Abstract: A slide assist device includes a draw-in unit including a case attached to one of a main body or a mobile body, a slider slidably placed on the case, a latch pivotally supported in the slider and switchable between a standby position locking in a corresponding portion of the case and a draw-in position releasing the locking; and an urging device; and an actuating member attached to the other of the main body or the mobile body, switching the latch from the standby position to the draw-in position, or from the draw-in position to the standby position. The latch includes an axis portion having a flat surface and rotatably fits in an axis hole of the slider and forming a positional control surface corresponding to the flat surface. When the latch is switched to the standby position, the flat surface and the positional control surface face each other.

By switching the latch from the standby position to the draw-in position, an urging force moves the mobile body from a first position to a second position through the actuating member. At least one of either the slider or the case is disposed in a mutually opposed portion, and protrudes toward a mating side.

Abstract: A catcher member is provided to be movable between a standby position and a retracted position, and at the standby position, while being urged by an urging device, the catcher member is positioned in the standby position by a holding device. When a movable body is moved forward a predetermined movement position, a striker member is caught and engaged with the catcher member positioned in the standby position, and subsequently, holding by the holding device is released, and the catcher member is moved or relatively moved up to the retracted position by being urged by the urging device, so that the urging force is applied to the movable body up to position where the movement ends. An operation device is provided so as to be able to operate to move the catcher member which was moved to the retracted position without catching the striker member, toward the standby position.

Abstract: A catcher (2) provided in a door frame H? for capturing a striker body 1 moved from a near front side F when a door D? is rotated toward a reference position; a braking device (5); and a linkage device (3) for both are provided. The catcher (2) is provided to be reciprocatingly rotatable between a standby position and a rotated position, captures the striker body (1) at the standby position, and rotates forward to the rotated position. Braking of the braking device (5) is applied to a rotation toward the rotated position of the catcher (2) through the linkage gear member (30).

Abstract: To obtain a latch device for obtaining a great output load with a small input load. Holding parts (70) are provided on one end of holding members (64), and cam parts (72) are provided on the other end of the holding members (64), with a support part (68) of the holding members (64) as reference, and the cam parts (72) are moved away from each other by way of a rod (74), whereby the holding parts (70) are moved closer to each other. That is, the magnitude of the external force acting on the cam parts (72) can be changed by the movement of the rod (74), and the holding force of the holding parts (70) can therefore be changed with the support part (68) as a fulcrum. In other words, the stroke of the rod (74) and the position of the support part (68) of the holding member (64) are changed, and the distance from the support part (68) to the holding part (70) is made longer than the distance from the support part (68) to the cam parts (72).

Abstract: A withdrawing mechanism includes a striker disposed on one of a swingable member and a main body, a catcher disposed on the other of the swingable member and the main body to capture the striker moving, and a damper for applying a damping force to a turning operation of then catcher toward the turned position. The catcher is turnable between a standby position and a turned position. The catcher is biased towards the standby position when at a position closer to the standby position than an intermediate position between the standby position and the turned position and biased toward the turned position when at a position closer to the turned position than the intermediate position. The catcher includes a hooking groove for the striker on a surface extending substantially perpendicular to a rotary shaft thereof. The hooking groove faces an introduction port toward the front side in the standby position.

The catcher includes a casing, a rotational plate having a hooking groove for catching the striker therein, and a spring attached between an attaching portion of the rotational plate and a fixing portion of the casing to pull and rotate the rotational plate. When the rotation plate catches the striker, the rotational plate rotates in a direction to pull the spring, and when the attaching portion passes a position on a linear line extending the attaching portion, rotational center of the rotational plate and fixing portion, the rotational plate is pulled to move the rotational plate to the turned position.

Abstract: A withdrawing mechanism includes a catcher 2 disposed on a main body with a swingable member D swingably assembled thereto and configured to capture a striker 1 moving from a front side when the swingable member D is swung toward a reference position; and a load response type damper 6. The catcher 2 is configured to be turnable forward and backward throughout between a standby position and a turned position and to capture the striker 1 in the standby position and turn forward up to the turned position. The damper 6 is configured to apply a damping force to a turning operation of the catcher 2 toward the turned position.

Abstract: An anti-spilling valve for a vehicle fuel tank includes a cylindrical valve chamber having an upper wall at its upper end and closed at its lower end by a filter, an upwardly directed exhaust passage for fuel vapor formed at the center of the upper wall of the cylindrical valve chamber, a connecting pipe provided on the upper wall of the cylindrical valve chamber to extend radially outward and to have its inner end communicate with the upper end of the exhaust passage at a right angle, the inside diameters of the exhaust passage and the connecting pipe being equal, a float housed in the cylindrical valve chamber to be vertically movable and having on its upper surface a valve head adapted for closing the lower end of the exhaust passage, and a valve seat ring attached to the lower end of the exhaust passage closed by the valve head of the float, the valve seat ring having a smaller inside diameter than the exhaust passage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotary tank system to be provided inside a fuel tank for vehicles such as automobiles which is characterized in that it basically comprises two parts that are made of a material that can be hot-welded together, and at least a portion each of the contact faces between the first and the second halves of the tank is heated to molten state and subsequently abutted against each other in order to weld the two halves into an integral member.

Abstract: A reservoir in which fuel can be collected when only a small amount of fuel remains in the fuel tank, is arranged to support a fuel pump and to be connectable to the lower wall of the tank by a snap action type connector arrangement which is defined between a bracket fixed to the lower wall of the fuel tank and a portion of the reservoir which cooperates with the bracket. The reservoir containing the pump can be manually introduced into the interior of the fuel tank through an opening in the top thereof and maneuvered into engagement with the bracket. The center of gravity of the relatively heavy pump is arranged to be generally over the top of the bracket. When a predetermined strong force is applied to the reservoir in a predetermined manner it can disengage from the bracket.
