Abstract: A wind redirecting and environmentally sealing gasket for use with a handle actuating mechanism associated with a vehicle door. The gasket includes a main body located over an aperture defined perimeter in the vehicle door and which is secured by a portion of the handle mechanism. A non-linear and generally three-dimensional tongue shaped portion extends from the body at a junction defined between an extending portion of the handle and the door. The tongue portion is impinged by air flow resulting from movement of a vehicle and, as a result, is redirected about the body and away from the handle and perimeter defined aperture in the vehicle's sheet metal. An engaging portion extends separately from the tongue and contacts a perimeter defining edge location of the metal.

Since the first electric motor (20) and the second electric motor (23) are disposed adjacently to each other, partial cases for storing these first and second electric motors (20) and (23) may be combined, thus facilitating the accommodation for producing the unit in series.

Abstract: A printing paper winding device for enabling winding of printing paper even paper with a base material having a low resistance to bending stresses or printing paper having RFID labels carrying IC chips. Bending stresses are reduced by dividing the movement region of the tension roller into four regions in order to enable the successive detection of the position or posture of the tension roller and by making the bending angle of the printing paper in the winding path close to a more obtuse angle. A winding control unit of the present invention determines whether the tension region where the tension roller is positioned is a first tension region, second tension region, third tension region, or fourth tension region, controls the drive unit to limit the tension roller to a tension region in which winding is possible in the direction such that the bending angle of the printing paper in the winding path, which follows the winding of the printing paper, is close to a more obtuse angle.
