Abstract: A method of manufacturing a radome, which is provided on a detection side of a radar for detecting an obstacle in a vicinity of a vehicle, includes a first forming step of forming a transparent member that includes a recess on one surface thereof; an first installing step of installing a bright member, which has a shape corresponding to a space in the recess and of which a contact surface coming into contact with an inner surface of the recess has brilliance, in the recess; and a second installing step of installing a base member that covers the one surface and integrally holds the transparent member and the bright member.

Abstract: A vehicular traction apparatus is manufactured which includes a connecting member having a female thread portion mountable to a vehicular side and a traction hook. At one end of the traction hook is a male thread portion screwable into the female thread portion and at the other end thereof is a hook portion to which a traction member is mountable. An original position and/or a terminal portion of the male thread portion of the traction hook is arranged in a predetermined position relative to the hook portion. After the male portion is clamped to the connecting member, position of the hook member is settable in a predetermined, allowable angle position.

Abstract: A sill cover includes an elongated sill cover main body, a plurality of hinges, a plurality of attachments and a linking portion. The plurality of hinges is foldably provided along a longitudinal direction of the sill cover main body. The plurality of attachments is connected to the plurality of hinges and shifts to a vehicle mounting position according to folding of the plurality of hinges. The linking portion links three attachments among the plurality of attachments to one another.

Abstract: A vehicle headlamp includes a transparent cover, a lamp body, and a illumination optical system which is accommodated in the lamp body and projects light to a predetermined illumination region in front of a vehicle via the transparent cover, wherein the illumination optical system includes a semiconductor light-emitting element in which an optical axis is configured to be directed toward the transparent cover, and a light beam guide tube which is provided between the semiconductor light-emitting element and the transparent cover and defines the illumination region by surrounding the optical axis.

Abstract: A vehicle windowpane holder for connecting a vehicle windowpane to a window regulator mechanism, including: a leg section to be connected to the window regulator mechanism; a glass holding section including opposed surface portions extending from the leg section and a bottom surface portion, each of the opposed surface portions having a width in a longitudinal direction thereof that gradually increases as the surface portions extend away from the leg section, and the opposed surface portions and the bottom surface portion defining a windowpane receiving groove; and weir portions at both side edges of the opposed surface portions so as to close both ends of the windowpane receiving groove, each of the weir portions extending obliquely relative to a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface portion and are removed upon insertion of the windowpane into the windowpane receiving groove.

Abstract: A lighting device for a vehicle includes a headlamp; a door lamp that illuminates the ground, an inner sill lamp that illuminates a cabin floor, a user position detector that detects whether a user is close to the vehicle or distant from the vehicle, a door open/close detector, and a controller. The controller turns on the headlamp when the user position detector detects a user's approach to the vehicle, turns on the door lamp when opening of the door is detected by the door open/close detector, and then turns on the inner sill lamp. According to the lighting device, the user can smoothly get in or off the vehicle at night.

Abstract: A lighting device for a vehicle includes inner sill lamps that illuminate a floor in a cabin. Each of the inner sill lamps is provided on each side surface of inner sill covers. The side surfaces faces to the cabin. The lighting device can sufficiently illuminate the floor without illuminance reduction due to an object such as an instrument panel or a seat disposed between the inner sill lamps and the floor. In addition, the lighting device can surely illuminate the floor around a user's feet when the user gets in or off the vehicle.

Abstract: A sill cover includes an elongated sill cover main body, a step portion, hinges and attachments. The sill cover main body includes a bottom surface portion formed in a curved surface shape along a longitudinal direction of the sill cover main body. The step portion is provided to the bottom surface portion along a longitudinal direction of the bottom surface portion. The hinges are foldably provided to hinge support ends of the step portion. The attachments are connected to the hinges and shift to vehicle mounting positions according to folding of the hinges. A height of the step portion is variable along a longitudinal direction of the step portion, so that the hinge support ends are linearly arranged along the longitudinal direction of the hinge support ends.

Abstract: A vehicle windowpane holder (1) includes a glass holding section (7) extending from a leg portion (2), in which a windowpane receiving groove (6) is defined by gradually broadening opposed surface portions (3, 4) and a bottom surface portion (5). Weir portions (21) are formed at both side edges of the opposed surface portions-(3, 4) so as to close both ends of the windowpane receiving groove (6). The weir portions (21) are gradually inclined outwards and removed, upon insertion of the windowpane. When the windowpane holder (1) is to be assembled to the windowpane (14), an adhesive agent (24) is injected into the windowpane receiving groove (6), and the windowpane (14) is inserted into the windowpane receiving groove (6) from its opening side. By this, the weir portions (21) are caused to be gradually inclined outwards and removed, and the windowpane holder (1) and the windowpane (14) are adhered to each other by the adhesive agent, to produce a vehicle window assembly (15).
