Patent number: 7658558Abstract: A shutter for an optical apparatus has multiple sectors and an operation member. Each of the multiple sectors has a cam opening for engagement and is pivotally provided to open and close a shutter opening, the operation member moves each of said multiple sectors in engagement with the cam opening, and the cam opening of at least one sector that is one of the multiple sectors is formed to change a moving direction of said at least one sector, when the operation member moves said at least one sector to a position to close the shutter opening.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2008Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Seiko Precision, Inc.Inventors: Hisashi Kawamoto, Kazuya Shioda, Phichet Numnual

Patent number: 5808546Abstract: A cancel mechanism of a turn indicator includes a projection adapted to rotate along an outer circumference of a steering wheel shaft. A bracket is positioned around at least portions of the outer circumference of the shaft. The bracket is rotatable in a generally circumferential direction around the shaft between an inactive position and an active position. A ratchet, having a first and second end, is positioned with its first and second ends in slidable engagement with associated first and second ends of the bracket. The ratchet also includes a projection retaining portion for retaining the projection when the shaft is turned in a canceling direction thereby returning the bracket to the inactive position. A biasing mechanism biases the ratchet toward the bracket.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1997Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai Rika Denki SeisakushoInventors: Fumitaka Hayase, Kazuya Shioda

Patent number: 5607049Abstract: A tilt and telescopic switch 10 includes a main body 19 received and accommodated in the space defined by a first hemispherical recess 38 of an upper casing member 12 and a second hemispherical recess 60 of a lower casing member 14. The main body 19 accommodated in the space continuously receives the pressing force of a spring 44 and allows a first hemispherical member 28 of the main body 19 to come into contact with the first hemispherical recess 38 along the substantially whole surface thereof. The first hemispherical member 28 of the main body 19 is thus guided by the hemispherical inner surface of the first hemispherical recess 38, so that the main body 19 rocks from its neutral position in the direction shown by the double-headed arrow X or in the direction shown by the double-headed arrow Y.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1995Date of Patent: March 4, 1997Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai Rika Denki SeisakushoInventor: Kazuya Shioda
