Patent number: 8275518Abstract: A target parking position setting section (23) is adapted to temporarily set a target parking position (p31, p32, p33) for the vehicle for each parking mode in a predetermined stop position. A parking mode determining section (25) is adapted to determine the parking mode and the target parking position corresponding to the parking mode based on an operation of a steering wheel performed by a driver after the target parking position (p31, p32, p33) is set. A guiding section (29) is adapted to guide the vehicle (1) to the determined target parking position (P3).Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2008Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignees: Aisin Seiki Kabushiki Kaisha, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuya Watanabe, Jun Kadowaki, Tsuyoshi Kuboyama, Yu Tanaka, Yoichi Iwata, Tetsunori Haraguchi, Masahiko Yanagihara

Patent number: 6065771Abstract: In order to reconcile the cleaving performance and the quality of appearance of an instrument panel for an bag, an instrument panel is provided having a skin member of a single layer structure, a cleaving section formed by a groove provided on the back of the skin member is composed of a longitudinal cleaving section which is substantially linear and a pair of "V " shaped lateral cleaving sections which are ramified respectively from both ends of the longitudinal cleaving section and which open forward and extend obliquely with respect to the direction of extension of the longitudinal cleaving section. Furthermore, where a skin member of a double-layered structure in which at least a cushion layer is disposed on the back of a skin layer, a door member is formed on the back of a skin member, in which a brittle section is created, as one body there with by injection-molding a resin material and a brittle section of the door member facing the brittle section of the skin member.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1998Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Toyo Tire & Rubber Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasushi Kawakubo, Takeshi Yamaji, Kazuhiko Yoshioka, Shiro Ozaki, Masahiko Yanagihara

Patent number: 5980379Abstract: A defroster nozzle is provided inside an instrument panel below a front glass plate, and its length in the direction of vehicle width is gradually increased from a suck-in opening to a blow-out opening. The suck-in opening is connected to an air conditioning unit, and has a bent portion at the middle thereof. The inside of the defroster nozzle is divided by partition walls into a central chamber and side chambers. The length of the central chamber as viewed in the direction of vehicle width is gradually increased from the suck-in opening to the blow-out opening, and the opening areas of the suck-in opening and the blow-out opening of the central chamber are equal to each other. The central portion of the side wall of each of the side chambers has a bent portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1998Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignees: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Minoru Shibata, Fumitake Kobayashi, Takahiro Komori, Masahiko Yanagihara, Hidekazu Otowa, Makoto Mimoto
