  • Patent number: 9296143
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a process capable of manufacturing various types of curved members having a high-grade design surface which are used as glazing members for means of transport such as automobiles at a low cost. The present invention is the process of manufacturing a curved member having a high-grade design surface, comprises the steps of: (1) preparing a sheet having a high-grade design surface by injection compression molding a resin material containing a thermoplastic resin; (2) preheating the sheet at a temperature of (Tg+5)° C. to (Tg+70)° C. (Tg(° C.) is the glass transition temperature of the resin material) to soften it; and (3) applying pressure to the softened sheet to curve the high-grade design surface.

  • Patent number: 7895710
    Abstract: A movable member (not shown) non-turnably connected to a second hinge member is arranged on the turning axial line of first and second hinge members such that the movable member is turnable and movable in the direction of the turning axial line. The movable member is biased toward the first hinge member by a coiled spring (not shown). A confronting surface of the first hinge member with respect to the movable member is provided with a pair of raised wall surfaces 11d, 11d extending in the direction of the turning axial line and end face cams 41 arranged between the pair of raised wall parts 11d, 11d, respectively. A confronting surface of the movable member with respect to the first hinge member is provided with a pair of abutment arm parts 42a for converting the biasing force of the coiled spring to a turn biasing force for turning the movable member by being press-contacted with the end face cam 41. A recess 11e is formed in a lower part of the raised wall surface 11d.

  • Publication number: 20060196009
    Abstract: A movable member is arranged on a turning axial line of first and second hinge members such that the movable member is turnable and movable in the direction of the turning axial line. A confronting surface of the first hinge member with respect to the movable member is provided with an end face cam extending in a peripheral direction about the turning axial line. An abutment arm part of the movable member is press-contacted against the end face cam by a biasing force of a coiled spring. Thereby, the biasing force of the coiled spring is converted to a turn biasing force for turning the movable member. The second hinge member is turned via the movable member by the turn biasing force. A terminal end part of the end face cam is provided with a gentle inclination surface.
