  • Patent number: 10005346
    Abstract: In a Targa top vehicle, a detachable roof unit is supported between a front roof arch along an upper edge of a front windshield and a rear roof arch along an upper edge of a rear windshield. The roof unit is fixed to the front roof arch and the rear roof arch by engaging an axially movable front fixing pin with a pin hole of the front roof arch and engaging an axially movable rear fixing pin with a pin hole of the rear roof arch, and an opening formed in a central part of the roof unit is opened and closed by a canvas that can be unfolded and folded. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve a balance between an open feel of the Targa top vehicle and convenience of simply opening and closing the opening of a roof.

  • Patent number: 9981601
    Abstract: A display device includes: a transparent plate-shaped substrate capable of blocking light transmission in its partial region; a planar light-emitting body disposed on a back surface side of the substrate; a light-shielding plate capable of blocking light transmission in its partial region and disposed between the substrate and the light-emitting body; and a design part displayed on the substrate, having a predetermined shape formed from a character or graphic. A first light-shielding region formed from a recess with a same shape as an outline of the design part, and a second light-shielding region having a shape enlarged outward from an outline of the recess by a first dimension are respectively provided on the back surface side of the substrate and a front or back surface side of the plate. First and second light-shielding layers blocking light from the light-emitting body are formed in the first and second light-shielding regions, respectively.
