  • Publication number: 20240109610
    Abstract: A movable spoiler device is provided. The movable spoiler device includes: a fixed part, fixed on a body of a vehicle; a movable part, movable between a storage position and a deployed position; an actuator, disposed on the fixed part and drives the movable part to move in a front-rear direction; a rotating frame, connected to the actuator and rotates synchronously with the actuator; a connecting member, connected to the rotating frame and the movable part; and a locking member, disposed between the actuator and the rotating frame, applies force to the actuator through an elastic member, and is locked on the rotating frame, wherein, when the movable part is in the deployed position and is subjected to a load applied from the rear, the rotating frame is rotated by pushing the locking member against the elastic member to release the fitting of the locking member.

  • Patent number: 11203313
    Abstract: A sensor attachment structure in which a sensor bracket that holds a sensor configured to detect an external world of a moving body is attached to an exterior member of the moving body and a structure member of the moving body, comprises: a first absorption mechanism configured to hold the sensor bracket such that the sensor bracket can retreat from an initial position of the sensor bracket in a state in which an external load does not act along a front-and-rear direction of the moving body in response to action of the external load; and a second absorption mechanism configured to hold the sensor bracket such that the sensor bracket can swing from the initial position in response to the action of the external load, while being held by the first absorption mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8231091
    Abstract: Provided is a clip that allows two securing members to be firmly joined to each other without requiring a special working process to the applied to either one of the securing members. The clip for securing joining a first securing member to a second securing member comprises a base plate portion formed with a through hole, a first clamping piece extending from the base plate portion in a front side direction, and a second clamping piece extending from a part of the base plate portion intermediate between the first clamping piece and through hole in the front side direction and further extending above the through hole. A threaded member is passed into the through hole from a back side of the base plate portion to fixedly attach the second securing member to the back side of the base plate portion.
