Publication number: 20240111128Abstract: A vehicle display device includes a housing including an opening, an image display device that outputs display light of an image, and a mirror that includes a main body including a reflective surface that reflects the display light toward the opening and is rotatable around a rotation axis. The mirror includes a first and a second ribs that extend along a first direction, and face each other in a second direction. The first rib is formed as a rib closest to a side of the upper end on the back surface, the second rib is formed as a rib closest to a side of the lower end on the back surface, and a central region between the first and the second ribs on the back surface is formed as a flat curved surface, at least a part of which extends from the first rib to the second rib.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Yuki Miyoshi, Yasuhiro Katsumata, Akira Yamanaka, Tetsuya Suganuma, Hiroshi Sano

Publication number: 20080041510Abstract: To provide a pneumatic tire excellent in both traction performance and braking performance on ice and snow road surfaces. A large number of blocks (26) of same-shape partitioned by main grooves and lug grooves are formed on a tread part (16). The tread part (16) comprises a center block row (32) and second block rows (34L) and (34R). Each of the blocks (26) comprises a plurality of sipes (30). Also, Gt=S/(Sa+Sb×0.6), and Gu=S/(Ds×L+Sb×0.6) are calculated for the each block where the area of the outer wall of the block (26) is (Sa) and the overall area of the sipes (30) on the block (26) is (Sb). Also, when the total sum (Gt) which is the total sum of (Gt) in three block rows and the total sum (Gu) which is the total sum of (Gu) in three block rows are calculated, the requirements 0.95?Total Sum Gt?1.05 and 1.30?Total Sum Gu?1.60 are satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2005Publication date: February 21, 2008Applicant: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Akira Suganuma

Patent number: 5017638Abstract: A metallic paint film of this invention comprises a base paint film containing by from 1 to 20 weight % of a novel pigment, which comprises a ceramic scaly substrate, an inorganic compound coating film formed on all the surfaces of ceramic scaly substrate, and a plurality of metal dots formed on the surfaces of inorganic compound coating film and occupying from 0.05 to 95% of the total surface area of the inorganic compound coating film. When an automobile body or the like is painted with the metallic paint film, it gives not only a simple metallic feeling but also a pearly gloss effect. In addition, the metallic paint film improves the three-dimensional effect of the automobile body or the like.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1988Date of Patent: May 21, 1991Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Junichi Handa, Hiroshi Ito, Hiroshi Hattori, Akira Suganuma
