Publication number: 20140312632Abstract: In a vehicle door latch device, a first outside lever is pivotally mounted via a pivot shaft, and second outside lever is connected to an outside handle on an outer panel of a door via a motion-transmitting member to move toward the inside of a vehicle. Usually, turning of the second outside lever for disengaging a latch from a striker is transmitted to the first outside lever. If the second outside lever is impacted by an external force, the outer panel is deformed to move the second outside lever inward of the vehicle with respect to the first outside lever. But release turning of the second outside lever cannot be transmitted to the first outside lever. Even if the door is deformed by the external force, the door is still closed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: MITSUI KINZOKU ACT CORPORATIONInventors: Tomoharu NAGAOKA, Hideaki NOZAWA

Patent number: 7591493Abstract: A door opening/closing device includes a door operating lever that releases a closed-door latch unit when being turned to a first direction and releases an open-door latch unit when being turned to a second direction is arranged on a base plate by means of an inside-handle lever shaft. Also, an operation output unit is formed on an inside handle so as to engage with the door operating lever. When the inside handle is operated to open or close the door, the door operating lever is turned in a desired direction by bringing the operation output unit into contact with the door operating lever. Furthermore, a lower open lever that transmits the turning operation to the second direction of the door operating lever to the open-door latch unit is arranged on the base plate by means of the inside-handle lever shaft.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2007Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hideaki Nozawa

Patent number: 7556577Abstract: A reel drum is rotatably supported on a board, and a tensioner case is detachably mounted to the board in the vicinity of the reel drum. Wires are extended from the reel drum in directions opposite to each other. A pair of tension rollers pressed onto the respective wires and roller holders rotatably supporting the respective tension rollers are attached to the tensioner case to be allowed to move in directions substantially orthogonal to the respective wires when the wires are tensioned. Moreover, the tensioner case is provided with biasing means to bias the roller holders in directions that the tension rollers are pressed onto the respective wires. The biasing means is a torsion spring. A contact portion of each roller holder which a wire end extended portion of the torsion spring is in contact with has an angle shape with a ridge aligned in a direction orthogonal to the wire end extended portion of the torsion spring.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2005Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: OHI Seisakusho Co. Ltd.Inventors: Shinichiro Kita, Toku Fukaya, Hideaki Nozawa, Atsushi Osada

Patent number: 7434854Abstract: In a vehicle door lock control, an operating handle is provided at a door inside or outside a vehicle to enable a door to open and close. The handle is connected to an operating lever. In a locked position, the door cannot be opened by the operating handle, while it can be opened by the operating handle via a release lever in an unlocking position. The release lever pivotally secured on a base plate is connected to a door latch device of the door to allow the door latch device to disengage from a striker of a vehicle body in the unlocking position thereby opening the door by the operating handle. A lock control pin is moved by a knob lever to control the release lever to allow the door to open. The knob lever is operated by a knob manually inside the vehicle or by an actuator electrically.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2007Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd.Inventors: Nobuyoshi Fujimatsu, Mitsuhiro Watanabe, Hideaki Nozawa
