Publication number: 20240075824Abstract: A charge port device includes a charge port provided in a port accommodation recess and a lid for concealing the port accommodation recess. A latch is provided in the port accommodation recess on an opposite side to a lid hinge with respect to the charge port. A slit is formed between a surface of a vehicle body and an outer circumferential edge of the lid while the lid is closed. A lamp is provided at a position in the port accommodation recess between the latch and the slit on an opposite side to the lid hinge with respect to the charge port and the position is not visible from outside while the lid is closed. Formed is a light-guiding reflection path that guides a light emitted from the lamp toward the above-mentioned slit as an indirect light by reflecting the light while the lid is closed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2019Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akiyoshi Shibata, Daisuke Ichiwara, Atsushi Takaki, Toshihiro Inoue, Ryohei Miyoshi

Publication number: 20210276458Abstract: A controller, which serves as a pressure-feeding control portion, drives an air pump to pressure-feed air to massage airbags located in a seat. In addition, the controller, which serves as an inflation-deflation control portion, performs massage control that inflates and deflates the airbags while keeping the air pump driven by controlling the operation of intake-discharge valves in second flow passage (branch lines), which connects the air pump to the airbags. Furthermore, the controller, which serves as a decompression control portion, opens a discharge valve, which is located upstream of the intake-discharge valves, in a state in which the airbags are deflated during the massage control.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2017Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicants: Aisin Seiki Kabushiki Kaisha, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuki FUJII, Akiyoshi SHIBATA, Hiroyuki ODA, Shunsuke HAYAKAWA, Shunsuke TANAKA, Shinichiro KOMAKI, Kenji HASHIMOTO

Publication number: 20190152372Abstract: A pneumatic control device for a vehicle seat includes a forcible-delivery control unit, an opening-closing control unit, and a residual pressure release control unit. The forcible-delivery control unit drives an air pump to forcibly deliver air to an airbag, which is provided in a seat. The opening-closing control unit opens and closes an inlet valve, which is provided in a passage of the air. The passage is in communication with the airbag. The residual pressure release control unit opens an outlet valve provided in the passage on an upstream side of the inlet valve after driving of the air pump is stopped, thereby releasing the air sealed on the upstream side of the inlet valve in a closed state from the passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2017Publication date: May 23, 2019Applicant: AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuki FUJII, Akiyoshi SHIBATA, Hiroyuki ODA, Shunsuke HAYAKAWA
