Abstract: Disclosed is an ultraviolet light-emitting element which uses an electron emission operation. The ultraviolet light-emitting element is sealed to maintain a high degree of vacuum. A emission substrate is prepared for the electron emission and an electron emitted from the emission substrate passes through a control substrate. The electron, which has passed through the control substrate, collides with a light-emitting substrate, from which formation of a p-type semiconductor has been excluded, and thus forms ultraviolet light.

Abstract: A steering column apparatus configured for vehicles may include a housing assembly, and a support assembly configured to be coupled to one side of the housing assembly to serve to absorb a tilt and an impact.

Abstract: A device for operating a horn of a vehicle includes: a horn operation cover covering a top portion and a circumference of an airbag module mounted on a frame of a steering wheel of the vehicle, the horn operation cover configured to be moved downward or upward; a conductive plate spring having one end fixed to the frame and another end in contact with the horn operation cover; and a conductive contact terminal disposed under the plate spring such that a contact between the contact terminal and the plate spring is possible. When the horn operation cover is moved downward so as to press the other end of the plate spring, the plate spring electrically contacts the contact terminal, thereby operating the horn.

Abstract: A column housing for a vehicle steering system is made of synthetic resin and coupled outside a column tube of a steering column for the vehicle system, the column housing including: a slit which is formed to be elongated in a predetermined direction so that the column housing is deformed inward when the column housing is pressed on and fixed to the column tube positioned inside the column housing; and a first reinforcing portion which is formed so as to protrude outward at a predetermined portion from an end position of an end portion of the slit to the periphery of the slit where the slit is not formed, and has a shape having an increased thickness relative to other portions of the column housing.

Abstract: A stitchless steering wheel fitted with leather, which is formed by covering a grip body with leather may include a first rim bezel mounted in a wheel groove of the grip body, and including a bezel groove to receive end portions of the leather, and a second rim bezel fastened in the bezel groove of the first rim bezel and fixing the end portions of the leather received in the bezel groove.

Abstract: An impact-absorbing system of a steering column, which includes a mounting plate, an outer tube, an upper shaft, and a lower shaft. The impact absorbing system includes a mounting plate hole, a curling plate pin, a trans bracket coupled to the outer tube, a trans bracket hole, a curling plate, a curling plate guide, a mounting plate slot, and a curling guide coupling portion fixing the curling plate guide to the trans bracket and moving along the mounting plate slot in the event of collision.

Abstract: A panel includes an air bag insert hole. An air bag housing is mounted in the air bag insert hole. The air bag housing includes a connector. A bracket is attached to the panel and to the connector, to connect the air bag housing to the panel. The panel may further include at least one breakable portion, configured to break upon inflation of an air bag cushion mounted within the air bag housing. The breakable portion may include thinner material than material of a remaining portion of the panel, perforations, or a crack. The bracket may have a higher ductility than the lower panel. The bracket may be bolted to the lower panel. The connector may include a secondary hole. The bracket has a portion that is inserted in the secondary hole.
