  • Patent number: 7874048
    Abstract: When an operation wall of an inner member is inserted into an insertion portion of an outer member and an engagement piece does not receive a cam operation due to a slanted cam portion, contact pieces of the outer member do not correspond to a positioning hole of the inner member and are located in a position so as not to be inserted into the positioning hole. When the outer member is inserted into an attachment hole of an attachment receiving member with maintaining a state where the engagement piece does not receive the cam operation due to the slanted cam portion, the contact pieces are elastically deformed inwardly and located in a position so as to be inserted into the positioning hole.

  • Publication number: 20090110507
    Abstract: In a clip, when an inner member and an outer member are locked with each other, a first projection and a second projection of each engagement piece are located in an operation hole. When a tool is inserted into the operation hole formed on the inner member in the locked state, engagement of the first projection and an engagement hole is released and the locked state is released. When the tool is pulled from the operation hole in a direction opposite to the inserting direction, the inner member and the outer member are in a provisionally locked state.

  • Patent number: 7014901
    Abstract: The present invention intends to provide an air bag door construction in which the air bag develops smoothly and securely, the skin can be easily produced with small man-hour, and which is excellent in the surface appearance. The skin 50 is formed by a mold 5 including an endless and annular wall 50 provided at a part of a molding surface to be inclined relative to the molding surface. A groove portion 35 of the skin 3 formed by the wall 50 is cut at a bottom portion thereof to separate the skin 3 into a general portion 30 and a door portion 31. The general portion 30 and the door portion 31 are relatively shifted to make both surfaces thereof flush with each other. When the surfaces of the general portion 30 and the door portion 31 are flush by the relative shift, gap between the general portion 30 and the door portion 31 can be narrowed, and gap appeared on the surface can also be narrowed.

  • Patent number: 5904804
    Abstract: A method of wrapping labels about batteries comprising the steps of peeling off individual labels provisionally glued on a band-shaped base paper, holding the individual labels on the surface of a continuously rotating label drum using suction forces applied trough holes or passages on the surface of the label suction drum, and wrapping the labels on the label suction drum on the outer circumference of rotating batteries continuously supplied by a battery conveying table. The apparatus of the invention comprises a battery conveying table for rotatably conveying batteries to a predetermined position for receiving the label, a label drum for holding the labels by suction forces and conveying the labels to the predetermined position, and a battery rotation belt for rotating the batteries while pressing the label to the outer circumference of the battery after the label is positioned by the suction drum, and wrapping the label to the outer circumference of the battery by rotating the battery.

  • Patent number: 5756189
    Abstract: A console lid comprises a base having a predetermined rigidity and a skin layer member having an inner layer and an outer layer, which covers the base. A cushioning layer made of foamed polyurethane having a thickness that decreases toward the ends thereof is provided between the top of the base and the skin layer member. The skin layer member which has been trimmed is positioned in a mold and the cushioning layer is positioned so that it is in contact with the skin layer member. A plasticized resin is charged into a mold cavity from a gate to form a base. Excellent soft touch and feel is provided by the resulting composite structure since the cushioning layer, made of a soft material, is provided between the base and the skin layer member in a position where such a soft touch or cushioning is most desirable.

  • Patent number: 5205887
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for an article having a foamed layer, comprising the steps of: retaining and fixing an adherent portion having a resin-made reinforcing layer and a foamed layer, the reinforcing layer having an integrally formed design surface; and vibration welding, with a low-frequency wave, the reinforcing layer and a base portion together so as to be integrally bonded while the base portion, formed of resin which can be welded to the reinforcing layer, is in contact with the reinforcing layer. Thus, it is possible to reduce the processes which require a great deal of man-hours, such as the applying and drying of an adhesive material, sewing and mechanically affixing. Consequently, an attractive article can be produced while reducing manufacturing man-hours and providing for automated manufacture.
