Abstract: Looseness of a rotary connector and lifting of the rotary connector which occurs depending on a harness wiring state are prevented, to reduce inconvenience such as generation of an abnormal sound due to the rotary connector contacting a steering wheel. In a fixing structure of a rotary connector, which includes a projecting piece 15 to fix the rotary connector to a combination switch and a locked portion 22a to be locked by the projecting piece 15 and in which a laterally protruding locking claw 31 is formed in a tip portion of the projecting piece 15, the locking claw 31 of the projecting piece 15 is integrally provided with a flexible urging portion 15a that displaces and urges the locking claw 31 in a locking direction. A contact surface 32 is formed on the locking claw 31, the contact surface 32 obliquely coming into contact with a locking side corner 23 of the locked portion 22a from the opposing side.

Abstract: A switch device includes a switch body that supports a lever operating portion, and a cylindrical fitting portion through which the switch body is attached to an attached portion. The fitting portion includes a plurality of elastic deformation portions elastically deformable by a clamping force of a clamping band member and a pressed-bulging portion bulging from an outer surface of a tip portion of the elastic deformation portions. The pressed-bulging portion is configured to locate at a contact position with the attached portion.

Abstract: A switch device includes a cylindrical movable lever-portion that is operable in multiple directions, a unit case that supports the movable lever-portion, and a flexible printed circuit board routed from an inside of the movable lever-portion to an inside of the unit case. A routed portion of the flexible printed circuit board to be routed inside the unit case includes a stress absorber configured to absorb a stress applied to the flexible printed circuit board. The stress absorber includes a plurality of curved portions curved in opposite directions to each other.

Abstract: An in-vehicle apparatus mounting unit having a projection projecting into a cabin interior includes: a panel provided to face the cabin interior; a support for supporting the projection while the projection is made to project from the panel; and a support case that is attached to the panel on an opposite side to the cabin and accommodates the support in a space formed thereby together with the panel. The support is fixed to the panel or the support case by fixing means, and the fixing means releases the fixation for the support when a load pushing the projection toward the panel exceeds a predetermined load.

Abstract: A light adjustment device for a vehicle comprises: a control circuit 8 connected to a lamp 2; a first variable resistor 20 for adjusting the intensity of illumination of the lamp 2 by changing the output voltage of the control circuit 8; and a second variable resistor, having different resistance value characteristics to the first variable resistor 20, for adjusting the intensity of illumination of the LED 4.

Abstract: A connection structure for power supply to a vehicle door including a door side connector 4, a body side connector 3, a plurality of female terminals 9 provided in parallel in either one of the connectors, and a plurality of male terminals 46 corresponding to the female terminals provided in parallel in the other of the connectors, the female terminals 9 and the male terminals 46 being connected to each other when the door is closed, the female terminals 9 being arranged close to one another and synchronously swingable around a support shaft 15 in a direction of axial displacement with respect to the male terminals 46. The connection structure further includes a spring member 16 for forcing a pair of contact portions 20 of each of the female terminals 9 into a closed state, the spring member 16 including a pair of leg portions 16b1, 16b2 which are in abutment against spring receiving walls 36 of a housing 8 of either one of the connectors.

Abstract: A disconnected situation of a clutch is detected by a clutch sensor and an actuator performing selection of gear ratio in a secondary transmission is controlled by a control circuit in response to detected signals of the clutch sensor, whereby the selection of the gear ratio is conducted only when the clutch is put in its disconnected situation.
