Abstract: A retaining tube having a substantially equilateral hexagonal shape is accommodated in an accommodation recess formed in a bottom frame of a seat rest. An inflator serving as a gas generation source is accommodated in the retaining tube. The retaining tube is contained in an air bag made of cloth. The inflator is cylindrical and fastened by screws to the bottom wall of the accommodation recess. A support surface, which is one of the six planes configuring the peripheral surface of the retaining tube, extends parallel to the upper surface of the support wall. The support surface is arranged at a position slightly lower than the upper surface. The support surface faces the lower surface of the seat cushion.

Abstract: There is provided an occupant protecting apparatus which reduces a load applied to an occupant caused by inflating an airbag in a seat portion. The occupant protecting apparatus is provided in a seat portion. The occupant protecting apparatus is constituted by an inflator serving as a gas generation source, and an airbag. In a state in which a gas is not supplied from the inflator, that is, in a state in which the airbag is extended to a rear side from a front side of the seat portion under a non-inflated state, a ratio between a distance from a center position of the inflator to a rear end of a support wall of a second bottom frame, and a distance from a distal end of the airbag to the rear end of the support wall of the second bottom frame is set to be equal to or less than 0.77.

Abstract: An apparatus for moving a window glass of a vehicle includes a carrier fixed to a window glass, a guiding rail for slidably supporting the carrier, a driven member fixed to the carrier and an actuator for driving the driven member. The actuator includes a cylinder-shaped rotational driving member for driving the driven member, a holder provided at an outside of the rotational driving member and having an arc-shaped inner surface facing an outer circumferential surface of the rotational driving member and coaxial with the rotational driving member and an arc-shaped moving member having a circumferential length longer than that of the inner surface of the holder, the moving member being provided between the rotational driving member and the inner surface of the holder for circumferential movement by the driven member.

Abstract: A side airbag apparatus includes an inflator and an airbag. The airbag that is deployed and inflated in a space between a body side portion of a vehicle and an occupant seated on a front seat in a passenger compartment by the pressure of gas injected from the inflator. The apparatus also includes a pair of hook devices and tethers. The hook devices are located at the rear end in the airbag. Each tether extends in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle and has an end hooked to one of the hook devices and an end fixed to the front inner end of the airbag. The tethers suppress the expansion of the airbag in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, thereby promoting the expansion of the airbag in the lateral direction of the vehicle. Further, the apparatus includes an occupant size detector for detecting the size of the occupant.

Abstract: A window regulator apparatus includes a housing supporting an electrically driving source, accommodating therein a speed reduction gear mechanism, and secured to an inner panel of a vehicle door; a case formed integrally with the housing and within which installing a driving circuit substrate, the case having a first surface facing the inner panel of the vehicle door and further having an opening defined at a portion of the case being different from the first surface, the opening employed as a means of inserting the driving circuit substrate into the case; a connector connected to the driving circuit substrate, exposed to an area outside the case through the first surface, and facing the inner panel of the vehicle door; and a sealing member supported at the case so as to protect and make fluid-tight a periphery of the connector.

Abstract: A knee protector is arranged in front of a seat in a vehicle, and includes a load receiving part that is comprised of an upper portion positioned or shaped suitably for a person who is relatively large in stature and a lower portion positioned or shaped suitably for a person who is relatively small in stature. Therefore, the load receiving part of the knee protector is positioned substantially in front of the knees of drivers of various statures. The knee protector can absorb the impact applied by the knees of drivers of varying statures without requiring an increase in weight or cost.

Abstract: A rotor core, rotating in the vicinity of a generating coil, comprises a balance weight section and a pair of magnetic poles, provided on opposite sides of the balance weight section 2 with respect to a center of rotation O of the rotor core 1 to sandwich a magnet, and confronting through a magnetic gap G. A magnet holding section 9 for preventing the magnet 5 flying out through the magnetic gap G due to centrifugal force, is provided integrally contiguous to each of the magnetic poles so as to connect between the two magnetic poles.

Abstract: A contactless ignition system is provided with an ignition charge discharge condenser for charging an induced voltage of a generating coil, a first switching element, triggered to conduct when an induced voltage of a generating coil reaches a predetermined level, for supplying a charged voltage into an ignition coil, and a trigger control condenser for charging induced voltages of the generating coil and the trigger coil, and triggering of the first switching element caused by an induced voltage of the generating coil is inhibited by a second switching element during a specified discharge time following charging of the trigger control condenser.
