Abstract: A connection portion (13) of an FFC (12) to be preliminarily arranged on a roof trim (10) is weld-fixed to cable connecting portions (25a, 26a) of a bus bar (25) and a spring terminal (26) of a room lamp (20). Simultaneously with the arrangement of the FFC (12) on a vehicle-body-panel-side portion of the roof trim, the room lamp (20) is mounted in the lamp mounting window.

Abstract: A connector support structure including first and second connectors is disclosed. The first connector is supported by a part to be assembled. The second connector is to be fitted with the first connector. The first connector includes a first connector body and a plurality of rotary members. The first connector body has projections. The rotary members include rear engagement projections and cut-out parts for provisionally fastening engagement with the projections of the first connector body. The part to be assembled includes an engagement panel including cut-out parts for receiving the rear engagement projections while the projections of the first connector body are in provisionally fastening engagement with the cut-out parts of the rotary members.

Abstract: A first retainer engages with an exterior side of an interior wall member to retain a lamp unit on an interior side of the interior wall member. A second retainer engages with an exterior side of a panel body to retain the interior wall member, on which the lamp unit is mounted, on an interior side of the panel body. The second retainer includes a flexible arm having a free end portion which is flexible in a first direction parallel with the panel body and a second direction perpendicular to the panel body. The free end portion is abutted against the exterior side of the panel body when the interior wall member is mounted on the panel body. A regulator prevents the free end portion of the flexible arm from being flexed more than a predetermined amount in the second direction when the flexible arm is not flexed in the first direction.

Abstract: According to a connector supporting structure of the invention, a connector has a concave portion formed from an outer side face of a connector housing up to a position leading to a terminal accommodating chamber is supported with a bracket having a convex portion which engages with the concave portion so as to position the connector and unit the connector with the bracket. Further, according to a connector coupling structure of the invention, a holder, which has an opening portion corresponding to a bracket mounting hole formed in a panel, is installed to a face on an opposite side to a face on which the bracket is to be mounted, of the panel. And further a mating connector is installed within the holder such that it is freely movable around a supporting shaft and when the bracket united with the connector is installed to the panel, the connector is advanced into the holder through the opening portion and coupled with the mating connector.

Abstract: An information recording medium 1 at least comprises a substrate 13 having a microscopic pattern 20, which is constituted by a shape of continuous substance of approximately parallel grooves formed with a groove section G and a land section L alternately, a recording layer 12 formed on the microscopic pattern 20 and a light transmission layer 11 formed on the recording layer. The microscopic pattern 20 is formed so as to satisfy a relation of P<&lgr;<NA and a thickness of the light transmission layer 11 is within a range of 0.07 to 0.12 mm, wherein P is a pitch of the groove section G or the land section L, &lgr; is a wavelength of reproducing light beam and NA is a numerical aperture of an objective lens. Further, there provided an information recording medium, which is improved in cross erase and recorded in high density, and a reproducing apparatus and a recording apparatus for the information recording medium.

Abstract: A connector connecting structure comprises, a first connector 50 held by a connector holding member 30, and a second connector 90 to be fitted to the first connector 50. The first connector is provided with turning levers 70A, 70B which are temporarily engaged with the connector holding member 30 before the second connector 90 is fitted to the first connector 50, and when the second connector 90 is fitted to the first connector 50, the turning levers 70A, 70B are turned by a fitting operation therebetween and finally engaged with the connector holding member 30. The turning levers 70A, 70B are provided on one end with a pair of sandwiching projections 74, 75 located on a front face side and a back face of a holding wall of the connector holding member 30 for sandwiching the holding wall. A resilient arm 76 is provided on a portion of at least the back face side which abuts against the holding wall of the sandwiching projection.
