The lock bar carrier is a signal member including a support column, a stopper projection, and a cylindrical body having a female-threaded portion. Thus, the lock mechanism is easy to assemble, and the steering lock can be efficiently manufactured.

Abstract: A steering lock that is easy to assemble includes an ECU case having a first terminal. The first terminal has an end for directly contacting an input terminal of a motor. A component for connecting the first terminal of the ECU case and the input terminal of the motor is not necessary. The other end of the first terminal is directly connected to an electric circuit of a steering lock ECU. This eliminates the need for an additional component connecting the first terminal and the steering lock ECU.

Abstract: A steering lock that is easy to assemble but difficult for an automobile thief to dismantle. The steering lock includes a cover on which a support structure for supporting a lock mechanism is integrally formed. The lock mechanism is attached to the cover to assemble a first subunit.

Abstract: An operation process item setting system for POS system includes a check table with table-type-stored set-up therein of POS system operation process items and items indicative of whether the respective operation processes are necessary. Designation as to whether the operation process of an operation process item stored in the check table is made with an input means for causing the operation of the designated operation process item. The operation process items at the time of opening the shop are a cash drawer change registration process, and the operation process items at the time of closing the shop are a cash drawer money amount register process, a non-settled slip closing process or a present stock-managed goods stock input process.

Abstract: A controller enabling switching between a smart function and an immobilizer function without using a key cylinder or a slot. The controller includes a verification ECU for transmitting a request signal to a first area and transmitting a transponder drive radio wave to a second area. The portable device transmits an ID code signal in response to the request signal or the transponder drive radio wave. The verification ECU enables the starting of an engine when the ID code transmitted from the portable device matches an ID code of the controller. The verification ECU transmits the drive radio wave when a driver operates a switch in a state in which the starting of the engine is not enabled after the request signal is transmitted.

Abstract: A switch device that occupies less space and that can be manufactured at a lower cost. The switch device includes an operation switch operated by an operator for driving an actuator and a coil antenna used to output a transponder-driving radio wave. The coil antenna is arranged adjacent to the operation switch.

Abstract: A CPU 2, a ROM 3, a RAM 4 and an input/display part 5 are connected to a POS main unit 1. A communication part 6 is connected to the CPU 2 for transmitting and receiving data to and from a handy terminal 10 and a kitchen 17. In a main cooking menu 7, data of main cooking names are collectively stored. In a sub-cooking menu 8, three different cooking forms, i.e., “increase”, “deletion” and “addition” are described for each sub-cooking name. A check table 9 is provided as a data check table for checking whether a combination of one of a plurality of main cooking names of the main cooking menu 7 and one of a plurality of sub-cooking names of the sub-cooking menu 8 is proper.

Abstract: A shift lever device in which a shift lever lock mechanism is not released inadvertently, and improper operation is prevented. In the shift lever device, a lock plate, which impedes movement of a detent rod, is covered by a cavity portion of a shift lever. These internal devices are covered by a cover box and a detent plate. In a P shift position, a gap formed by, on the one hand, the cover box and the detent plate, and, on the other hand, the shift lever and the cavity portion thereof, is a labyrinthine structure which is stepped along a horizontal direction. Accordingly, improper operation can be further prevented.

Abstract: In a shift lever device of the present invention, when a lever is positioned at a “P” shift position and an ignition key is positioned at a “LOCK” position, a lock bar impedes swivel of a lock plate, and the lever cannot be shifted. If the lever is not positioned at the “P” shift position, the lock bar retains rotation of a cam, and the ignition key cannot be moved to the “LOCK” position. By forming a lock body integrally with the shift lever device, a shift lock mechanism can be used as an anti-theft device. Further, a key interlock mechanism serving as a safety device of the shift lever device can be provided easily.

Abstract: An electronic cash register for registering sales of commodities sold to a customer is stored with a list of predetermined commodities to be recommended to customers. The predetermined commodities are compared one after another according to priority orders with the commodities sold and extracts items in the predetermined commodities which are different from the commodities sold. Then, the extracted items are displayed on a monitor display, and are recommended to the customer.

Abstract: A shift lever device in which, by the integration with a key cylinder, a reduction in the use of space, simplification, cost reduction and weight lightening can be achieved. The shift lever device is such that the lever supported by a lock body that houses the key cylinder, and a first cam and second cam are provided integrally with the key cylinder. A shift lock pin and starter lock pin are provided in the lock body, and the first insertion hole, in which the shift lock pin is inserted by the first cam, and a second insertion hole and third insertion hole in which a starter lock pin is inserted by the second cam, are provided in a detent plate fixed in the shift lever. As a result, the shift lever device is integrated with the key cylinder and, for this reason, a reduction in the space for the mounting thereof, and moreover, as the connector components with the vehicle become unnecessary, a simplification, cost reduction and weight lightening, can be achieved.
