Abstract: A vibration proofing device includes a bracket having an internal space, and a vibration proofing member inserted into the internal space. The internal space is open on an outer surface of the bracket. At least a pair of facing-each-other surfaces, against which the vibration proofing member is pressed, is formed in an inner surface of the bracket. A distance between the pair of the facing-each-other surfaces on a far side in an insertion direction of the vibration proofing member is the same, in at least some regions of the bracket, as that on a near side in the insertion direction. This provides the vibration proofing device and the bracket to allow for compactly configuring the device as a whole, while sufficiently securing a retaining force between the bracket and the vibration proofing member.

Abstract: A foam molded article mold includes a lower mold with a cavity space; an upper mold formed with an upper mold face portion facing a lower mold face portion of the cavity space when the upper mold has been brought together with the lower mold; a partitioning wall that projects out from the upper mold face portion, and that configures a first parting line between the partitioning wall and the lower mold face portion in a state in which the upper mold has been brought together with the lower mold; and a partition that projects out from the lower mold face portion, and that, in a state in which the upper mold has been brought together with the lower mold, partitions the cavity space together with the partitioning wall to form plural cavities, and that configures a second parting line between the partition and the partitioning wall.

Abstract: A battery device is provided with cooling bodies for contacting the outer surfaces of a plurality of battery cells arranged inside a battery case, and spacers provided adjacent to the cooling bodies. The cooling bodies absorb or are impregnated with a cooling fluid inside the battery case. Cooling medium vapor flow channels in which cooling medium vapor circulates are formed on the surfaces of the spacers facing the cooling bodies, the cooling medium vapor being generated by the evaporation of the cooling fluid of the cooling bodies.

Abstract: An interior component mounting structure for mounting an elongated interior component to an interior assembly includes a mounting portion and locking portions of the interior component and insertion holes and a fitting groove in the interior assembly. The mounting portion protrudes from a back surface of the interior component and extends along a longitudinal direction of the interior component. The locking portions protrude from a distal end of the mounting portion to be spaced at predefined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the interior component. The ends of the interior component are inserted into the insertion holes. The mounting portion is fitted into the fitting groove. The fitting groove includes locking holes in which the locking portions are held, respectively. The locking holes have a dimension measuring in the longitudinal direction of the interior component greater than a dimension of the locking portions measuring in the longitudinal direction of the interior component.

Abstract: A utility part assembly includes a vehicular interior part and a utility part. The vehicular interior part has a first surface and a second surface that is opposite to the first surface and has a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole. The utility part includes a first member provided on the first surface and a second member provided on the second surface. The first member has a first coupling pin and one of a second coupling pin and a first coupling hole, and the second member has a coupling portion that is coupled to the first coupling pin and another one of the second coupling pin and the first coupling hole. The first coupling pin is inserted through the first mounting hole and coupled to the coupling portion, and the second coupling pin is inserted through the second mounting hole and coupled to the first coupling hole.

Abstract: A vehicular door includes a window including an outer rim, a window frame provided to surround the outer rim of the window, a sunshade, a hook member, and a door trim. The sunshade is provided to a part of the window frame so as to be extended therefrom and housed therein and configured to be extended to block light entering through the window. The hook member is configured to stop an end of the sunshade to keep the sunshade in an extended state. The door trim is provided on a lower side of the window and includes an upper surface portion that is exposed to the window side. The hook member is mounted on the upper surface portion of the door trim.

Abstract: A household power supply system using an electric vehicle, comprises an external power system, a house with an indoor power line, an electric vehicle having a vehicle power system with vehicle batteries, a charger/discharger for connecting separably the indoor power line and the vehicle power system, and a controler for controlling power supply to the indoor power line. The power supply system is capable of supplying energy from the household power supply to the vehicle batteries at the normal state, and conversely supplying energy from the vehicle batteries to the indoor power line at the time of emergency, etc. to enable employment of indoor electric equipments.

Abstract: A semiconductor sensor with a compact structure is provided, which comprises a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor diaphragm integrally formed with the semiconductor substrate, and a penetrating aperture formed in the semiconductor substrate so as to surround desired sides of the diaphragm. The aperture has first and second funnel-shaped aperatures whose intersecting conic sections open toward opposite directions. A cavity for defining the diaphragm is provided when the semiconductor substrate is subjected to electrolytic etching to form the second funnel-shaped aperture therein.
