Patent number: 10882481Abstract: A bumper fastening structure fastens a front bumper, via a retainer, to a front fender. A retainer includes a body and a fixing catch that is to be fitted in a fitting hole of a fender flange. The body includes a pair of clamp walls clamping a bumper flange. At least one of the clamp walls has an inner face that is a slope face, so that a wedge-shape space is formed. The bumper flange includes a wedge-shape portion corresponding to the wedge-shape space, the wedge-shape portion having a thickness which increases toward a second through hole. The bumper fastening structure further includes a screw that tightens the clamp walls and the bumper flange together.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, NIFCO INC.Inventor: Naofumi Yagame

Patent number: 10259295Abstract: The present invention discloses a winding device that includes a screen, a shaft portion to which one end of the screen is fastened, a rotary shaft member that fits to an end portion of the shaft portion so that the rotary shaft member is rotated around a rotation axis along an axial direction of the shaft portion, and a biasing portion that biases the rotary shaft member in a rotation direction for winding the screen. A relative rotation restriction structure and a movement restriction structure are formed on a fitting portion between the shaft portion and the rotary shaft member. The relative rotation restriction structure restricts a relative rotation of the shaft portion with respect to the rotary shaft member. The movement restriction structure restricts a movement of the shaft portion in the axial direction with respect to the rotary shaft member.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignees: HAYASHI TELEMPU Co., Ltd., NIFCO INC.Inventors: Keisuke Watanabe, Toshiya Nishiura, Yoshihiro Tsuchimoto, Naofumi Yagame

Patent number: 9452663Abstract: The present invention discloses a shading device includes a screen, a shaft portion having a lock portion to be locked, a biasing mechanism, a locking member that is engaged at a lock position with the lock portion, and a housing in which the end portion of the shaft portion is inserted. The housing has a sliding guide portion in which the locking member is slid. The sliding guide portion is capable of guiding the locking member in a direction passing through the lock position and a lock release position, and has a lock position engagement portion for stopping the locking member from sliding at the lock position. The locking member includes a slide engagement portion that engages with the lock position engagement portion at the lock position and an operating portion that can be flexed to release the slide engagement portion from the lock position engagement portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2015Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignees: HAYASHI TELEMPU Co., Ltd., NIFCO INC.Inventors: Keisuke Watanabe, Toshiya Nishiura, Yoshihiro Tsuchimoto, Naofumi Yagame
