  • Patent number: 8698020
    Abstract: A wiper holder to which a wiper is attached has an attachment surface including a positioning boss configured to position the wiper by being passed through a positioning hole in the wiper, a positioning protrusion configured to position a first edge of the wiper, and a swage boss configured to receive a second edge of the wiper. The first edge of the wiper contacts the positioning protrusion to position the first edge of the wiper and the wiper is secured to the wiper holder by the swage boss being swaged while the positioning boss is passed through the positioning hole in the wiper and the second edge of the wiper being received by the swage boss.

  • Patent number: 8252395
    Abstract: An injection-molded body according to the present invention includes a tubular body portion, an airtight seal surface formed on a peripheral surface of the body portion near one end of the body portion, and a plurality of undercuts disposed at positions around the peripheral surface of the body portion that are closer to the end than the airtight seal surface is. The undercuts prevent a seal member mounted on the airtight seal surface from falling off, in which a clearance is formed between a peripheral wall and the undercuts. The peripheral wall defines an inner hole of the body portion, and the clearance accommodates deformation of the undercuts in radial directions.

  • Patent number: 6622698
    Abstract: A throttle valve control unit that can easily be assembled and has a simple molding die structure, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. There are a container shaped casing, a rotation detection portion provided at the outer surface of the casing, a sensor terminal led from the rotation detection portion, exposed in a connector housing provided at the casing by insert-molding, a motor feeding terminal with an exposed portion provided in parallel with the sensor terminal, having its one end exposed in the connector housing by insert molding, and its other end having an exposed portion extended into the casing, and a separate motor feeding conductor attached in the casing. One end of the motor feeding conductor is connected with the exposed portion and the motor terminal as it is held between a pair of first folded portions provided at the other end of the motor feeding conductor.
