  • Patent number: 9409606
    Abstract: When a front pillar on a driver's seat side is deformed to a vehicle rear side due to short overlap collision on the driver's seat side of an automobile, an instrument panel reinforcement bridged between left and right front pillars is bent at a long hole serving as a starting point and provided on an outer side of a column bracket in a vehicle width direction. Due to this, a steering column, which is mounted on the instrument panel reinforcement through the column bracket, is restrained from being displaced due to a load from the front pillar.

  • Patent number: 4808355
    Abstract: For an injection molding machine a nozzle touch plate is provided which is slidable on a surface of a stationary plate opposite to the surface to which a metal mold is secured. The nozzle touch plate is brought to a position for preventing advancement of an injection nozzle into contact with the metal mold. In this position, the injection nozzle is brought into contact with the nozzle touch plate so that resin remaining in the injection cylinder is purged against the plate at the time of changing the type or color of the resin whereby the resin is prevented from being injected into the metal mold. After purging the nozzle touch plate is retracted to permit injection molding of new resin.
