Patent number: 9469243Abstract: A lighting device includes a light source, an elongated light guide member, an elongated decoration member, and a cover covering the light guide member. The decoration member includes a recess having a space to have the light guide member therein, and a linear transmissive portion. The recess has a guide member projecting toward the space and being in contact with the light guide member to guide the light guide member to a correct position. The cover covers the light guide member from the rear side and has a facing surface and a stopper extending from the facing surface toward the space and supporting the light guide member provisionally. The guide member guides the light guide member that is provisionally supported by the stopper of the cover to the correct position when the light guide member supported by the stopper of the cover is arranged in the recess.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: TOYOTA BOSHOKU KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Naomi Omura, Masanori Sekiya

Patent number: 5919056Abstract: A housing of a female connector has an accommodating space, an opening, and lock stoppers. The accommodating space retains a mating connector, and accommodates a slide lock member and a resilient member. The accommodating space is arranged close to a terminal accommodating chamber so as to be slidable in an engaging direction, the terminal accommodating chamber allowing a connecting terminal to be inserted thereinto. The slide lock member is biased during disengaging operation. The opening is arranged on part of the accommodating space and causes part of the slide lock member to be exposed. The lock stopper is arranged on a side surfaces of the accommodating space and suppresses movement of the mating connector. The slide lock member has a flexible disengaging arm that has a separating projection. The separating projection is pressed during the disengaging operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1996Date of Patent: July 6, 1999Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Etsuro Suzuki, Naomi Omura

Patent number: 5769651Abstract: A movable connector provided with a connector housing to be movably attached to an instrument panel. In the movable connector, a pipe portion of an inner flange is slidably fitted to the outside of a flange fitting portion projected from the connector housing in a connector-fitting direction. A flange portion of the inner flange is supported movably along a surface of the instrument panel by an outer flange. A gap between the pipe portion and the outer flange is filled with a first region of an elastic body. Further, a gap between an end surface of the pipe portion and an end surface of the connector housing is filled with a second region of the elastic body. The force acting on the connector housing in a direction perpendicular to the connector-fitting direction is absorbed by elastic deformation of the first region, and the force in the connector-fitting direction is absorbed by elastic deformation of the second region.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1996Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Naomi Omura, Shinji Kodama
