Publication number: 20080034821Abstract: A latch-release actuating apparatus includes a switch element, a base member, and a cover member. The switch element is depressed via the cover member. In the latch-release actuating apparatus, a key top member and the cover member are formed to be long to extend horizontally from an upper region of the push button. The key top member is arranged on a back surface of the cover member so that a longitudinal direction of the key top member coincides with a longitudinal direction of the cover member. Furthermore, claws and retaining portions to which the claws are retained are arranged between the base member and both longitudinal ends of the key top member, thereby constituting a regulating unit for restricting separation of the key top member from the push button when the claw abuts on the retaining portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Inventor: Katsuyuki Ishiguro

Publication number: 20060279095Abstract: A latch release operating apparatus release a latch state of a door, for example, a vehicle door. The apparatus includes an enclosure. The enclosure includes a case having a hollow portion; a base plate arranged in the hollow portion, the base plate having an electrically conducting portion; a member made of electrically non-conducting material arranged at the electrically conducting portion of the base plate; and a cover for closing the hollow portion. At least one of the case and the cover is provided with a breathing hole so that an interior of the enclosure communicates with an exterior of the enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2006Publication date: December 14, 2006Inventor: Katsuyuki Ishiguro

Patent number: 7078640Abstract: An opening switch for an opening and closing body includes a switch base having a first substrate and a second substrate which are put together in a manner such that inner faces of the substrates face each other and outer faces of the substrates are outer faces of the switch base; a main switch body provided on the outer face of the first substrate; a lever portion which is provided on the inner face of the first substrate and passes the second substrate through a through hole; and a flange portion for preventing an over stroke of the lever portion. The flange portion protrudes from the outer face of the second substrate and is positioned away from the lever portion and on a side toward which the lever portion is inclined. A flexible cover member for covering a combined body of the lever portion and the flange portion is provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2005Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignees: Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Miyake, Tomofumi Ichinose, Kenichi Munenaga, Kazuhiko Yamada, Katsuyuki Ishiguro

Publication number: 20060119113Abstract: A latch release operating apparatus includes a switch unit that has a push button on its switch main unit and that is turned ON for releasing a latch state of a door when the push button is pressed down; a base member that holds the switch unit via the switch main unit such that the push button faces the outside; and a waterproof cover member that is attached on a surface of the base member and that covers the push button. A peripheral edge of the cover member is held between the base member and a door outer panel, and the switch unit is mounted on the door outer panel via the base member such that the push button is operable from an outside of the door outer panel via the cover member.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2005Publication date: June 8, 2006Inventor: Katsuyuki Ishiguro
