Abstract: A toilet paper holder is constituted of a storage body (13) storing toilet paper (38) and a lid body (14) covering the storage body (13) in an openable/closable manner. A paper end (39) drawn out from the toilet paper (38) stored in a storage part (15) of the storage body (13) extends frontward between a press roller (25) mounted on the lid body (14) and a guide roller (24) mounted on the storage body (13) in a pressed state, and is taken out from between a front edge (41) of the lid body (14) and a front part (35) of a flap mechanism (17) mounted on the storage body (13). The front part (35), which is swingable, is urged to a front position. A cutting mechanism (16) coming into contact with the paper for dissolving the same is detachably mounted on the storage body (13) on a position under the guide roller (24).

Abstract: A sensed-pressure-data converter having a circuit for reducing a fluctuation of the output due to a fluctuation of a resistance and a resistance changing characteristic of a pressure sensitive resistance element and for reducing the output offset and offset drift of the pressure sensitive resistance element. The converter of the invention comprises a pressure sensitive resistance element (1), and a controller (2). The controller is an electric circuit connected to the pressure sensitive resistance element for detecting the electric characteristic of the element and includes A/D converters (3, 4), a D/A converter (6), and a memory (5). The controller compensates the electric characteristic due to a resistance change of the pressure sensitive resistance element and issues it from the D/A converter (6).

Abstract: A weatherstrip assembly mounted to a body component or a body aperture through a holder includes a weatherstrip having weatherstrip bodies. Each pair of the weatherstrip bodies cooperate to form an L-shaped or a V-shaped corner portion of the weatherstrip corresponding to an associated one of L-shaped or V-shaped corner portions of the holder. Each of two weatherstrip bodies which constitute one of the corner portions of the weatherstrip has a mounting base held between a retainer and a clip which are respectively fixed to the inner and outer faces of the mounting base and which are coupled to each other through coupling pins formed integrally with the clip and extending through the weatherstrip mounting base, each coupling pin having a distal end portion thereof press-fitted into a pin hole formed in the retainer.

Abstract: A body has a front side member and a side sill connected thereto. The side sill is disposed outwardly of and below the front side member in the width and height directions of the body. At a junction between the front side member and the side sill, a reinforcement member for reinforcing the junction is provided. The reinforcement member has a longitudinal wall and front and rear walls extending in the body width direction and functioning as bulkheads, and permits the junction to resist a bending moment caused by an impact force applied to the front of the body and acting on the junction in the backward, upward and inward directions of the body. Especially in an offset crash, the reinforcement member restrains a deformation of the side sill and decreases a recession of a front pillar, to thereby reduce a deformation of the passenger cabin.

Abstract: N signals are transmitted from each of N transmitting units to a receiving unit every signal transmission cycle (N.gtoreq.2). In this case, N signal transmitting periods of N I-th signals and (N-1) I-th transmission short pausing periods for each of the I-th transmitting units are alternately placed in each of I-th signal grouping periods (1.ltoreq.I.ltoreq.N), and an I-th transmission long pausing period follows each of the I-th signal grouping periods to set one signal transmission cycle composed of one I-th signal grouping period and one I-th transmission long pausing period for each of the I-th transmitting unit. A time length of each first transmission short pausing period is equal to that of the signal transmitting period, a time length of each I-th transmission short pausing period is (2N+2I-5) times as long as that of the signal transmitting period, and a time length of the signal transmission cycle is 4N(N-1) times as long as the signal transmitting period.
