  • Patent number: 11796050
    Abstract: In a shift device, a shift position of a knob is altered as a result of the knob being displaced in a vertical direction, and also being rotated in one direction or in another direction. Here, the knob is disposed on an outer side in a radial direction of a supporting column. Because of this, the knob can be inhibited by the supporting column from being unnecessarily displaced downwards.

  • Patent number: 11787363
    Abstract: In a vehicle emergency, a spool of a webbing take-up device is rotated in a pull-out direction such that a main lock is displaced toward a rotation-radial direction outside of the spool and engages with a clutch gear configuring a first rotation body. Rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction is thus restricted. Also in a vehicle emergency, the first rotation body is rotated in a take-up direction of the spool such that the main lock engages with the first rotation body, and rotation force of the first rotation body is transmitted to the spool through the main lock and the spool is rotated in the take-up direction.

  • Patent number: 11746891
    Abstract: In a shift lever device, a lock bar is disposed in a restricting position to restrict changing of a shift position of a lever. A motor is driven to rotate a cam in order to move the lock bar to a non-restricting position, thereby permitting changing of the shift position of the lever. The lock bar is moved as the rotation position of the cam is changed. This enables the precision required of the rotation position of the cam in order to dispose the lock bar in the restricting position and the non-restricting position to be lowered, thereby enabling appropriate switching between restriction and permission of changes in shift position of the lever to be performed by driving of the motor.

  • Patent number: 11746889
    Abstract: In a shift device, a shift position of a knob is altered as a result of a knob being rotated. Furthermore, a Hall IC on a wiring substrate detects a rotation position of a magnet in the knob, thereby enabling the shift position of the knob to be detected. Here, the Hall IC is placed on an outer side in a rotation radial direction of the magnet. Because of this, it is possible to enlarge the change in the relative position between the magnet and the Hall IC that is generated by the rotation of the magnet, thereby enabling the detection accuracy when detecting the shift position of the knob to be improved.

  • Patent number: 11739837
    Abstract: In a shift device, as a result of lower sliding projections of a lever moving slidingly against lower sliding plates of soft materials, the slidability of the lever is improved. Moreover, as a result of restricting projections of the lever being abutted against stoppers of the soft materials, noise generated when a sliding motion of the lever is restricted is reduced. Additionally, because the lower sliding plates and the stoppers are formed integrally with each other, the structure can be simplified.
