Patent number: 9879877Abstract: An air conditioning register is provided that includes a case, a downstream fin, a specific upstream fin extending in a direction perpendicular to the downstream fin, and an operation knob. The specific upstream fin includes a fin main body pivotally supported by the case via an upstream fin shaft and a transmission body pivotally supported by the case via a pivot located further upstream than the upstream fin shaft. The fin main body and the transmission body are coupled to each other. The operation knob is mounted slidably on the downstream fin and includes a pair of fork portions sandwiching a transmission shaft portion of the transmission body therebetween. When the operation knob is operated to slide and thereby the transmission shaft portion is moved, the fin main body of the specific upstream fin is tilted.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2013Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Hajime Takai, Mitsuo Ogura, Minoru Shibata, Kenji Asano

Patent number: 9539882Abstract: An air conditioning register includes a downstream fin, primary upstream fins, a secondary upstream fin, and an operation knob slidably attached onto the downstream fin. The operation knob sandwiches a shaft of the secondary upstream fin. The air conditioning register has a link mechanism that includes arms and a coupling rod. The arms extend from pivots of the primary and secondary upstream fins in a direction orthogonal to the pivots, and have a pin at the tip of the arms. The coupling rod couples the respective pins. The distance between the pivot and the pin in the arm of the secondary upstream fin is longer than the distance between the pivot and the pin in the arm of each primary upstream fin. The coupling rod includes coupling portions, each of which couples the pins of an adjacent pair of the arms. Adjacent coupling portions are pivotally coupled.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Hajime Takai, Mitsuo Ogura, Minoru Shibata, Kenji Asano

Patent number: 8661622Abstract: An assist grip includes hinges, spring cases, and coil springs. The hinges are provided with a rotary axis that a shaft-shaped protrusion and a pin make. The shaft-shaped protrusion is formed integrally with the hinges. The pin is formed independently of the hinges. The spring cases are held in a depression with which the hinges are provided, respectively. The coil springs urge the hinges by way of the spring cases in a direction for accommodating the hinges into hinge-holding depressions with which the assist grip is provided. The setup enables the resulting assist grip to offer better assemblage workability for assembly workers or robots, to show a better appearance, and to exhibit higher strength in service.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignees: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hajime Takai, Chiharu Totani, Kazuhiro Kawamura, Shoji Kawakami

Publication number: 20130029582Abstract: An air conditioner register for adjusting the direction of air is provided. The register includes a retainer, which defines an air duct therein, and a barrel, which is pivotally supported in the retainer. The retainer includes a rectangular air outlet of the duct. The barrel includes two or more long fins extending in the direction of long sides of the outlet. The long fins that are located closest to the long sides of the outlet, among the long fins located in the outlet when the barrel is in a neutral state, form a pair of main long fins. Walls of the retainer including the long sides of the outlet include bulging portions. When the barrel is tilted to a maximum tilt position of its movable range, one of the bulging portions is located close to the downstream end of the main long fin that leads in the tilt motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Hajime Takai, Minoru Shibata
