  • Patent number: 4967178
    Abstract: An apparatus in which the posture of a seat for vehicles is controlled in accordance with the output from a mode selecting circuit in response to the operation of a manually operated switch composed of a mode select switch and increasing/decreasing switches, and the posture controlling direction is announced by means of displaying means. By contrast, in the second embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 2, the input to the LCD controlling circuit 260 and to the voice synthesizer 210' is dependent only upon the control mode selected by the switch 13. Thus, only the selected control mode is displayed in the audio and visual ways. Of course, the invention includes all such variations and modifications of combinations of the features disclosed for both embodiments. Such announcement is made visually and audiometrically. The mode selecting circuit supplies a signal representing the posture controlling direction to an announcing device by operation of the increasing/decreasing switches.

  • Patent number: 4691181
    Abstract: This hinge type relay is provided with an elastically movable contact point at one side of an armature, while at another side is provided with a non-magnetic supporting piece formed bendingly downward, and further a fulcrum which supports the above non-magnetic supporting piece rockably at the lower portion of the upper bending portion of the yoke which supports the above armature is provided. By this, when the fixed contact point and the movable contact point of the hinge type relay contact with or separate from each other, the both contact point wipe and the generated magnetic flux of the electro magnet acts to the armature effectively.
