  • Publication number: 20240116453
    Abstract: An auxiliary storage box is stored inside a storage box including a box body and a lid body and is detachable from the storage box. The auxiliary storage box includes: an auxiliary box body; an auxiliary lid body; and a lid receiving portion. The auxiliary box body is detachable and stored inside the box body. The auxiliary lid body is detachably held on a back surface side of the lid body in such a manner that a first surface faces the auxiliary box body. The auxiliary lid body closes an opening of the auxiliary box body when the lid body closes the box body. The lid receiving portion is disposed in the opening in an upper portion of the auxiliary box body. The first surface of the auxiliary lid body elastically contacts the lid receiving portion to seal the opening when the auxiliary lid body closes the opening.

  • Patent number: 11904798
    Abstract: A webbing take-up device including: a spool; a tube-shaped cylinder; a fluid supply unit; a rotating member including thrust teeth in a radial pattern about a rotation central axial line formed to faces that oppose one another in an axial direction, and including a tapered portion formed to a rotation outer peripheral side end portion of each of the thrust teeth and having a rotation axial direction dimension that decreases on progression toward a rotation radial direction outside, the spool being rotated in the take-up direction by the rotating member rotating toward one side; and a moving member that is moved toward the axial direction leading end side of the cylinder under pressure of the fluid to cause the rotating member to rotate toward the one side by being moved in an engaged state with the thrust teeth of the rotating member.

  • Publication number: 20230356689
    Abstract: In this webbing take-up device, teeth are formed on flange portions of a rotational member that are disposed opposing each other. The teeth are provided on mutually opposing sides of the flange portions. Discharge portions are formed in the teeth on a rotational center side of the rotational member, and tooth spaces that are adjacent via the teeth are communicated with each other by the discharge portions. Because of the discharge portions, shavings can be discharged, and the shavings can be inhibited from collecting in the tooth spaces.

  • Publication number: 20230331186
    Abstract: In this webbing take-up device, a first straight portion is set between a first bend portion and a mounting portion of a cylinder, and an axial direction base end portion of a moving member disposed inside the cylinder is disposed inside the first straight portion. Because of this, when the axial direction base end portion of the moving member extends and contracts in the axial direction, it does not receive strong resistance from the cylinder. Because of this, the axial direction base end portion of the moving member can extend and contract in the axial direction, and extension and contraction in the axial direction on the axial direction distal end side of the moving member can be inhibited.

  • Publication number: 20230219520
    Abstract: A webbing take-up device includes: a spool that enables pull-out and take-up of a webbing; a rotor disposed opposite from the spool, rotation of the rotor being impeded at a time of emergency; a wire of which a proximal end portion is retained at the rotor, at least a distal end portion of the wire being retained at the spool, the wire being disposed between the rotor and the spool, wherein the webbing is pulled out at a time of emergency of a vehicle, the wire being deformed and being wound onto a winding portion of the spool; and a retreat portion provided at the winding portion, the distal end portion of the wire being disposed at the retreat portion in a case in which the wire is wound onto the winding portion.

  • Publication number: 20210261493
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a crystal of an amino acid salt of HMB which is easy to handle and has high solubility, and to provide a method for producing the same. According to the present invention, the crystal of an amino acid salt of HMB can be precipitated by dissolving an amorphous amino acid salt of HMB in a solvent containing alcohol and stirring or allowing the solvent to left stand. In addition, the crystal of an amino acid salt of HMB can be precipitated by concentrating an aqueous HMB solution of an amino acid salt which has a pH of 2.5 to 11.0.

  • Patent number: 10813414
    Abstract: In a cover of a buckle device, an engagement hook of a side wall of an upper cover is fit together with an engagement groove of a side wall of a lower cover to assemble the upper cover to the lower cover. When the side wall of the upper cover receives an external force, a holder of a buckle switch is sandwiched between a side plate of a buckle body and a rib of the lower cover such that the side plate receives the external force. Accordingly, the rigidity at the engagement hook of the cover is able to be increased.
