Patent number: 8931822Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes: an urging member that applies turning force toward a storage position to a sun visor body when a turning angle of the sun visor body from the storage position is a predetermined angle or smaller; and a damper that applies braking force when the sun visor body turns. When a turning speed of the sun visor body toward the storage position is a predetermined speed or lower, the damper braking force is smaller than a value obtained by subtracting turning force based on the weight of the sun visor body from the turning force of the urging member, and, when the turning speed exceeds the predetermined speed, the damper braking force is larger than or equal to the value obtained by subtracting the turning force based on the weight of the sun visor body from the turning force of the urging member.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2013Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Kyowa Sangyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Asai, Kosuke Yamazaki

Patent number: 7850228Abstract: In a vehicle front structure (10), a cross member (52) which is disposed above paired side members (12) includes vehicle width-direction both end portions extending toward a rear side of the vehicle. The cross member (52) is connected with vehicle front-side portions of the paired suspension towers (42) at edges of the extending portions. Therefore, when a vehicle has a frontal collision at high speed, a collision load applied to the cross member (52) can be effectively received by the paired suspension towers (42), and can be transmitted to the paired suspensions. Thus, the cross member (52) can effectively receive the collision load, and can efficiently transmit the collision load to the rear side of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2005Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takashi Asai

Patent number: 7784847Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a technique which contributes to stabilized movement of a sliding structure in a slide-type sun visor for vehicles. Representative sun visor for vehicles includes a sun visor body, a support shaft, a sliding member, a clip member and a clamping device. The clamping device accommodates a clearance in a circumferential direction between the support shaft and the sliding member and prevents relative rotation of the support shaft and the sliding member. The clamping device is mounted to the sliding member and rotates together with the sliding member.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2008Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Kyowa Sangyo Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takashi Asai

Patent number: 7275778Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes a visor body and a support and guide device that serve to hold and direct the visor body, so that the visor body is movable along a first direction between a storage position within a storage space defined within a vehicle cabin ceiling and a withdrawn position located outside of the storage space. A second support member is pivotally mounted to a first support member about a first axis so that the visor body is movable from the withdrawn position to a first light-shielding position. The visor body is pivotally mounted to the second support member about a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis so that the visor body is movable from a first light-shielding position to a second light shielding position as the visor body pivots about the second axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2005Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignees: Kyoma Sangyo Co, Ltd, Shinwa Seiko Co, LtdInventor: Takashi Asai

Patent number: 7192075Abstract: The present invention relates to a sun visor for a vehicle and a method of manufacturing the sun visor. The structure of the sun visor is complicated and the cost thereof is increased when an elastically compressive elastic body is installed between both first and second core split bodies of a core body to prevent the wrinkles from occurring in the vicinity of the corner fused parts of the skins. In view of the above problem, an object of the present invention is to prevent wrinkles from occurring near the corner fused parts of skins with a relatively simple structure. In the present invention, a corner tension part, for preventing the displacement of the corner fused part toward the corner part of the core body, is disposed between the corner part of the core body and the core fused part of the skins.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2004Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignees: Kyowa Sangyo Co., Ltd., Shinwa Seiko Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takashi Asai

Patent number: 7144062Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes a visor body, a horizontal rod mounted to the visor body, and a support arm. The support arm has a vertical rod and is rotatably mounted to a vehicle cabin ceiling. A bearing is mounted to one end of the vertical rod and rotatably receives the horizontal rod, so that the visor body can pivot about an axis of the vertical rod and can also pivot about an axis of the horizontal rod. A stopper mechanism prevents the visor body from moving in a first direction along the axis of the horizontal rod but permits the visor body to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first direction is a direction used for inserting the horizontal rod of the visor body into the horizontal bore of the bearing.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2006Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignees: Kyowa Sangyo Co., Ltd., Shinwa Seiko Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takashi Asai
