Patent number: 11919369Abstract: In a vehicle, a flow adjusting plate is placed along an upper edge part of a front windshield, so that the flow of wind flowing along an inner surface of the front windshield is adjustable by the flow adjusting plate. Further, the angle of the flow adjusting plate from the inner surface is adjustable, so that the flow adjusting plate allows the direction of the wind flowing along the inner surface to be directed toward a seat placed behind an instrument panel in the vehicle front-rear direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Madoka Doi

Patent number: 11648820Abstract: A vehicle instrument panel structure is provided including a blower outlet and a guide member. The blower outlet is provided between a meter section on an instrument panel provided at a front section of a vehicle cabin and an interior member of a vehicle door, and is capable of blowing an airflow substantially toward a vehicle rear side. The guide member is provided at the vehicle rear side of the blower outlet so as to block the blower outlet from view of an occupant sitting in a vehicle seat provided inside the vehicle cabin, and extends at an angle toward the vehicle rear side on progression from a location corresponding to the blower outlet toward a vehicle width direction outer side.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2019Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Madoka Doi

Patent number: 11318704Abstract: A vehicle interior material that is manufactured at by bonding a base member and a surface member with each other without using an adhesive agent or an adhesive film, that is light in weight and that has adhesive strength and abrasion resistance. The base member includes a natural fiber or a glass fiber and a first thermoplastic resin fiber and has a density of 0.2 to 0.7 g/cm3 The surface member includes a second thermoplastic resin fiber and a low melting point resin fiber and that has a weight per unit area of 50 to 500 g/m2. The surface member is laid on a surface of the base member. An entangled layer where the second thermoplastic resin fiber enters texture of the base member to be entangled with the first thermoplastic resin fiber is provided at an interface between the base member and the surface member.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignees: TAKEHIRO CO., LTD., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, TOYOTA BOSHOKU KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Koji Inoue, Seiji Sugiura, Madoka Doi, Hideki Kawashiri, Tokuyoshi Shimizu
