Patent number: 10399465Abstract: A seat cushion adjuster in one aspect of the present disclosure comprises at least one bracket, at least one slider, at least one first interposing member, and at least one second interposing member. The slider is inserted into an inner hollow portion of the bracket. The slider comprises a base plate part of a plate shape and a pair of raised parts. The pair of raised parts is raised from a pair of ends of the base plate part so as to be raised with respect to one surface of the base plate part. The first interposing member is disposed between an inner wall of the bracket and the slider. The second interposing member is disposed between the inner wall of the bracket and the slider so as to face the first interposing member.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: TOYOTA BOSHOKU KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masaharu Nakamura, Jueru Shimizu, Masayuki Kanehira

Patent number: 9597980Abstract: A conveyance seat includes: a pair of lower rails; a pair of upper rails, each of which is slidably assembled to the corresponding lower rail; an electric drive mechanism; a pair of brackets, each of which is assembled to an upper surface of the corresponding upper rail; and a pair of buffer members, each of which is arranged between the upper surface of the upper rail and the bracket. The electric drive mechanism includes a drive source fastened to one of the brackets; a shaft; a pair of screws assembled one to each rail of the lower rails or the upper rails; a pair of nuts; and a pair of gear subassemblies. The electric drive mechanism electrically slides each upper rail with respect the corresponding lower rail by the screw moving relative to the nut or by the nut moving relative to the screw, by rotation of the shaft when the drive source is driven.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: TOYOTA BOSHOKU KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kentarou Morishita, Keiichi Kondou, Tomohiro Enokijima, Hideyoshi Kishida, Masayuki Kanehira, Eiichiro Tsuji

Patent number: 7223018Abstract: A biaxial linear-revolving guide unit is disclosed, which is comprised of a pair of linear motion guide units each composed of a guide rail and a slider fit over the guide rail, and a revolving bearing installed between the linear motion guide units to joint them for revolving movement relative to one another. The revolving bearing is composed of an outer ring, an inner ring and rolling elements. The inner ring is joined directly to the slider of any one linear motion guide unit while the outer ring is joined directly to the other linear motion guide unit. A table system compact in construction is provided, in which more than one the biaxial linear-revolving guide unit is installed between a moving table and a stationary bed.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2004Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Nippon Thompson Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masayuki Kanehira
