Abstract: A hose clamp includes a clamp main body including a ring portion and a pair of knob portions; and a holder. The holder includes a main body portion, a pair of holding walls, and an operation portion. An inner surface on a distal end side of one holding wall includes a protrusion that protrudes more largely inward than an inner surface on a distal end side of other holding wall. And in a state where the pair of knob portions are close to each other, a distal end of one knob portion in a peripheral direction is engaged with the inner surface of the one holding wall, and the other knob portion is engaged with the inner surface of the other holding wall, so that the ring portion is kept in a diameter-increased state.

Abstract: An electric locking device for an operable/closable member attached to an opening portion, includes a biasing member which biases a pair of rods in a direction in which the rods are brought into engagement with a pair of locking portions, an actuator for sliding the rods to disengage from the locking portions, the actuator having a case having an opening portion, a motor disposed within the case, a worm rotated by the motor and a worm wheel supported rotatably on the case and interlocked with the worm for rotation. The worm wheel has a rotating portion projecting outwards of the case from the opening portion, and proximal end portions of the rods are assembled individually to the rotating portion so as to move in an associated fashion, causing the rods to slide in a synchronized fashion in opposite directions to each other.

Abstract: A lock device includes a base member fixed on an opening/closing member, an operation member rotatably supported on the base member, and a rod configured to move forward and backward to be engaged with and disengaged from a locked portion of the fixed member in response to operation of the operation member, The operation member includes a pivot portion and a transmission portion. The base member includes a first attachment portion and a second attachment portion. When the transmission portion presses an inclined surface of the rod and thus causes the rod to move backward, the first attachment portion abuts against the rod, thereby limiting movement of the rod in the direction intersecting with the forward and backward movement direction of the rod.

Abstract: A lock device for holding an openable and closable member in a closed state. The lock device includes a base member, an operation member, a rod, and a cylinder lock. The cylinder lock has a protruding portion biased to protrude radially outwards to be engaged with an engaging portion formed on a rear side of a cylinder accommodating portion. The rod has a distal end portion configured to move out of a through hole formed in the openable and closable member to be engaged with a locking portion on a fixed member over a predetermined length with the openable and closable member left in a locked state, and a pushing portion enables a release of an engagement with the engaging portion when the rod moves in a receding direction to abut with the protruding portion, causing the protruding portion to recede against a biasing force.

Abstract: A stopper device includes: a stopper that has an abutting part located at a distal end of a tubular part in the axial direction, and a through-hole penetrating through the abutting part and communicating with the inside of the tubular part; and a screw that has a flange-shaped screw head accommodated in the tubular part, and a shaft projecting toward a proximal end side of the tubular part in the axial direction. The tubular part has a first restricting part that restricts movement of the stopper toward the distal end in the axial direction by being engaged with the screw head. The position of the stopper in the axial direction is changed by inserting a tool in the tubular part through the through-hole and rotating the screw.

Abstract: A lock device includes lock portions, a pair of rods, a base member, a rotary member, and a manipulation member. The rotary member has a rod link portion coupled with the rods and transmit rotational power of the rotary member to the rods and a guide wall located inside the rod link portion in the rotary member and guides the rods. The guide wall includes arc walls or a cylindrical wall whose axis coincides with the rotation center of the rotary member. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to a bottom surface of the base member, the erection wall and the guide wall are opposed to each other with a gap. Coming-off-preventive structures for preventing the rod from coming off when the rod is inserted in the gap and coupled with the rod link portion is provided between the rod and the erection wall.

Abstract: A damper device provided between a fixed body having an opening portion and an openable and closable body mounted on the opening portion and configured to apply a braking force to the openable and closable body.
