Patent number: 9121213Abstract: A switching mechanism includes a main body, a rotational body, a swinging member, and a biasing member. The swinging member detaches from the shaft portion against a biasing force of the biasing member by a centrifugal force generated at the swinging member in response to rotation of the rotational body rotating in conjunction with movement of the rotational member, for example, a vehicle door, to switch the state of the switching mechanism to an operation allowed state in a state where the rotational member is operated to rotationally move. The biasing force of the biasing member pushes the swinging member to make contact with the shaft portion and engages with the shaft portion by friction to retain the rotational body in a stopped state to switch the state of the switching mechanism to a movement restrained state in a state where the rotational member is stopped from making rotational movement.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Toshiyuki Sakai

Publication number: 20150244309Abstract: A solar panel unit (10) includes a control unit (73) which operates an actuator (41) such that an angle of a solar panel (20) coincides with a predetermined command angle. The control unit (73) performs reset control for resetting the angle of the solar panel (20) misaligned due to strong wind. In the reset control, the actuator (41) is not operated until a predetermined time has passed since the angle of the solar panel (20) was misaligned to wait for the strong wind to stop, and then the actuator (41) is operated to reset the angle of the solar panel (20).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2013Publication date: August 27, 2015Applicant: DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Toshiyuki Sakai, Tetsuya Matsuura, Yoshitaka Yasui
