Abstract: To provide a glove box that can cause an inner case to operate to open obliquely downward while suppressing large change in the center of gravity in the up-down direction. A mechanism for guiding opening/closing operation of the inner case in the glove box is composed of two types of mechanisms: i.e., a slide mechanism including a guide shaft and a slide guide portion; and a link mechanism including a link member. The inner case is guided in the front-rear direction by the slide mechanism, and a rear portion of the inner case is guided so as to swing downward by the link mechanism.

Abstract: Provided is an air blowing device capable of keeping an air outlet invisible to the extent possible without impairing a function as the air blowing device. An air blowing device (10) includes: a tubular body (21) defining an airflow passage (21a) and an air outlet (21b); a guide wall (31) for guiding an airflow having passed through the air outlet in an intended direction; and a flow velocity adjusting mechanism (valve body) (22) capable of adjusting a flow velocity of the airflow passing through the air outlet. The guide wall has a convex surface shape protruding in a direction intersecting with a forward direction of the air outlet, and is arranged so that a projection image, which is obtained by projecting the guide wall onto an imaginary plane including the air outlet, covers the entire air outlet. The flow velocity adjusting mechanism is configured to adjust the flow velocity in accordance with the intended direction.

Abstract: A first frame section is hollow and has a substantially uniform polygonal cross-sectional shape. An axial load is applied to the first frame section. A second frame section is hollow and has a substantially uniform polygonal cross-sectional shape. The axial load is transmitted from the first frame section to the second frame section. A transmitting portion is provided in at least one of the first and second frame sections. The transmitting portion receives the axial load that acts on each edge of the first frame section and transmits the axial load to each edge of the second frame section.

Abstract: Load is applied to a bumper reinforce. Two hollow crash boxes are coupled to the bumper reinforce. Each crash box has a substantially constant cross section, an axis and an open end. When load is applied to the bumper reinforce, each crash box is plastically deformed in the axial direction for absorbing the load. The bumper reinforce includes projections. Each projection corresponds to one of the crash boxes and faces part of the open end of the corresponding crash box. The projections reduce the load at the beginning of plastic deformation.

Abstract: A bumper includes a pair of hollow crash boxes, each of which is located at one end of a bumper reinforce. when receiving axial load, each crash box is plastically deformed to absorb the axial load. An initial buckling portion is previously formed in each crash box. Plastic deformation of each crash box due to axial load starts at the associated initial buckling portion. This reduces axial load that is needed to start plastic deformation of each crash box.
