Patent number: 11619868Abstract: A projection device includes a housing including a wall part including an opening, and a cover with a plate shape having a light-transmitting property and closing the opening. The wall part includes a pair of edge parts facing each other with the opening therebetween and extending along a first direction, and a plurality of claw parts disposed at each of the pair of edge parts. The pair of edge parts is curved to the inside of the housing. The cover includes through holes disposed correspondingly to the claw parts. The claw part includes a base part protruding from the corresponding edge part and a holding part protruding from the base part along the first direction. The housing sandwiches and holds the cover between an edge part and the holding parts inserted into the through holes in a state where the cover is curved.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2022Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Yasuhiro Katsumata, Hitoshi Kodama, Yusuke Sugiura, Katsuyoshi Itahana, Kohji Matsuura, Yu Kobayashi, Yuki Miyoshi

Patent number: 10209525Abstract: A head-up display device includes a housing, a reflecting member, a projection light emitting unit, and a vibration transmitting member. The housing is fixed to a vehicle. The reflecting member is rotatably supported by the housing and is held at a rotation position. The projection light emitting unit projects projection light corresponding to information onto a window of the vehicle through the reflecting member. The vibration transmitting member is provided between the housing and the reflecting member and has elasticity. The vibration transmitting member is fixed to the housing and makes contact with the reflecting member in an elastically compressed state in an entire rotatable range of the reflecting member.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignees: YAZAKI CORPORATION, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hiroshi Aono, Jun Shihaku, Yasuhiro Katsumata, Akira Yamanaka, Tatsuya Saito, Kohji Matsuura, Toshiyuki Tsutsumi, Shin Funaki
