Abstract: A vehicle front part structure includes: a spats having a mounting portion attached to an under wall that constitutes an under floor in front of a front wheel, and a main body portion extending from the mounting portion toward an underside of a vehicle to restrain a traveling wind under the under wall from hitting the front wheel; and a recess portion formed at the vehicular rearward portion on, the under wall and opening to a downward direction of the vehicle and to a rearward direction of the vehicle. A mounting wall is disposed above a front end portion of the under wall to attach the mounting portion to it. An inclined wall is disposed to ascend linearly toward an upper part of the vehicle and connects the mounting wall and the front end portion of the under wall.

Abstract: A vehicle lower structure includes a plurality of spat body portions and a guide portion. The spat body portions are provided side by side in a vehicle longitudinal direction on a vehicle front side of a wheel, are protruded from an underfloor of the vehicle toward a vehicle lower side, and extend in a vehicle width direction. The guide portion constitutes vehicle-width-direction outer regions of the spat body portions in at least one of second and subsequent rows from a vehicle rear side, is inclined toward the vehicle rear side and outward in the vehicle width direction to guide a traveling wind, and has a vehicle-width-direction outer end that is arranged more outward in the vehicle width direction than a vehicle-width-direction outer end of the spat body portion that is adjacent to the vehicle rear side.

Abstract: A vehicle interior-exterior structure of the present invention is equipped with a main body formed from a resin foam material, a covering formed from a resilient material to cover the main body, and a void formed between the main body and the covering. The vehicle interior-exterior structure is also equipped with a front bumper cover supported by a vehicle body and a pressure sensor that outputs a signal corresponding to the internal pressure of the void. A reaction force is obtained from the main body when a colliding body collides with the location where the void is positioned in the front bumper and the void undergoes compression deformation. The degrees of freedom for the placement position of the void, namely for the placement position of an impact detection region, can accordingly be raised.

Abstract: A reflecting base material that can reliably prevent the occurrence of uneven brightness, a backlight unit that uses the same, and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. Surface profile information of the reflecting base material 7 is obtained by a laser displacement gauge 3. Next, the unevenness information obtained is subjected to Fourier transform, and the relationship between frequency and intensity for the surface unevenness profile of the reflecting base material is obtained. Next, the calculated relationship between the frequency and intensity is compared with a preset standard data. When the intensity exceeds 0.6 at a predetermined range of frequency domain, a judgment of rejection is made; when no data exceeding 0.6 exists in said judgment domain, a judgment of acceptance is made.

Abstract: A vehicle-purpose lighting tool is featured by comprising: a light-conducting member having a front light-emitting plane, a rear plane having a concave/convex shape, and a side edge plane; and a light source arranged at a position opposite to the side edge plane; in which within external light which is entered via the front light-emitting plane into the light-conducting member, a portion of the external light which is directly traveled to the side edge plane is totally reflected on a boundary plane of the side edge plane portion; a plurality of reflecting portions are formed on the rear plane and are coupled to each other via a coupling portion in such a direction that the reflecting portions are separated apart from the side edge plane side; and distances between the plurality of reflecting portions and the front light-emitting plane are changed in a discontinuous manner along the separating direction.

Abstract: A stacked laminator comprising multiple vertically stacked laminating units provides a more compact laminator and improves the efficiency with which workpieces are produced. The plurality of vertically stacked laminating units 10, with each including an upper chamber 13a and a lower chamber 11a upon which the upper chamber is set, a heating plate 11b provided to the lower chamber 11a upon which the workpiece is set, and a pressing member 13b provided in the upper chamber 13a. The workpiece is set on the heating plate 11b, pressed between the heating plate 11b and the pressing member 13b, and laminated. The laminator further comprises opening and closing devices for opening and closing each of the laminating units one after another in succession. Each laminating unit can perform laminating independently of the other laminating units.
