  • Patent number: 10280967
    Abstract: The fixing structure includes an installation portion having an installation hole into which an installation bolt provided in a chassis is inserted, and a spacer supported movably in horizontal directions perpendicular to an axial direction of the installation bolt inside the installation portion in a non-fastened state between the installation bolt and the nut. The spacer has a collar portion that is placed between an inner circumferential surface of the installation hole and an outer circumferential surface of the installation bolt and makes contact with the chassis and the washer in the axial direction of the installation bolt in a fastened state between the installation bolt and the nut, and a flange portion formed to protrude outward from the outer circumference of the collar portion and supported movably in the horizontal directions in a non-fastened state. The flange portion is fixed inside the installation portion in the fastened state.

  • Patent number: 10199813
    Abstract: A fixing structure includes an attaching portion, a nut, and a spacer. The attaching portion has an attaching hole through which an attaching bolt provided to a vehicle body is inserted. The nut fixes the attaching portion to the vehicle body by being tightened to the attaching bolt with a washer interposed between the nut and the attaching portion. The spacer is disposed between an inner circumferential surface of the attaching hole and an outer circumferential surface of the attaching bolt, and is in contact with the vehicle body and the washer in an axial direction of the attaching bolt in a state where the attaching bolt and the nut are tightened. The spacer has an opening on a cylindrical side surface thereof and is capable of rotating around the axial direction of the attaching bolt in a state where the attaching bolt is inserted into the opening.

  • Patent number: 10153630
    Abstract: An exterior end portion cap is configured to be attached to an electrically conductive path and an exterior member. The exterior end portion cap includes an external exposure portion having a first blocking portion, an internal insertion portion having a second block portion, and an electrically conductive path housing recess portion formed to extend across the external exposure portion and the internal insertion portion. The first blocking portion has a planar portion configured to abut against the exterior member. The second blocking portion has holding piece portions that are deformable to wind around the electrically conductive path circumferentially. The electrically conductive path housing recess portion is formed into a concave portion that is so deep that a part of an outer surface of the electrically conductive path is pressed against an inner surface of the exterior member.
