Abstract: A vehicle camera unit includes: a back camera mounted to a rear part of a vehicle, to take an image rearward; a garnish member provided rearward of the back camera; and a body-side member provided upward of the garnish member. The back camera has a rearward-directed lens. The garnish member includes a transmitting portion which is a half mirror and covering the lens at least from a rear side, and a design portion provided upward of the transmitting portion and covering a lower part of the back camera from a rear upper side. The design portion is a half mirror or has a smaller visible light transmittance than the transmitting portion. The body-side member has, at a lower end, a recessed attachment portion having a groove shape that opens rearward. The design portion has, at an upper end, a projecting attachment portion entering into the recessed attachment portion.

Abstract: A grill shutter device includes an opening portion positioned in a vehicle front portion, a fin configured to open and close the opening portion, and a frame configured to hold the fin. The frame has an inner frame and an outer frame. The inner frame has a rear side air introduction port open toward the cooling object device. The outer frame has a front side air introduction port positioned in front of the inner frame and open toward the rear side air introduction port at a position corresponding to the opening portion. The inner frame has a first wall portion covering the fin from a vehicle rear side in an open state where the fin opens the opening portion. The outer frame has a second wall portion covering the fin from the vehicle front side in the open state where the fin opens the opening portion.

Abstract: A grille shutter device selectively opening and closing a grille opening in the front grille of a vehicle. The grille shutter device includes a fin, a motor, a transmission mechanism, a first switch, and a second switch. The fin has a support shaft, which is rotatably supported by the front grille. When supplied with electricity, the motor rotates its output shaft in one direction. The transmission mechanism converts the rotation of the output shaft to a swinging motion of the fin, thereby swinging the fin between a closed position, where the fin closes the grille opening, and an open position, where the fin opens the grille opening. When the fin is swung to the closed position, the first switch stops the motor. When the fin is swung to the open position, the second switch stops the motor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a grille shutter device for selectively opening and closing a grille opening in the front grille of a vehicle. The grille shutter device includes at least one fin, a motor, a transmission mechanism, a first switch, and a second switch. The fin has a support shaft, which is rotatably supported by the front grille. The motor has an output shaft. When supplied with electricity, the motor rotates the output shaft in one direction. The transmission mechanism converts the rotation of the output shaft to a swinging motion of the fin, thereby swinging the fin between a closed position, where the fin closes the grille opening, and an open position, where the fin opens the grille opening. When the fin is swung to the closed position, the first switch stops the motor. When the fin is swung to the open position, the second switch stops the motor.

Abstract: A split-opening portion is formed by two transverse breakable portions that extend substantially along the transverse direction of a vehicle, two front-rear breakable portions that extend substantially along the front-rear direction of the vehicle and are connected to the transverse breakable portions, and a middle breakable portion that is located between the two transverse breakable portions and extends substantially along the transverse direction of the vehicle. The middle breakable portion is connected to the front-rear breakable portions. In a front passenger seat airbag apparatus, the split-opening portion is broken by pressing force of an inflated airbag so that door portions are separated from the door adjacent portion, and the door support portions are pivoted together with the door portions about hinge portions serving as fulcrums.

Abstract: A front door 20 includes a first door component 22 and a second door component 34. The first door component 22 forms an inner side portion of a door main body 21, and the second door component forms an inner side portion of the door main body 21 and has functional parts located inside the vehicle. The first and second door components 22, 34 have honeycomb structural bodies 23, 41, respectively. The honeycomb structural bodies 23, 41 are entirely formed of synthetic resin. The honeycomb structural bodies 23, 41 include honeycomb portions 24, 42, which are composed of numerous tubular cells 26, 44, 45 separated by partition walls 25, 43, and sealing plate portions 27, 28, 46, 47 that are located on the outer side and the inner side of the honeycomb portions 24, 42 and seal the cells 26, 44. The door components 22, 34 are joined to each other at least at a part of the adjacent sealing plate portions 28, 46 of the honeycomb structural bodies 23, 41.

Abstract: The present invention provides a shock absorbing member which includes a pair of opposing plates and a plurality of resin tubes internally filled with a viscous body. Both end surfaces of the resin tubes are closed by the pair of the plates. The each resin tube is disposed between the pair of the plates and is surrounded by a space not filled with the viscous body. When a shock in a direction of bringing the pair of the plates closer to each other is applied, the resin tube is buckled toward the surrounding space and the viscous body leaks out from a crack generated in the resin tube by the buckling to absorb the shock.
