Abstract: A valet key storage device includes a valet key storage portion for storing a valet key on which an engaging portion is formed, a locking portion provided with a locking mechanism for locking an ejection of the valet key by engaging with the engaging portion of the valet key, a key cylinder conducting a release operation of the locking mechanism by a mechanical key, and a control section for controlling an unlocking operation of the locking portion based on a release operation of an immobilizing function and the key cylinder by the mechanical key.

Abstract: A shift lever apparatus includes a detent pin, and the distal end portion thereof is attached to a shift lever so as to be movable in the direction of coming into and out of contact with the shift lever. A lever guide is formed with a transition sliding surface on which the distal end of the detent pin slides along the operation of the shift lever on the back surface thereof. A gate portion is provided on the transition sliding surface, and limits the direction of movement of the detent pin in the direction practically matching the selecting direction by coming into contact with the distal end portion of the sliding detent pin. Accordingly, the direction of movement of the shift lever is limited only to the direction practically matching the selecting direction by a force transmitted from the gate portion via the detent pin when the shift lever passes through a transition guide groove.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a moldable sheet which maintains good moldability even in a case where the moldable sheet is kept at a low temperature and a low humidity. The moldable sheet comprises a porous material which a synthetic resin is coated on or impregnated into, the porous material being further impregnated with a water retention agent. The water retention agent in the porous material retains moisture in the porous material, maintaining the good moldability of the moldable sheet, even at a low temperature and a low humidity.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a fiber sheet or a molded fiber sheet having excellent flame retardancy A flame retardant fiber sheet containing a polyammonium phosphate with average degree of polymerization in the range of between 10 and 40 is provided in the present invention. The polyammonium phosphate is insoluble or sparingly soluble in water so that said polyammonium phosphate gives the fiber sheet excellent flame retardancy with water resistance and durability, and is also inexpensive. The molded fiber sheet is highly flame retardant and harmless, so that the molded fiber sheet is useful for automobile and building interiors.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a fiber sheet having good fire resistant property, an expanded synthetic resin sheet having good fire resistant property and a molded article thereof, and a fire resistant acoustic material for cars, which uses the molded article. To attain the object, in the present invention, fire retardant capsules are adhered to the fiber sheet or the expanded synthetic resin sheet to provide a porous fire resistant sheet. When the fire retardant capsules are exposed to a high temperature, the synthetic film covering the fire retardant may break, exposing fire retardant, and giving fiber sheet or expanded synthetic resin sheet self extinguishing property. A molded article of the porous fire resistant sheet also has a good fire resistant property, and does not inhibit the ventilation property of the fiber sheet and the synthetic resin sheet, making said molded article useful as a fire resistant acoustic material for cars or buildings.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a highly fire resistant fiber sheet and a molded fiber sheet thereof. The fibers of the fire resistant sheet of the present invention contain expandable graphite. When said expandable graphite is exposed to high temperatures, it will expand, giving self-extinguishing properties to said fiber sheet. Since said fire resistant molded fiber sheet is highly fire resistant and nontoxic to humans and animals, it is useful for car or building interiors, and the like.
