Chie Fukuhara has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7789196
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sound-absorbing material, which has a flow resistivity R of 3.3×104 N·s/m4 or more, a Young's modulus E of 1.2×103 to 2.0×104 N/m2, and a loss factor ? of 0.12 or less. The sound-absorbing material of the present invention can enhance a sound absorption capability in a wide range of a low/intermediate-frequency region to a high-frequency region at a higher level as compared with conventional sound-absorbing materials.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 7, 2010
    Assignee: Mazda Motor Corporation
    Inventors: Chie Fukuhara, Naoko Yorozu, Eiji Murasawa, Tsuyoshi Sugihara

  • Patent number: 7182382
    Abstract: The resin-made floor panel structure including a trunk floor F1 made of resin integrally forming a spare tire storage space S1, and a trunk board B1 made of resin disposed so as to cover the floor panel, fitting parts Sw1, Bk1 for achieving the closure of the spare tire storage space are integrally formed respectively in the trunk floor and trunk board. Thereby, in using resin materials for a floor panel, transmission of noise in the floor section to the compartment side can be suppressed by a relatively simple structure without increasing the weight.

  • Patent number: 6966592
    Abstract: The resin-made floor panel structure including a trunk floor F made of resin, and a trunk board B made of resin disposed so as to cover the trunk floor, a foamed layer having foams exposed at least in part is provided only on the side of the trunk board facing the floor panel. Thereby, in using resin materials for a floor panel, transmission of noise in the floor to the compartment side can be suppressed by a relatively simple structure without increasing the weight.

  • Publication number: 20040262934
    Abstract: Rigidity distribution of trunk floor is uneven, and intervals between high rigidity portions and low rigidity portions are set uneven, and more specifically a plurality of concave commodity storage spaces are integrally formed in the trunk floor, and dimensions of the these storage spaces and/or walls formed among storage spaces are set differently from each other, so that the rigidity of the trunk floor is set uneven. Thereby, in using resin materials for a floor panel, vibrations in the floor can be suppressed by a relatively simple structure without increasing the weight.
