Publication number: 20240039101Abstract: A battery capable of leading a user to grip a grip part such that the posture of the battery becomes a prescribed posture when the user lifts up the battery. The battery has an approximately rectangular parallelepiped outer shape, and is provided with a third surface, a fourth surface, a fifth surface, and a sixth surface that are approximately orthogonal to a first surface and a second surface respectively at both ends in a longitudinal direction. A handle has a first portion provided near the third surface side to extend from the fifth surface side to the sixth surface side, and a second portion provided to extend from the third surface side toe the fourth surface side.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Daijiro Takizawa, Keiichi Ito, Nobuo Shigemizu

Patent number: 11760433Abstract: A battery storage device includes a battery case (42) storing a battery (62A or 62B) and a case side connection terminal (43) connected to a terminal portion (41) of the battery (62A or 62B) stored in the battery case (42). The battery storage device further includes a terminal displacement mechanism (45) and an operation member (44). The terminal displacement mechanism (45) causes the case side connection terminal (43) to be displaced between a connection position (P1) contact-connected to the terminal portion (41) of the battery (62A or 62B) and a retreat position (P2) separated from the connection position (P1). The operation member (44) is capable of operating the terminal displacement mechanism (45).Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Katsuyuki Okubo, Nobuo Shigemizu, Makie Aoyama

Patent number: 11355812Abstract: A device includes a battery case (42) that stores a battery (62A or 62B), a lock mechanism (133) that is capable of fixing and holding the stored battery (62A or 62B) in the battery case (42), and an operation member (44) that is capable of performing switching operation of the lock mechanism (133) between a battery-fixed state and a non-battery-fixed state. The lock mechanism (133) includes a movable block (160) which is supported by the battery case (42) in a displaceable manner. The movable block (160) has a battery restriction portion (160b or 160c) which restricts displacement of the battery (62A or 62B) in a separation direction in a state of being displaced to a battery fixing position, and a holding force receiving portion (160d) which receives a holding force for maintaining the movable block (160) at the battery fixing position from the operation member (44) in a state where the operation member (44) is operated within a predetermined positional range.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Katsuyuki Okubo, Yasuyuki Maeda, Akira Kuramochi, Takeo Numata, Michito Arai, Yuji Hayashi, Tadashi Minyu, Natsuko Sota, Yasushi Takahashi, Takaaki Kato, Kazuo Tsuji, Makoto Mitsukawa, Etsumi Handa, Nobuo Shigemizu, Yasuhiro Fukuyoshi, Yukio Akai

Publication number: 20220006223Abstract: The present invention relates to a male connector and to an accommodating device. The male connector comprises a plurality of male terminals and a support base. The plurality of male terminals are connected to a plurality of female terminals. The support base holds the plurality of male terminals with spacing therebetween in a line-up direction. The plurality of male terminals protrude upwards from an upper surface of the support base. An incline section is formed on the upper surface of the support base, said incline section having a height difference in an intersecting direction that intersects a plane including the protrusion direction and the line-up direction of the plurality of male terminals.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2019Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventor: Nobuo Shigemizu

Patent number: 9086719Abstract: A throttle control apparatus is configured to be capable of easy assembly. The throttle control apparatus also includes a rotor and an intermediate casing, which surrounds a portion of the rotor. The intermediate casing also houses a position sensor for detecting a rotational angle of the rotor. The rotor and the intermediate casing are both encased in an outer housing, which is configured and adapted to be mounted on a motorcycle handlebar. A return spring, for returning the rotor to an original position, has one end engaged with a first retaining pin on the rotor, and the other end of the return spring is engaged with a second retaining pin on the intermediate casing.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Nomura, Kunihiko Tanaka, Kenji Tamaki, Nobuo Shigemizu, Masaru Nakayama
