Patent number: 10974678Abstract: An instrument panel structure includes: a base material that has both end portions in the longitudinal direction bent toward the lower face side to form a side face portion; a foamed material that covers a surface of the base material; and a skin that covers a surface of the foamed material. The instrument panel structure also includes a sealing rib that protrudes outward in the longitudinal direction from the side face portion in an arrangement position spaced apart by a predetermined gap toward the lower face side from a bent position of the base material, and to which an end portion of the skin is joined. The instrument panel structure also includes a widening rib that protrudes outward in the longitudinal direction from the side face portion on an upper face side of the arrangement position of the sealing rib on the side face portion, and is covered with the foamed material.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Manami Nakamura

Patent number: 10899281Abstract: A backing section is adjacently disposed in front, in a front-and-rear direction of the vehicle, of an upper portion of a door section of a glove box, and inhibits the door section from moving further forward from a position at a time of the glove box being in a closed state. A reinforcing bead for enhancing rigidity is formed on a contact surface of the backing section with the door section. When a vehicle comes into a frontal collision, and knees K of a passenger collide with the backing section, the backing section becomes difficult to deform. If the backing section does not deform, a reaction force from the backing section is transmitted to the knees K via the door section, and forward movement of the knees K is restrained.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yasunobu Yamazaki, Manami Nakamura

Patent number: 6418103Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus for initializing an optical recording medium to be initialized with stability and ease without employing any focus servo means, and a phase-changing optical recording medium initialized by the initializing apparatus to have a recording layer in a uniform crystalline state over an entire area of the medium which takes part in recording and reproduction of an information signal. In the apparatus for initializing a phase-changing optical recording medium, a laser beam emitted from a laser beam source is irradiated to a recording layer, in an amorphous state, formed in an optical recording medium to be initialized, which is a pre-stage member of the phase-changing optical recording medium, for changing the recording layer into a crystalline state. The laser beam source, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1999Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kazumine Ito, Manami Nakamura, Osamu Kawakubo, Hiroshi Kawase
