Patent number: 8120479Abstract: A vehicular display device that includes a transmissive first liquid crystal display unit having a plurality of display elements; a transmissive second liquid crystal display unit superposed on the first liquid crystal display unit and having a plurality of display elements; and a controller for controlling the display elements of the first second liquid crystal display units, so as to display information required by a driver of the vehicle. The information displayed by the display elements includes at least first information indicative of a status of the vehicle, second information for confirming an operating setting of a vehicle-mounted device on the vehicle, and third information for indication to the driver. The controller controls the display elements to selectively display the information by selectively energizing and de-energizing the display elements, and further controls the display elements to simultaneously display the information in a non-overlapping manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2011Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., LtdInventors: Kenichi Arie, Kazuhiro Hasunuma, Naoki Wada, Masahide Kobayashi, Hidetoshi Kabayama, Makoto Koike

Publication number: 20110163867Abstract: A first meter cluster panel and a second meter cluster panel are disposed on an instrument panel of a vehicle such that the first meter cluster panel and the second meter cluster panel have respective centers of display disposed substantially coaxially with each other. The first meter cluster panel is disposed near a boundary line at a position deeper than that of the second meter cluster panel as viewed by a driver who is directing his or her line of sight from an eye range in the forward direction of the vehicle. The first meter cluster panel displays information that is visually recognized outside of a steering wheel. The second meter cluster panel displays information that is visually recognized inside the steering wheel when the driver directs his or her line of sight from the eye range in the forward direction of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2011Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenichi ARIE, Kazuhiro Hasunuma, Naoki Wada, Masahide Kobayashi, Hidetoshi Kabayama, Makoto Koike

Patent number: 7036865Abstract: In an automobile instrument panel structure, an upper meter provided in an upper front part of an instrument panel main body is disposed so as to correspond to an upper side of an upper half of a steering wheel, and a lower meter provided in a lower rear part of the instrument panel main body is disposed so as to correspond to a lower side of the upper half of the steering wheel. It is thus possible to reliably view the upper meter and the lower meter without being obstructed by the steering wheel. Further, since an upper edge of a panel in which the upper meter is disposed has a shape substantially conforming to the upper half of the steering wheel, there is no disagreeable sensation even when the upper meter, which has conventionally been disposed in a laterally central part of the instrument panel main body, is disposed in front of the driver.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2005Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tadashi Sato, Tetsuji Fukushima, Hidetoshi Kabayama, Naoya Chinzai

Patent number: 6879241Abstract: A vehicle ready for a card key and a radio communication system for a vehicle which utilizes a card key wherein transmission and reception functions are incorporated in a card key to be loaded onto a vehicle, thereby allowing communication between vehicles. A card key loaded on a two-wheeled vehicle communicates with a first card key loaded in a first card key receiving slot of a four-wheeled vehicle. Further, a microphone, a speaker and a transmitter-receiver are provided on a helmet for a driver, and the card key communicates also with the transmitter-receiver on the helmet. Similarly, a card key loaded on a second two-wheeled vehicle communicates with a second card key loaded in second card key receiving slot of the four-wheeled vehicle and the transmitter-receiver of the helmet worn by the driver of the second two-wheeled vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2002Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomokazu Sakamoto, Kenji Tamaki, Yoshiyuki Horii, Satoshi Kazama, Hidetoshi Kabayama, Dai Higashida

Patent number: 6851500Abstract: A method of loading a two-wheeled vehicle onto a vehicle, e.g., within a trunk space of the accommodating vehicle. The required trunk space can be minimized without relying upon folding of the two-wheeled vehicle. A seat post of the two-wheeled vehicle loaded onto and rearward of a rearmost seat of a four-wheeled vehicle is pulled up forward around a predetermined shaft of pivotal motion. A seat of the two-wheeled vehicle functions integrally as a backrest of a rear seat of the four-wheeled vehicle and a seat back of the two-wheeled vehicle integrally functions as a headrest of the seat of the four-wheeled vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2002Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshiyuki Horii, Yukinori Kurakawa, Satoshi Kazama, Hidetoshi Kabayama, Dai Higashida, Tomohiro Komori, Shoji Yamamoto
