Patent number: 9034502Abstract: A battery tray is fixed onto a front battery cross member lower and a rear battery cross member lower. The battery pack is mounted on the battery tray. The front battery cross member lower and the rear battery cross member lower come into contact with a deformable zone of the battery tray and the end face of each of battery cross member uppers at attachment portions. Space is created between the battery pack and the battery cross member uppers. The battery cross member uppers are welded so that a deformable zone having relatively low rigidity is formed. In this way, the front battery cross member lower and the rear battery cross member lower are fixed to a pair of side members through the battery cross member uppers.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignees: MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA ENGINEERING KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hiroaki Kano, Takao Yoshikawa, Takashi Nogami, Katsuhiro Suzuki, Tomoya Nishita, Ken Muguruma, Seiichi Takasaki, Hideki Honio, Ko Asai, Takanori Yamamoto

Publication number: 20110281447Abstract: A power feeding plug for use with a power receiving connector includes a hook that engages the power receiving connector. A manual operation portion is operated to disengage the hook from the power receiving connector. A locking device selectively prohibits operation of the manual operation portion. The locking device includes a key cylinder operated by an authentic mechanical key. A lock mechanism moves in cooperation with the key cylinder. When the authentic mechanical key operates the key cylinder, the lock mechanism is moved between a lock position, to prohibit removal of the power feeding plug from the power receiving connector, and an unlock position, to permit removal of the power feeding plug from the power receiving connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2011Publication date: November 17, 2011Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI RIKA DENKI SEISAKUSHOInventors: Hiroaki Kano, Shinji Ichikawa

Patent number: 7677643Abstract: A body framework construction, includes: a rear seat cross member, extending in a transverse direction of a vehicle, in a rear part of a body in a lower part of a passenger compartment; a dash cross member upper, extending in the transverse direction, in a front part of the passenger compartment; and a backbone, configured into a thin, long shape having a closed cross section, and extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A front end portion of the backbone is connected to the dash cross member upper via a gusset, and a rear end portion of the backbone is joined to the rear seat cross member. The gusset is deformed more easily than the backbone relative to a force from a front.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2008Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignees: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Mitsubishi Aluminum Company, LtdInventors: Takuo Nakamura, Hayami Nakagawa, Katsuhiko Takashina, Hiroaki Kano, Junichi Yanase, Hiroyuki Seino, Hideki Ito, Satoshi Yanagimoto
