  • Publication number: 20070207639
    Abstract: In an electric connection box 100, a soldering surface clearance 15 is formed at a lower side of a circuit board 10 for the purpose of protecting those portions of terminals 11a (of the relays 11) and terminals 3a (of a connector 3) which are soldered to a circuit formed on the circuit board 10. In this electric connection box 100, the connector 3 is disposed beside an end 10a of the circuit board 10, and the circuit board 10, the soldering surface clearance 15 and the relays 11 are disposed within the range of a height of the connector 3. In this electric connection box 100, a fixing bracket 4 is formed at an intermediate portion of a rear surface of the connector 3 in a direction of the height thereof, and is fixed to the circuit board 10. The rear surface of the connector 3 abuts against the end of the circuit board 10, and an upper surface cover 1 and a lower surface cover 2 abut respectively against upper and lower surfaces of the connector 3.

  • Patent number: 6731252
    Abstract: A display source unit for a display device in a vehicle is provided, by which the driver is not given a physical or mental oppressive feeling to his or her head upon getting on and off the vehicle. The display source unit 9, which irradiates a light of a display image containing instrument information on a combiner 7 situated in front of an eye point I so that the irradiated light can be seen as a virtual image S from the eye point I, is provided with a cover member 13 consisting of: a front cover body 15 putting an optical element 21 for image magnification thereonto; and a rear cover body 17 hinged to the front cover body 15 with receiving a display device 23 therein. The cover member 13 is folded, thereby the light of the display image displayed on a display surface 23a of the display device 23 is reflected on a reflector 25 disposed in the cover member 13 to the optical element 21, passes through the optical element 21, and goes toward the eye point I after being reflected by the combiner 7.

  • Patent number: 6618203
    Abstract: In the developed state of the combiner 13, the first arm 19 extends along a vertical line passing the center of gravity G of the combiner 13, and the second arm 21 and the third arm 23 are aligned on and extended along a line which couples the rear end of the base member 17 and the other end 19b of the first arm 19 and tilts from the vertical direction toward the horizontal direction so that the combiner 13 is arranged in front of the eye point I at a tilting angle of reflecting the image light of the displayed image emitted from the display device of the projector unit 9 toward the eye point I of the driver 3. In such a configuration, the virtual image of the displayed image on the combiner which is to be visually recognized from the eye point can be visually recognized stable with no shaking in a vehicle which is susceptible to the vibration from the road face.

  • Patent number: 6532113
    Abstract: A display device for use in a vehicle is provided, by which an image for superposition displayed on a display source is projected on a windshield of a vehicle so that the foreground of the vehicle and a virtual image of the image for superposition are accurately seen together even when a seat position and a physique of a driver change and when a shape of the windshield changes. A light of inverse image for superposition displayed on a display surface 5a of a display unit 5 in a dashboard 1 in a vehicle is projected on a windshield 3 so that the driver sees the foreground visible through the windshield 3 together with a virtual image of the inverse image for superposition reflected on the windshield 3 in front of an eye point I, that is, a virtual image of the original image for superposition.
