  • Patent number: 11914270
    Abstract: A slide mechanism includes: a slider that is movable between a first position and a second position along an edge wall; a shield cover on the slider, the shield cover being located to cover the front of the camera when the slider is in the first position and located to be away from the front of the camera when the slider is in the second position; a movable magnet at the slider; and a fixed magnet at the chassis. The movable magnet and the fixed magnet are disposed to face each other so that when the slider is in the first position and the second position, the movable magnet and the fixed magnet attract to each other, and when the slider is located between the first position and the second position, the movable magnet and the fixed magnet repel each other.

  • Patent number: 9688229
    Abstract: An airbag of an airbag device for a driver seat has a front panel and a back panel. In the airbag having undergone spontaneous inflation, when a size between a securing position of the airbag to a retainer member and the most protruding portion of the airbag with respect to the securing position is set as 1, the most protruding portion by the back panel is located at a position spaced from the securing position by 0.5 or greater, a diameter of the inflated airbag of an opposing portion to an inner surface of the wheel is 0.6 to 1.2 times as large as an inner diameter of the wheel, and a diameter of the inflated airbag of a joint portion of the front panel and the back panel is greater than the diameter of the inflated airbag of the opposing portion to the inner surface of the wheel.

  • Patent number: 8528934
    Abstract: Closing movement of at least one of two or more air chambers is started at an early stage, and an inflated air chamber is tightly closed and maintained in an inflated state for a long time. Inside of an airbag is partitioned into air chambers, with a partitioning cloth, and a diffuser that stores a gas generator is disposed in the air chambers, through the partitioning cloth. Gas from a gas generator is rectified by the diffuser, and is supplied from outlet parts, into the air chambers, thereby inflating and deploying the air chambers. An occupant side base cloth, a semi-perimeter portion around the lower outlet part, is connected to a back-side base cloth of the airbag, and in accordance with an inflation of the lower air chamber, a tension is imposed on the occupant side base cloth from the back-side base cloth, thereby elongating the lower air chamber.

  • Patent number: 8419052
    Abstract: An airbag device includes an airbag, an inflator, and a mounting plate. A steering wheel includes a wheel main body and a core member as a central member. A mounting member is provided to any one of the mounting plate side and the core member side, and a locking body is provided to the other thereof. The mounting member includes a column part and a locking protrusion provided in a protruding manner to a distal end portion of the column part. The locking body is locked with an inner corner portion between the column part and the locking protrusion, whereby the airbag device is mounted to the steering wheel. A locking abutment surface of the locking protrusion, which faces a proximal end portion of the column part, includes a slip-off prevention protrusion that holds the locking body on the proximal-end-portion side of the locking protrusion.

  • Publication number: 20120313357
    Abstract: An airbag device includes a mounting plate, a locking body formed of a linear material configured to be elastically deformed into a shape in which an intermediate wire portion and a pair of side wire portions are continuous so as to form a U-like shape, and a holding member holding the locking body on the mounting plate. Each of end portions of the pair of side wire portions is formed as an inclined portion for biasing, and a pair of auxiliary biasing members respectively configured to abut against the pair of inclined portions for biasing are provided in the mounting plate. The locking body is held on the mounting plate in a state in which the pair of inclined portions for biasing respectively abut against the pair of auxiliary biasing members to bias the intermediate wire portion toward a direction of being locked with the first mounting member.
