  • Patent number: 9952361
    Abstract: A solid-state imaging device comprises a CMOS sensor, a circuit board, a ceramic plate, an IR cut filter, a taking lens, a lens holder, and a support barrel. The CMOS sensor is mounted on the circuit board. The circuit board is fixed to the ceramic plate such that the CMOS sensor is placed inside an opening of the ceramic plate. The sides of the CMOS sensor are surrounded by the ceramic plate. The IR cut filter is fixed to the ceramic plate so as to cover the opening. The CMOS sensor is disposed behind the taking lens. The IR cut filter is disposed between the taking lens and the CMOS sensor. A light-shielding layer is formed over the entire periphery of edge portions of an incident surface of the IR cut filter. Harmful rays such as reflective light is blocked by the light-shielding layer.

  • Patent number: 9939060
    Abstract: In a shift lever device, at a time when a shift lever is pivotally operated in a front-rear direction, a retainer and a link are pivoted integrally with the shift lever, and a pivot portion is pivoted in the front-rear direction. Further, at a time when the shift lever is pivotally operated in a left-right direction, the shift lever is pivoted with respect to the retainer, and the link is pivoted, and the pivot portion is thereby pivoted in the left-right direction. Moreover, a position of the pivot portion is detected by a detecting mechanism, and a shift position of the shift lever is detected. Therefore, the shift position of the shift lever can be detected via the link.

  • Patent number: 9074675
    Abstract: In a strength gate of a shift lever device, a shift hole is provided with an automatic transmission hole, a manual transmission hole, and a communication hole. The strength gate is provided with a peninsular portion that is adjacent to the automatic transmission hole, the manual transmission hole and the communication hole, and an opposing portion that is on the opposite side of the manual transmission hole to the peninsular portion. The peninsular portion is disposed to a front side with respect to the opposing portion. A reduction in the size of the peninsular portion along the vehicle left-right direction can accordingly be suppressed even if the strength gate is reduced in size along the vehicle left-right direction, thereby enabling a reduction in the strength of the peninsular portion to be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 9032828
    Abstract: In a shift lever device, a first engagement portion or a second engagement portion of a shift lever is inserted into a first stopping hole or a second stopping hole of a strength gate when the shift lever is turned along a manual transmission hole, thereby stopping the shift lever from turning towards an automatic transmission hole side. In the shift lever, the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are disposed at the vehicle front side and the vehicle rear side of a support body. An increase in size of the shift lever in the vehicle left-right direction due to the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion can accordingly be suppressed, and the turning rage of the shift lever in the vehicle left-right direction can be made smaller, thereby enabling a reduction in size of the shift lever device in the vehicle left-right direction.
