Patent number: 8079841Abstract: The invention provides a golf ball manufactured using a mold having a top half and a bottom half, which ball has formed on a surface thereof, near a seam line corresponding to a parting line between the top and bottom halves of the mold, a recessed and/or raised mark serving as an indicator for detecting the direction or position of the seam line. The invention also provides a golf ball mold composed of a top half and a bottom half that detachably join together so as to form therein a spherical cavity into which a material is injected to mold a golf ball, which mold bears, near a parting line between the top and bottom halves on a wall of the cavity, a raised or recessed feature for forming a mark as an indicator for detecting the direction or position of the parting line.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2010Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Bridgestone Sports Co., Ltd.Inventors: Michio Inoue, Hiroyuki Ono

Patent number: 8006997Abstract: An air bag device for pedestrian includes an inflator which discharges an inflating gas, in operation, and an air bag which is inflated with the inflating gas supplied from the inflator thereby to cover a front face of the front pillar. The air bag is contained in a folded state, in an area covered with the front fender panel which is positioned in front of a front pillar and outside of a vehicle along a lateral direction of a hood panel. The front fender panel includes a cover part which is positioned at its back edge close to the front pillar, and arranged so as to cover an upper part of the air bag in the folded state. The cover part is deformed and opened, when it is pressed with the air bag which is being inflated, thereby to protrude the air bag so that the air bag can cover the front face side of the front pillar.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2009Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Michio Inoue, Shigeyuki Suzuki

Patent number: 7976058Abstract: The occupant protection system includes a catching body that is housed in a housing located between a near-by seat and a distant seat for upward deployment and a support body that supports the catching body. The catching body covers the impact side of a distant-side occupant to catch the occupant moving toward the impacted lateral and includes a distal end acting as a free end swingable in a left and right direction. The support body is located on a side of the near-by seat close to the impacted lateral for deployment to support the catching body when the catching body swings toward the impacted lateral after receiving the distant-side occupant.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeyuki Suzuki, Takaki Fukuyama, Kenji Hayakawa, Tsukasa Sugiyama, Michio Inoue, Hirokazu Matsuura, Hajime Kitte, Takeki Hayashi, Masashi Aoki, Hitoshi Ida

Patent number: 7909359Abstract: A side airbag apparatus is provided with an inflator, and an airbag. The airbag is stored in a vehicle seat, is inflated and deployed by gas from the inflator, breaks the vehicle seat so as to jump out, and is inflated and deployed between a body side portion of a vehicle and the vehicle seat. In this side airbag apparatus, a controller predicts a side collision of the vehicle, and makes the inflator start an actuation in advance of the side collision in response to the prediction. Further, in the airbag inflated and deployed in accordance with the actuation start of the inflator, a deploying speed of the airbag is lowered in comparison with the deploying speed at a time of starting the actuation of the inflator after the side collision, at least outside the vehicle seat.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2008Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Michio Inoue, Takashi Naito, Yuji Sato, Daisuke Yamamura
