  • Publication number: 20220307294
    Abstract: A cable module includes a retaining member and a cable member. The retaining member includes a base portion, a guide portion, and an attaching portion. The cable member placed on the base portion includes a grip portion and a cable. The guide portion configured to guide the cable is provided on a surface of the base portion. The attaching portion protrudes from the base portion. The retaining member is configured to retain the cable member in a first position and a second position. The length of an intermediate portion of the cable located between the guide portion and the grip portion when the cable member is in the second position is longer than that when the cable member is in the first position. When the cable member is in the second position, the grip portion is attached onto the attaching portion in a condition where the intermediate portion is bent.

  • Patent number: 11434680
    Abstract: A stabilizer comprises housing, a lever, and a plate spring. The lever has a shaft, a main body extending radially from the shaft, an elongated portion extending at an angle from the main body, and a cam portion extending from the shaft in a substantially opposite direction to the main body. A tip of the elongated portion extends outward through an opening in the housing. The plate spring has a plane portion fixed to the housing, and a curved portion pushed by the lever cam portion. When the stabilizer is attached to a fixed member (case). The lever tip portion extends from the opening of the housing and abuts to the surface of a slide member (holder). The lever tip exerts a constant load to the surface of the slide member, even if the distance between the fixed member and the slide member changes.

  • Publication number: 20220074241
    Abstract: A cable module configured to be connected to a manual release unit of an electronic lock device includes a holding member and a cable member configured to be held by the holding member. The cable member includes a grip portion and a cable configured to be connected to the grip portion. The cable member is held by the holding member in each of a first position and a second position such that a tip portion of the cable, the tip portion being located on an opposite side of the grip portion, is located outside the holding member. A length of a first portion of the cable in the first position is longer than a length of a second portion of the cable in the second position, the first portion and the second portion extending outward from the holding member.

  • Patent number: 10774864
    Abstract: A clip comprises a member mounting portion for attaching a mounting member; an umbrella shaped flange; a flat plate-like shaft extending downward from the center of the umbrella flange; a pair of arms extending obliquely downward and outward from the umbrella center; a pair of legs extending from the upper outer side to the lower inner side; and a pair of locking portions near the upper end of each leg and having a distance between the outer surfaces smaller than the distance between the outer surfaces of the upper ends of the legs. The distal end of each arm is connected to the middle of a leg. A leg connector connects the lower ends of the legs to each other. As the clip is pushed into the mounting hole, the upper portions of the legs move inward and the lower portions of the legs move outward.

  • Patent number: 9279518
    Abstract: An anti-vibration clamp for holding pipes includes a pipe holding component which further includes pipe holders for locking the pipes; a clamp body including a stud locking portion for locking to a stud, and a floating attachment portion for holding the pipe holding component; and an elastic connecting component made of soft resin placed between the pipe holding component and the clamp body so that the pipe holding component and the clamp body do not contact one another directly. The pipe holding component, the elastic connecting component and the clamp body are held so that it is difficult for them to each slip mutually.

  • Patent number: 9273804
    Abstract: A vibration-proof clamp includes a clamp body made of hard resin having a holding part and a stud engaging part, and a rubber member that covers the holding part. The holding part has a curved wall for holding an elongated element from below and at least one elastic holding member that extends slanting downward towards a holding space. The rubber member has a rubber curved part that covers the curved wall of the clamp body, and a rubber holding member that covers the elastic holding member. When the elongated element is attached, the elastic holding member can bend inside a holding member space. The rubber member has a rubber curved extension part that curves upward along the outside of the elongated element, and connects with the rubber curved part. This arrangement prevents the elongated element from being in direct contact with the clamp body.

  • Patent number: 8328231
    Abstract: A side airbag device for a vehicle seat comprises an inner connection member having a clip hole in an inner end portion thereof, an outer connection member having a clip hole in an inner end portion thereof, and a clip inserted in the respective clip holes of the inner and outer connection members and a clip-locking hole of a seat frame. The clip is inserted in the clip holes of the inner and outer connection members under a condition that the inner end portion of the inner connection member and the inner end portion of the outer connection member are overlapped on each other to allow the clip hole of the inner connection member and the clip hole of the outer connection member to be aligned with each other. The clip is locked to the clip-locking hole.
