  • Patent number: 11125258
    Abstract: A connector includes a first connector body with an attachment hole and a second connector body provided with a shaft portion. A keyway is formed in a sidewall of the shaft portion. Moreover, the first connector body includes a pivoting member pivoting by being pressed by the shaft portion rotating inside the attachment hole and an elastic member for returning the pivoting member that has pivoted to an original position. The pivoting member is provided with an engaging portion engaging with the keyway.

  • Publication number: 20180096538
    Abstract: After an air-bag inspection device (10) is set to a steering wheel (12), a lock release lever (48) is operated to move a lock plate (44) from a lock position to a lock release position, thereby releasing lock of a rotating plate (43). A coil spring (38) is urged to allow a left and a right clamp shafts (33) (34) to press an inner peripheral surface of the steering wheel (12). This pressing force allows the air-bag inspection device (10) to be attached to the steering wheel (12). When the start button (51) is pressed, a left sensor (14) and a right sensor (15) measure a distance to the air-bag (11). When measurement data falls within a preliminarily set predetermined range, a control device (16) determines that the air-bag (11) is properly attached to the steering wheel (12) and turns on an OK lamp (53).

  • Patent number: 8712678
    Abstract: Provided is a work measuring method by which a deviation quantity of a work measuring point from a reference position can be measured in a short time. A work surface is set as a reference point when the measuring point is positioned at the reference position, and a distance from a photographing device to a reference surface is set as a reference distance. A deviation quantity of the measurement point in a direction intersecting a photographing direction on the reference surface is measured by the photographing device, and a deviation quantity of the measuring point in the photographing direction is measured by a laser distance sensor. Then, based on the deviation quantity measured by the photographing device, the deviation quantity measured by the laser distance sensor, and the reference distance, a deviation quantity of the measuring point in a direction intersecting the photographing direction is calculated.

  • Patent number: 7818863
    Abstract: A window glass can be accurately and preferably mounted by correcting a displacement of a curved surface shape of the window glass in the crosswise direction even when there is a displacement of the curved surface shape of the window glass in the crosswise direction. A slit laser beam is irradiated with from slit laser beam irradiators 12c and 12d across the right and left ends of the window glass 6, the circumference of a window glass mounting opening 8, and a windshield pillar section 11; rotation adjustment of the window glass 6 is performed, based on a processed image obtained by image processing of images, which have been photographed with a CCD cameras 10c and 10d, of the slit laser beams, in such a way that clearances in the pressing direction at the right and left ends of the window glass 6 are the same as each other; and the window glass 6 is pressed onto a window glass mounting surface on the circumference of the window glass mounting opening 8 for mounting onto the surface.
