Patent number: 6871564Abstract: A control lever system for a parking brake includes a control lever for a parking brake attached to an interior equipment of a vehicle, the control lever moving between an operating position B and a releasing position A, and a recess provided for accommodating the control lever in the releasing position A. A releasing knob, operated for returning the control lever from the operating position B to the releasing position A, is disposed on a side face of a grip of the control lever, the side face corresponding to an opened face of the recess, so that the gap g between an inner wall of the recess and a head of the grip can be narrowed without being interfered with by the releasing knob.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2001Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masahiko Komatsubara, Masahiro Imamachi, Hiroshi Inakazu, Tsutomu Tomimitsu

Patent number: 6786307Abstract: A parking brake device which can not only better the safety, but also reduce the cost by simplifying the construction. A shock absorbing portion 35, 36 which resists an operating force in pulling a brake lever 30 toward the compartment and which is deformed by an impact force in the direction which is approximately opposite to the direction of pulling the brake lever 30 toward the compartment, absorbing the impact force is provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2002Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignees: Honda Giken Kogyo K.K., Otsuka Koki K.K.Inventors: Masahiko Komatsubara, Hiroki Ishikawa, Masahiro Imamachi, Satoru Masuda, Shingo Hori, Hiroshi Tsukamoto, Tomoya Sugiyama

Patent number: 4967871Abstract: A body-sensible acoustic device and an electromechanical vibration converter for use in the same. The body-sensible acoustic device includes frames forming the structure of a chair having a seat and a back, canvas members spread on the frame, and driver units driven by low-frequency audio signals for transmitting vibration to the canvas members. The canvas members are formed of a net of fibers covered with a foamed synthetic resin. The vibration converter includes a drive coil disposed in the air gap of a magnetic circuit, a coil bobbin transmitting motion of the drive coil to the outer case of the converter, and a damper supporting the magnetic circuit on the outer case. A guide hole is formed in the magnetic circuit at its center and extending in the direction of the acoustic axis. A coupling member is fitted in the guide hole having end portions coupled to the outer case.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1987Date of Patent: November 6, 1990Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventor: Masahiko Komatsubara

Patent number: 4675907Abstract: An electro-vibration transducer for converting sound signals into body-sensible acoustic vibrations to permit the listener to sense sound directly through his or her body and having a wide effective bandwidth and good transient response characteristic. An auxiliary vibrator, namely, a weight, is attached to a magnetic circuit of the transducer via an elastic member. The auxiliary vibrator can be attached to an outer annular surface of the magnetic circuit, or to a lower planar surface thereof. Preferably, the elastic member is made of a visco-elastic material.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1985Date of Patent: June 23, 1987Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Tadashi Itagaki, Hidehito Gomi, Masahiko Komatsubara
