Abstract: An improved method for manufacturing a lever for an automotive door checking device and the lever produced by the method. According to the invention, the mold employed for the molding of the sliding part of the lever has a gate at one of the two longitudinal ends of the cavity wall so that the molten resin containing reinforcing fibers flows in and fills up the cavity along the longitudinally extending direction corresponding to the sliding direction of the sliding part. As a result, the reinforcing fibers embedded in the sliding part are one-dimentionally oriented to the sliding direction thereof, which provides anti-wearing property, durability and good sliding characteristics of the lever.

Abstract: A door hinge is provided for a side-door of a vehicle whereby an impact applied to the side door in a direction transverse to the vehicle is absorbed at a connecting portion for connecting the side door to the body of the vehicle. The door hinge is comprised of a female and a male, and a connecting portion is provided uprightly on the male. Bearing portions are provided uprightly on the female, and the connecting portion and the bearing portions rotate relatively to each other with a shaft as a center of rotation. The connecting portion of the male is curved in such a manner as to protrude in the forward direction of the vehicle, and a point of application of a load and a support point in the male are offset from each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: An automatic opening and closing device for back door includes a back door rotatably supported on a body. A telescopically adjustable device is telescopically disposed between the back door and the body. One end of the telescopically adjustable device connected to the back door and the other end thereof is connected to the body. A driving device is served for telescopically moving the telescopically adjustable device.

Abstract: A door check for holding a vehicle door to any desired open position relative to the vehicle body includes a lever connected to the vehicle body, a casing connected to the door and receiving a roller holder for relative movement between the door and the vehicle body. The roller holder has a hollow portion for giving resiliency to the holder for eliminating the noises caused by the gap otherwise provided between the two.

Abstract: A radiator grille actuating mechanism for use on an automobile having a body and utilizing an engine coolant, comprises a radiator grille pivotably mounted on the automobile body, a link mechanism operatively connected to said radiator grille and pivotably mounted on the automobile body, an actuator mounted on the automobile body and operatively connected to the link mechanism for moving the radiator grille between open and closed positions through the link mechanism, and means for actuating the actuator to move the radiator grille between the open position and the closed position in response to sensing of a predetermined temperature of the engine coolant. The radiator grille can be brought to the open position when the engine coolant reaches the predetermined temperature, thus allowing a sufficient amount of air to be supplied to the radiator to prevent the engine from being overheated.
