Abstract: A ventilator includes a first louver, second louvers, side walls, a first inclined member, and a convex part. The first inclined member is inclined so that an opening area widens from the upstream side to a downstream side. The first inclined member has a vertex of inclination in a cross-sectional view that is positioned at the upstream side. The convex part is arranged adjacent at the upstream side in the airflow direction to the vertex. In a maximum angle state in which the first louver is rotated so that an upstream end part of the first louver is closest to the first inclined member, the upstream end part is positioned further to the downstream side in the airflow direction than the vertex. The convex part projects further to an inside of the flow path than the vertex, and extends across the second louvers when seen along the airflow direction.

Abstract: A lid lock structure of a storing box for a vehicle includes an elongated sliding hole formed in an arm portion for rotatably connecting a lid to a box main body. A slide restraining device, when force (F5) acts in a sliding direction on a slider configured to be slidable along the elongated sliding hole, restrains the slider from sliding if the magnitude of the force (F5) is not larger than a predetermined value, and releases the slider from the restrained state if the magnitude of the force (F5) is larger than the predetermined value. A twist spring causes the slider to quickly slide from an end portion R side to an end portion L side of the elongated sliding hole when the slider is released from the restrained state; and a stopper portion restrains an arm portion from rotating in a direction in which the lid opens, by locking the slider when the slider is located in the end portion L side of the elongated sliding hole.

Abstract: A container securing device includes a housing portion, with a cylindrical shape, the top of which is open, and which is intended to house a beverage container. A flap is positioned within a hole that is formed within a surrounding wall of the housing portion, and is installed so as to be capable of moving either out of the housing portion, or into the housing portion, in response to the container being inserted into, or extracted from, the housing portion. An impelling (biasing) component forces the flap toward the interior direction of the housing unit. The flap is capable of moving to a location that secures the container when the container is fully housed within the housing portion.
