Patent number: 7621362Abstract: Sliding of a seat or reclining of a seat back can be disabled, except when a rider intends to slide the seat or recline the seat back. The motion of an auxiliary bar which permits sliding of a seat is inhibited by an interlocking lock member. An operating piece cannot be raised and hence it is impossible to slide the seat. An engine key is inserted into a first lock mechanism and is turned, causing the interlocking lock member to slide up to a position permitting operation of the operating piece. In addition, a lever of a second lock mechanism faces a reclining lever, so that the reclining lever cannot turn clockwise around a rivet bolt and a pawl remains engaged with any of first to third recesses. If the lever of the second lock mechanism is turned, the reclining lever can be pulled to release the reclining locked condition.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2005Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masao Ogawa, Shunichi Nakabayashi, Koji Shiraishi

Patent number: 7571690Abstract: A printable embroidery machine includes a sewing machine body, a cloth holding frame holding a workpiece cloth, a frame drive unit which has a mounting part and to which the cloth holding frame is coupled so that the cloth holding frame is moved independently in two horizontal directions perpendicular to each other, and an ink-jet printer. The body or the printer is detachably attached to the mounting part of the frame drive unit separated from the body so that the workpiece cloth held on the cloth holding frame moved by the frame drive unit is printed by the printer. A predetermined sewing reference position of a sewing needle in attaching the body to the frame drive unit corresponds with a predetermined print reference position of a print head of the printer in a case where the printer is attached to the frame drive unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2005Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masao Ogawa, Hiroshi Kitazawa
