Patent number: 10584799Abstract: In a pressure reduction valve device, a valve body and a distal end portion of a support member are accommodated in a valve accommodation hole of a body. The distal end portion is inserted through an urging member accommodation hole. An inner introduction passage is formed between an outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion and an inner peripheral surface of the urging member accommodation hole. An outer introduction passage is formed between an outer surface of the valve body and an inner surface of the valve accommodation hole. The support member is provided with communication holes that establish communication between a gas inlet provided through the body and the valve accommodation hole in an axial direction. The inner introduction passage and the outer introduction passage are opposed, in an axial direction thereof, to the communication passage.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignees: JTEKT CORPORATION, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Toshikatsu Kubo, Masayuki Sekine, Akira Nakano, Shota Yamamoto, Yutaka Hotta, Akira Yamashita

Publication number: 20140087144Abstract: A curved resin molded product. The resin molded product is provided to include: a pair of resin films defining first and second main surfaces, the first and second main surfaces being different in curvature from each other; and a resin base member disposed between the resin films. In the resin molded product, one of the resin films, which is on the side of a relatively larger curvature of the first and second main surfaces, has a thermal shrinkage larger than that of the other of the resin films which is on the side of a relatively smaller curvature.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2013Publication date: March 27, 2014Applicant: NIHON PLAST CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuyuki ENDO, Masayuki SEKINE

Patent number: 8006706Abstract: A vanity case is provided in which a first hinge piece and a second hinge piece are formed in one of the case body and the lid, and a hinge block is formed in the other one of the case body and the lid and arranged between the first and the second hinge pieces. A friction member is provided to brake the rotational speed of the lid caused by a torsion spring. A protrusion is provided for braking the rotational speed of the lid by sliding contact. A recessed circumferential portion is formed in the vanity case so as to release the sliding contact of the braking protrusion at least at the closed position of the lid.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2008Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Yoshida Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masayuki Sekine

Patent number: 6601807Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure of a thermal shield for an oil pump which makes it possible to securely mount the thermal shield at one point with high reliability and at a low cost. To achieve this object, a thermal shield for preventing radiant heat from an exhaust pipe from being transmitted to an oil pump is securely clamped to a support plate portion of a bracket which is disposed contiguous to the thermal shield. The thermal shield and the bracket are provided with an engaging protrusion portion and a positioning hole respectively. The thermal shield and the bracket are positioned through engagement of the engaging protrusion portion with the positioning hole.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2000Date of Patent: August 5, 2003Assignee: Toyoda Koki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigemi Takahashi, Takashi Imanishi, Masayuki Sekine, Shuji Nakamura, Yoshihisa Kato

Patent number: 5922042Abstract: An on-board automobile navigation system provides route guidance instructions to a user. The system detects a power-down of the vehicle and, in response, determines whether to resume route guidance in response to the next start-up of the vehicle. This determination is made prior to powering down the system. The determination is based on the current position of the vehicle and the computed route. If a determination was made to resume guidance after start-up, the selected destination and the computed route are saved in memory before powering down the system. If a determination was made to resume guidance, then in response to the next start-up of the vehicle, the selected destination and the computed route of the vehicle are recalled from memory, and route guidance is resumed from the current position of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1996Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: Visteon Technologies, LLCInventors: Masayuki Sekine, Toshikazu Sakakibara

Patent number: 5832408Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a destination in a vehicle navigation system are described. The vehicle navigation system includes a display and a selection control. A first destination is selected from a primary list of destinations in response to a selection signal generated by the selection control. The first destination is placed on a secondary list of destinations in response to its selection. The secondary list includes previously selected destinations from the primary list. For subsequent destination selections, the primary and secondary lists are presented on the display thereby facilitating selection of destinations from both the primary and secondary lists. A feature by which the system may search for a destination across categories is also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1997Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Zexel CorporationInventors: Haruhisa Tamai, Hiroshi Nonaka, Masayuki Sekine
