  • Publication number: 20240408964
    Abstract: An instrument panel includes a groove extending in a direction intersecting with a vehicle width direction and provided on one side of an opening of the instrument panel in the vehicle width direction, at a position offset from the opening in the vehicle width direction, and a first stepped portion and a second stepped portion that are configured to restrain liquid from flowing toward the opening in a case where the liquid flows into the groove and overflows the groove. In this configuration, since dripping of the liquid to an inside of the instrument panel is suppressed, the dripping of the liquid onto target components disposed below the opening is suppressed, without a need to provide a liquid shielding plate or a drip-proof sheet.

  • Publication number: 20240128733
    Abstract: An attachment structure of a flat wire harness includes: an attachment target member; a flat wire harness; and an attachment part. In the flat wire harness, a through hole is formed in a part of a base material where a plurality of electrical wires are not disposed. The attachment part includes a rod-like part passing through the through hole, a fixing part provided to a first end portion of the rod-like part to fix the rod-like part to the attachment target member, and a retaining part provided to a second end portion of the rod-like part to prevent the rod-like part from coming out of the through hole. An outer size of the retaining part is larger than a dimension of the through hole, and the dimension of the through hole is equal to or larger than a thickness of the rod-like part.

  • Patent number: 11377047
    Abstract: A cover member includes: a main body; and a binding member. The main body includes, when viewed from the axial direction, a base area, a first overlap area located on one side, and a second overlap area located on the other side with the base area interposed therebetween. The first overlap area includes a first end part out of the main-body both end parts. The second overlap area includes a second end part out of the main-body both end parts. The base area is formed to be able to change an overlap amount of the first overlap area and the second overlap area. The main-body both end parts are formed from one opening part to the other opening part out of a pair of opening parts that communicate an inside space with the outside.

  • Patent number: 10065436
    Abstract: A printer includes a first controller to cause a primer discharge head to discharge, from its nozzle, primer onto a recording medium and then cause a first ultraviolet light applicator to apply ultraviolet light to the primer, thus forming a first primer layer on the recording medium; a second controller to cause the primer discharge head to discharge, from its nozzle, the primer onto the first primer layer and the recording medium and then cause a second ultraviolet light applicator to apply ultraviolet light to the primer, thus forming a second primer layer on the first primer layer and the recording medium; and a third controller to cause an ink discharge head to discharge, from its nozzle, image-forming ink onto the second primer layer and then cause the first ultraviolet light applicator to apply ultraviolet light to the image-forming ink, thus forming an ink layer on the second primer layer.

  • Patent number: 7321286
    Abstract: In order to readily remove a fusible link fastened by a bolt from an electrical junction box, an electrical junction box includes a bus bar made of an electrical conductive metallic plate and that has an input terminal section, a plurality of output terminal sections, narrow fusible portions interposed between the input and output terminal sections. The junction box further includes a fusible link embedding the bus bar in molded resin integrally, a body casing containing the fusible link, and a press fitting terminal coupled to an end of an electrical power source cable. The press fitting terminal is connected to the input terminal section by a bolt. A bolt-joining portion between the input terminal section and the press terminal is disposed on a position higher than an upper surface of the body casing or a position opposite to an cutout provided in the body casing. A bolt-handling space for fastening or releasing a bolt is defined at a position opposite to the bolt-joining portion.
