Publication number: 20230242184Abstract: In a deflector device, a magnet is rotated when a deflector body is rotated, and a magnetic sensor also detects a rotational position of the magnet. Moreover, an interior of a housing body is partitioned by a motor base into a vehicle width direction outside of the interior and a vehicle width direction inside of the interior, with the magnet housed on the vehicle width direction outside of the interior of the housing body. The magnetic sensor is housed on the vehicle width direction inside of the interior of the housing body. This accordingly enables foreign matter ingression from the vehicle width direction outside of the interior of the housing body into the vehicle width direction inside thereof to be suppressed by the motor base, enabling foreign matter to be suppressed from reaching the magnetic sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Kazuyuki YOKOYAMA, Masahide INAYAMA, Daisuke NAKAYAMA, Nobuhiro KUDO, Toshiya ITO, Kazunori TANAKA

Publication number: 20230242192Abstract: In a deflector device, a deflector body is rotated with respect to a case. A restriction plate of the case covers a divide between the deflector body and the case. Foreign matter is accordingly suppressed from ingression between the deflector body and the case by the restriction plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Kazuyuki YOKOYAMA, Masahide INAYAMA, Daisuke NAKAYAMA, Nobuhiro KUDO, Toshiya ITO, Kazunori TANAKA

Patent number: 10277784Abstract: In an imaging device, a bracket and a camera are capable of rotating with respect to a base, and harnesses are routed inside an inner supporting tube of the base. A covering frame of a harness cover covers an upper end portion of the inner supporting tube, the harness is abutted on the covering frame, and the covering frame is capable of rotating integrally with the bracket. This enables the harnesses to be suppressed from sliding on the covering frame and enables load input to the harnesses to be suppressed when the bracket is rotated, even though the harness is press-contacted to the covering frame.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI-RIKA-DENKI-SEISAKUSHOInventors: Masahide Inayama, Toshinari Nakai

Patent number: 10150427Abstract: In an imaging device, a stay is supported at a side door of a vehicle, and a camera module is attached to a camera cover. The stay and the camera cover are integrally molded together. This enables a simple configuration.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignees: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI-RIKA-DENKI-SEISAKUSHO, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Toshinari Nakai, Masahide Inayama, Tomonori Ichikawa, Masashi Hanazato

Publication number: 20160334619Abstract: In an imaging device, a camera images an image through a lens. Moreover, a heat transfer member transfers heat to the lens, and heats the lens. Here, the lens is exposed to the exterior of the imaging device through an exposing hole of the heat transfer member and an opening of the design cover. Thus, a larger amount of light can be made incident to the imaging element.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: Toshinari NAKAI, Masahide INAYAMA, Masakazu IWATSUKI

Patent number: 6595576Abstract: A housing for a member disposed at a vehicle exterior is formed by assembling a plurality of parts substantially in a vehicle longitudinal direction. At a matching portion when the plurality of parts are assembled together substantially in the vehicle longitudinal direction, a housing outer side end portion of a matching surface substantially at a vehicle frontward side is displaced further outward than a housing outer side end portion of a matching surface substantially at a vehicle rearward side. Or, the housing outer side end portion of the matching surface substantially at the vehicle rearward side may have a curved surface or a flat surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Toshinobu Mizutani, Kiyohide Imaeda, Yoshio Ohashi, Masakazu Aoki, Masaaki Ito, Wataru Horio, Masahide Inayama, Tadayoshi Kato

Patent number: 6481863Abstract: In a door mirror in accordance with the present invention, at a connecting portion near a driver's seat or a passenger seat, an opposing portion which is a boundary between the connecting portion and a lid is exposed on the surface of a visor at a side toward the substantial rear of a vehicle. Therefore, even if steps are formed at the opposing portion and slight irregularities are thereby formed on the surface of the visor, air flow does not flow over the opposing portion, or orientation of air flow is not rapidly changed or turbulence is not generated over or below the opposing portion. In this way, noise such as wind noise generated near the connecting portion can be reduced or eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2001Date of Patent: November 19, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Wataru Horio, Tadashi Ejiri, Toshinobu Mizutani, Tadayoshi Kato, Masahide Inayama
