  • Publication number: 20190092289
    Abstract: A brake pedal device 1 includes a pedal bracket 10, an operating pedal 20, an intermediate lever 25, a coupling link 30, and a cylindrical member 40. A side plate 11 of the pedal bracket 10 includes an opening for preventing rearward movement 16 and a movement allowing part 17. The opening for preventing rearward movement 16 is located in a separating direction D relative to a second shaft hole 15. The movement allowing part 17 is configured to include a holding protrusion 18 and a cutout 19. When a load caused by a vehicle collision acts, a second support shaft 13 for supporting the intermediate lever 25 moves from the second shaft hole 15 toward the opening for preventing rearward movement 16 through the movement allowing part 17, forcibly causing the operating pedal 20 to pivot toward the vehicle front side about a first support shaft 12.

  • Patent number: 10224898
    Abstract: This piezoelectric wafer has: a piezoelectric vibration piece; a frame portion that supports the piezoelectric vibration piece; and a coupling portion that couples the piezoelectric vibration piece to the frame portion. A pair of first and second metal bumps is formed in juxtaposition on the piezoelectric vibration piece. The coupling portion has slits extending in its width direction except in a bridge, i.e., a part of the coupling portion in its width direction. An end in the width direction of the bridge is distantly spaced from the first and second metal bumps both in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the coupling portion with no overlap with these metal bumps.

  • Patent number: 10211807
    Abstract: This piezoelectric wafer has: a piezoelectric vibration piece; a frame portion that supports the piezoelectric vibration piece; and a coupling portion that couples the piezoelectric vibration piece to the frame portion. The piezoelectric vibration piece is broken off at the coupling portion and separated from the piezoelectric wafer. On front and back surfaces of the coupling portion, grooved slits extending along a width direction of the coupling portion are formed except for parts of the coupling portion in the width direction. An electrode on at least one of front and back surfaces of the piezoelectric vibration piece is extracted to a frame-portion side of the piezoelectric wafer by way of the part of the coupling portion in the width direction.
