Abstract: A subframe (100) includes a base member (110) and a first member (121). The base member (110) is a channel-shaped member that includes a base surface portion. (111) and two wall portions (112) on both sides of the base surface portion (111) in a vehicle length direction and is open on its lower side in a vehicle height direction. The first member (121) includes a bottom wall portion (121g), a top wall portion (121t), and a side wall portion (121s). The bottom wall portion (121g) and the top wall portion (121t) are disposed in the same direction as the base surface portion (111). The top wall portion (121t) is overlapped on and joined to the base surface portion (111). The wall portions (112) and the bottom wall portion (121g) form the channel shape. The side wall portion (121s) is a wall that blocks a vehicle width direction between the bottom wall portion (121g) and the top wall portion (121t).

Abstract: A test sample support for use in a collision test using a center pillar assembly of an automobile body as a test sample, includes a linear main body, a first attachment part, and a second attachment part. A cross section of the main body of the test sample support is an open section of cross-shaped. The first attachment part is secured to the center pillar assembly. The second attachment part is secured to a collision test apparatus. This makes it possible to perform a collision test conveniently and at a low cost, thereby accurately evaluating side collision performance of the center pillar assembly.

Abstract: A curved leaf spring which is a first urging member surrounds an outer wheel of a second bearing, and urges, through the second bearing, a second end of a worm shaft in a direction in which the distance between the center of the worm shaft and the center of a worm wheel is shortened. A second urging member includes an annular support member received by an end surface of the outer wheel and a plurality of elastic pins extending in a direction in parallel with the axial direction of a support member. The elastic pins have fixed ends fixed to the support member and free ends that come into elastic contact with an end wall of a housing.
