  • Patent number: 10518669
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle seat. In the vehicle seat, a tilting member transmits a pivoting force to a back frame. An engagement member is coupled to the back frame, and allows transmission of the pivoting force to the back frame when the engagement member is in the engaged position. A recliner comprises an output gear that moves integrally with the tilting member. An amount of elastic deformation of a fold down spring increases when the back frame pivots in a rearward direction. A first anchoring member is a member that is fixed to the back frame and to which a first end of the fold down spring is anchored. A second anchoring member is a member to which a second end of the fold down spring is anchored and that moves integrally with the output gear.

  • Patent number: 9893242
    Abstract: A light emitting device is provided that can restrain deterioration of a mount substrate made of resin, the light emitting device including: a support member that is made of resin; a pair of wirings that are arranged on the support member; a light emitting element that is arranged to cross the pair of wirings and that has a pair of electrodes on one side running in parallel to the pair of wirings so as to be electrically connected; and a vaporproof member in a film shape that seamlessly covers an upper face of the support member, at least, in a region where the light emitting element is arranged between the pair of wirings in a plan view, wherein the vaporproof member has a higher vaporproof property than that of the support member.

  • Patent number: 9163959
    Abstract: A position detecting device using a reflection type photosensor, comprising a reflector fitted to a moving target and having reflecting portions and non-reflecting portions arranged alternately in a moving direction of the moving target, a reflection type photosensor having a light emitting element and a light receiving element with plural light receiving portions, and an operation unit for calculating a value indicating the position of the moving target. The light receiving element comprises the first and second light receiving portions outputting signals having different phases, the second light receiving portion is divided into two regions provided at far and near sides from the light emitting element about the first light receiving portion, and the operation unit calculates the value using the one signal calculated from the output signals from the two regions and the output signal from the first light receiving portion.

  • Patent number: 8941051
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a position detecting device using a reflection type photosensor, which assures a small size and low cost and enables detection of a long distance of about 10 mm or more, and a position detecting method. The position of a moving body is detected by providing, on the moving body, a reflection plate (12) having reflecting surfaces (sa) and non-reflecting surfaces (sb) arranged alternately in a moving direction of the moving body, providing a light receiving element (8) of the reflection type photosensor (9) with, for example, two light receiving portions (8a and 8b) having different light receiving regions in the moving direction of the moving body, outputting output signals from these two light receiving portions (8a and 8b), and carrying out at least one calculation of adding, subtracting, dividing and function calculation of these two output signals.
