Abstract: A guide structure for guiding a removable seat to move between a support base and a storage container is constituted by a joint portion between a lower face of a seat cushion of the seat and the support base and is constituted as a storing structure of the storage container. And, an arrangement relationship between both members is constituted to be such an arrangement relationship that the removable seat can also be guided to move to the guide structure constituted at the storage container in a state where the removable seat is guided to move by the guide structure constituted at the removable seat.

Abstract: A structure of storing a vehicular seat according to one aspect of the invention is constituted by a seat detachably connected to a support base, and a storing space capable of storing the seat detached from the support base. The seat includes an engaging member is fixed to the support base by engaging an engaging portion provided at the support base. The storing space includes a bottom wall, side walls erected to an upper side from two left and right side edges of the bottom wall, and a depth wall erected from a depth edge of the bottom wall to the upper side, and is constituted to slide to store the seat. The seat includes fixing means at predetermined positions inside of the storing space. The fixing means are formed by shapes to slidingly receive and to fix the engaging member of the seat.

Abstract: According to this invention, there are provided a stopper stopping forward pivoting of a seat back at the position of a forwardly tilted state, a stopper operation mechanism, a reclining mechanism switching the seat back between a free state in which it can be pivoted with respect to a seat cushion and a lock state in which it cannot be pivoted with respect thereto, a reclining lever, and a connection lever. Through operation of operation levers the seat back is placed in the free state via the stopper operation mechanism, the connection lever, and the reclining lever, and the stopper is moved via the stopper operation mechanism. And, between the stopper operation mechanism and the reclining lever is provided a retention mechanism that retains the stopper at a position to which the stopper is moved.

Abstract: A vehicle seat can include a stopper capable of stopping a forward tilting of a seat back at a forwardly tilted position, and a stopper operation mechanism. The stopper operation mechanism has a main pivoting member that is pivoted through an operation of a forward tilting operation lever, a sub pivoting member that is pivoted with respect to the main pivoting member, and a connection spring connecting these tilting members to each other. When the forward tilting operation lever is operated, the sub pivoting member receives a force from the connection spring to be pivoted together with the main pivoting member, causing the stopper to move to an acting position. When the stopper is pushed from the acting position toward a non-acting position, with the forward tilting operation lever being operated, the sub pivoting member receives a force from the stopper to elastically deform the connection spring, and is pivoted with respect to the main pivoting member together with the stopper.

Abstract: A reflective screen includes a light reflecting layer, and a light diffusing layer provided on the light reflecting layer. The light diffusing layer has the diffusion property that in one (A axis) of two perpendicular axial directions on a light diffusion plane, a luminance distribution curve versus incidence angle is asymmetric with respect to the zero-incidence-angle axis, and the side on which the incidence angle (half-luminance incidence angle) with half of a peak luminance on the A axis in the normal direction to the screen plane is small faces in a direction in which external light has the highest strength.

Abstract: A cassette accommodation case for accommodating therein a cassette containing an information recording medium, a card or the like includes a case body in which the cassette is accommodated, an openable and/or closeable lid molded of transparent plastic, having a lenticular lens on its external surface, and rotatably supported by the case body, a card to be inserted between an inner surface of the lid and the cassette and on which a stereoscopic synthetic picture is printed, the picture forming a 3-dimensional picture when it is seen through the lenticular lens, and a supporting portion formed in the case body so as to support the card such that its printed surface is held at a predetermined portion with respect to the lenticular lens of the lid when the lid is closed.

Abstract: A recording medium urging pad can urge a recording medium such as a magnetic tape against a recording and reproducing head stably and reliably. A head pad (10) fixed to a supporting member such as a leaf spring (9) comprises a first layer (10a) with a low elastic modulus contacting with a magnetic tape (T) and a second layer (10b) with an elastic modulus higher than that of the first layer (10a) fixed to the leaf spring (9), wherein a thickness (Ta) of the first layer (10a) and a thickness (Tb) of the second layer satisfy the following equation expressed as: ##EQU1## and the first and second layers (10a) and (10b) are bonded by an adhesive (10c).

Abstract: In order to produce a cassette, such as tape cassette, disc cassette or the like, the following steps are taken. First, fixed and movable dies are prepared which are unitable to define therewithin a shaped cavity. The movable die has at its inner surface a retaining ridge which includes a first portion immediately projected from the inner surface and a second portion immediately projected from the first portion. The second portion has side walls at least one of which has a laterally extending projection at the position remote from the first portion. Second, the fixed and movable dies are coupled to define the shaped cavity therewithin. Third, a plastic material is injected into the shaped cavity in such a manner that the retaining ridge is immersed in the injected plastic material. Fourth, the fixed and movable dies are uncoupled and a cured molded article of the plastic material thus produced is released from the movable die.
