  • Patent number: 11359986
    Abstract: Fixed conductive plates are buried in a case. In its internal space, a first contact surface, which is part of each fixed conductive plate, and a second contact surface, which is an inner surface of the case, are opposite to each other, and an elastic conductive plate is interposed in this opposing portion. The elastic conductive plate is structured so that, in a restricting portion, a support piece portion is fitted to the thin plate portion of the fixed conductive plate and that an elastic arm portion extends from the support piece portion.

  • Patent number: 9145970
    Abstract: There is provided a control device for an automatic transmission configured to automatically shift a transmission of a driving force of a motor in response to a driving state. The automatic transmission includes a synchromesh mechanism configured to couple gear pairs and a rotary shaft to transmit the driving force of the motor to the gear pairs and a switching apparatus configured to switch a coupling state of the gear pairs and the rotary shaft. A preload control unit is configured to operate the switching apparatus to apply a preload to the synchromesh mechanism when a shift transmission request is detected. A shift control unit is configured to operate the switching apparatus to apply a shift load greater than the preload to the synchromesh mechanism after the preload is applied to the synchromesh mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8683660
    Abstract: A snap button wherein when a male snap is removed from a female snap, a rotation between the snaps is limited, but is permitted normally. A male-side grooved surface is provided on a male snap radially outward from a projection of the snap with a plurality of grooves formed so that peaks and troughs of the grooves are arranged continuously in the circumferential direction. A female-side grooved surface similar to the male-side grooved surface is provided on a female snap radially outward from a projection-receiving space of the snap. The female-side grooved surface is inclined relative to the male-side grooved surface. When the male snap is removed from the female snap, each axis of the male snap and the female snap, which are yet in a coupled state, inclines relative to each other, causing the male-side grooved surface and the female-side grooved surface to partially engage with each other.
