  • Publication number: 20240093630
    Abstract: A thermostat device ensures a coolant amount from a bypass passage sufficiently and excellent temperature sensitivity to the coolant temperature. The thermo-operating unit is provided with a control valve for controlling an introduced coolant amount from a first flow inlet via a radiator, corresponding to the temperature of the coolant from a second flow inlet via a bypass passage. Within the housing are provided multiple guides, which are formed extending from the second flow inlet side toward a thermo-element, are arranged intermittently around the thermo-element, and support the thermo-element slidably movable in an axial direction and coolant rectifying protrusions arranged spaced apart from the thermo-element between the guides, wherein a detoured passage for the coolant, directed from the second flow inlet side toward an outflow port, is formed by forming gaps between the guides and the coolant rectifying protrusions.

  • Patent number: 11837387
    Abstract: In an attachment structure of a wiring member, the wiring member and an attaching target member are attached using a convex-shaped part, a concave-shaped part, and an elastic deformation part. When the convex-shaped part is inserted into the concave-shaped part upon receiving force toward a first direction, the elastic deformation part is elastically deformed by the force toward the first direction to fit the convex-shaped part to the concave-shaped part. When the convex-shaped part is pulled from the concave-shaped part upon receiving force toward a second direction opposite to the first direction, the elastic deformation part is elastically deformed by the force toward the second direction in a direction similar to the case of receiving the force toward the first direction, and releases the fitting state of the convex-shaped part and the concave-shaped part.
