Abstract: A seal structure for a vehicle door which stabilizes the appearance of the lip portion on the door and prevents the chipping of the flange tip portion on the side of the door. In a vehicle, a door (10) is mounted so as to cover the outer side of a fender (2). On the door (10) is mounted a weather strip (14) and a seal member (20) positioned facing the side of the fender (2). A flange portion (12) formed integrally with the door (10) is positioned so as to extend towards the fender (2). The seal member (20) includes a door fixing portion (22), a lip portion (21), and a cover portion (23), and is positioned so as to cover the flange portion (12) with the door fixing portion (22). An arch cover (3) is removably mounted to the portion of the fender (2) with which the lip portion (21) is contacted.

Abstract: A latch device on a vehicle tailgate having upper and lower doors comprises an open handle assembly for releasing a lower latch assembly from a lower striker, a key cylinder for releasing an upper latch assembly and an upper striker, a coupling mechanism displaceable between a locked position for disabling an opening operation of the handle assembly and an unlocked position for enabling the opening operation of the handle assembly. The upper latch assembly has a latch and a ratchet. The ratchet is displaceable between an engaging position for engaging with the latch located in a door-closed position and an initial position for making contact with the latch located in a door-open position. The coupling mechanism is displaced to the locked position when the ratchet is in the engaging position and displaced to the unlocked position when the ratchet is in the initial position.

Abstract: A heat exchanger of vertical type in which fluid flows vertically downwardly comprises a cylindrical outer shell which is approximately divided by upper and lower tube plates into an upper plenum, a lower water passage, and an intermediate heat exchanging passage. A plurality of metal-made heat exchanger tubes are disposed in parallel in the heat exchanging passage with both ends supported by the upper and lower tube plates, respectively. A plurality of metal-made fluid flow throttling members are adjustably contacted to a lower end of the heat exchanger tube and inserted into the lower end opening of the corresponding heat exchanger tubes, respectively.
