Abstract: In a vehicle lower portion structure, a plurality of cross members are suspended along a vehicle width direction between a pair of side rails. Further, an oil pan guard is suspended along a longitudinal direction between a No. 2 cross member and a No. 3 cross member to protect an oil pan of a transmission from below. When a vehicle collides on its front, engagement between the oil pan guard and the cross member is released, to thereby prevent a decrease in the amount of collision energy to be absorbed by the pair of side rails.

Abstract: A fiber-processing apparatus includes a feed section feeding a dispersion containing liquid and a fibrous material which contains a polysaccharide as a main component and which is dispersed in the liquid and also includes an ejection section ejecting a fluid in which the concentration of the fibrous material is lower than that in the dispersion toward the fed dispersion to crush the fibrous material in the dispersion. The feed section preferably feeds the dispersion vertically downward. Furthermore, the ejection section preferably ejects the fluid downward rather than horizontally.

Abstract: A refueling retainer comprises a body portion of a tubular shape inserted into and arranged at a fueling-side end portion of an inlet pipe through which fuel is introduced to a fuel tank. The body portion comprises at a leading end portion thereof: a tapered portion, which is an inner peripheral surface of the leading end portion inclined radially inward toward a leading end of the body portion; and a claw portion that projects from the leading end of the body portion in an inwardly bent manner.

Abstract: An engaging member is formed by a binding member and a body member separate from the binding member being combined. The binding member has a belt portion that winds around an outer periphery of a wire routing material, and a buckle portion capable of fixing both ends of the belt portion. The body member includes, as an engaging portion for assembly into a vehicle body, a pillar portion to be inserted in a fixing hole of the vehicle body, and an elastic latch piece that is inserted, together with the pillar portion, in the fixing hole, is elastically deformed so as to approach the pillar portion when inserted, is elastically restored in the inserted state, is latched by and against a peripheral portion of the fixing hole. The pillar portion has a buckle storing portion in which the buckle portion is stored.

Abstract: A binding member includes a belt portion and a buckle portion. The buckle portion has a pillar-like shape that extends upward relative to a lower surface of the buckle portion, and has a belt insertion portion. The belt portion extends diagonally downward from a first side, in a left-right direction, of the buckle portion in the first side direction relative to the lower surface. The belt insertion portion penetrates through the buckle portion diagonally upward from a second side opposite to the first side, in the left-right direction, of the buckle portion toward the first side relative to the lower surface.

Abstract: An object is to provide an electronic control component bracket that is less likely to cause a high acceleration (high-speed vibration). An electronic control component bracket 1 includes a bottom portion on which a plurality of elastic pieces configured to press a lower surface of an electronic control component upward are provided, and abutting stop portions configured to abut, from above, against the electronic control component that is pressed upward. The plurality of elastic pieces are provided such that, when vertical vibration is applied in a state in which the electronic control component is assembled, the amplitude of at least one elastic piece is larger than that of another elastic piece.

Abstract: An object is to reduce sliding resistance when a bracket is assembled to a case, thereby improving assembly workability. In an assembly structure for assembling a bracket to a case, the case has opposed wall portions opposed to each other on the outer peripheral side surface thereof, and the bracket has a plate-shaped insertion portion to be inserted in a predetermined direction into an opposition clearance between the opposed wall portions, and three sliding projections protruding from both side surfaces of the insertion portion which are to be opposed to the opposed wall portions, so that the sliding projections slide on the opposed surfaces of the opposed wall portions at the time of the insertion. The sliding projections are provided so as to appear alternately, in the predetermined direction, on both side surfaces of the insertion portion.

Abstract: A wiring substrate at which a metal wire is formed includes a substrate containing a resin as a main component and an organic substance having a hydroxyl group; and a metal plating layer constituting the metal wire. A formation portion of the metal wire at one surface of the substrate is rougher than a non-formation portion of the metal wire at the one surface of the substrate, and has the organic substance in a state of being embedded in the resin, and a catalyst. The wiring substrate with such a configuration can increase the adhesion of the metal wire to the substrate.
