that the resin entered into the gap portion 55 from an opening portion 37a of the base case fitting chamber 37 reaches the watertight seal portion 51 by surface tension.

Abstract: A surface mount variable resistor meets the needs of user for front and rear terminals of an insulating substrate. The surface mount variable resistor includes an insulating substrate 1 with a variable resistor pattern 3 and electrode patterns 5 formed thereon, resistor termination terminal fittings 7 connected to the electrode patterns 5, an electrically conductive slider 15 including a sliding contact 15c that slides on the variable resistor pattern 3, and an intermediate terminal 17 that includes a rear intermediate terminal fitting portion 17a and is electrically connected to the electrically conductive slider 15. The intermediate terminal 17 includes an extended conductor portion 17c and the rear intermediate terminal fitting portion 17a integrally formed with the extended conductor portion 17c. A front intermediate terminal fitting portion 17d located between the resistor termination terminal fittings 7 is integrally formed with the extended conductor portion 17c.

Abstract: A connector device for interconnecting circuit substrates is obtained, in which a pitch for electrically conducting paths can easily be aligned with a pitch for electrodes on the side of circuit substrates. The connector includes a rectangular parallelepiped connecting element (9) and a connector housing (11). The rectangular parallelepiped connecting element (9) has a plurality of electrically conducting paths disposed on a rectangular parallelepiped insulating base thereof at an insulating interval and the connector housing (11) is mounted on a first circuit substrate (1) with the rectangular parallelepiped connecting element (9) received therein.

Abstract: A sensor unit is disclosed which is adapted to be used as a detector for a fuel gauge, an oil pressure gauge or the like for a vehicle. A variable resistor serving as a signal converting device is securely fitted at both ends thereof in board fixing grooves formed at a frame fixed on a fixing bracket, so that fixing of the variable resistor may be accomplished without using adhesives. Fixing and electrical connection of a connection conductor are attained by merely fitting the connection conductor in an extension restraining groove without soldering.
