  • Patent number: 10549724
    Abstract: An ejection nozzle member attached to a vehicle-mounted camera is formed from an elastic material, and includes a cover member mounted on an upper surface of a casing, the cover member having therein an air passage to which compressed air is supplied. A pair of seal members are formed in an air ejecting unit, from which the compressed air is ejected, on outer sides of the air passage in a widthwise direction. The seal members are formed in lip shapes, protruding downward and toward the center in the widthwise direction on a side of the air passage. When the ejection nozzle member is attached to the camera, distal ends of the seal members are placed in contact mutually on the side of the air passage, and are pressed toward the casing by the compressed air that flows in the air passage to thereby be placed in intimate contact therewith.

  • Publication number: 20190366935
    Abstract: A center console structure includes a metal internal frame that supports a shift operation mechanism, and an outer sheath body made of resin that encloses the internal frame and forms a dressed surface. A front side part of the internal frame is slanted so that an upper member is positioned forward and obliquely upward of a base part member closer to the floor surface, and a storage part is formed in front of the base part member in which a bottom part extending in a vehicle front-rear direction to a position immediately below an instrument panel is provided. Both left and right side walls of the bottom part are surrounded by left and right fence parts formed by extending lower parts of left and right side wall parts of the outer sheath body forward, a rear part is surrounded by a front lower part of the outer sheath body.
