Patent number: 11123815Abstract: Seam welding is performed by clamping a coupling portion of an upper sash with a first roller electrode and a second roller electrode, and applying electricity while rotating first roller electrode and the second roller electrode. The first roller electrode includes a plurality of first projecting portions and second projecting portions that are at intervals in a circumferential direction around a first rotational center. The second roller electrode may include a plurality of first opposing projecting portions and second opposing projecting portions that are at intervals in a circumferential direction around a second rotational center, by clamping a coupling portion of an upper sash and applying electricity while rotating.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: SHIROKI CORPORATIONInventors: Jiro Yoshihara, Koji Yoshida, Toshifumi Yanai

Patent number: 10507512Abstract: According to one embodiment, a clip is assembled to an inner member in a state where the clip penetrates through a through-hole of the inner member. The through-hole penetrates between a bottom surface of a recessed part and an inner surface in the inner member, in other words, between front and rear surfaces of the inner member. This configuration enables a part where the inner member holds the clip to be formed relatively thicker. Thus, strength of a connection part of the clip and the inner member can be further enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignees: SHIROKI CORPORATION, AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Toshifumi Yanai

Publication number: 20160200181Abstract: A vehicular door frame includes an outer member constituting a glass-run housing portion and an inner member to be coupled to the outer member. The outer member includes a folded portion with substantially U-shaped cross-section and a return portion. The return portion raises a portion of the housing portion closer to a proximal end portion than the folded portion in a flat manner at least to a first-side end position of the folded portion. The inner member includes an extended portion and a distal end surface on an edge portion of the extended portion. A projection portion on the distal end surface protrudes toward a first side. The projection portion is arranged at a predetermined position on the inner member in the longitudinal direction, and is heated and melted through current concentration during resistance welding, and the distal end surface and a facing portion of the folded portion are pressure-bonded.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2014Publication date: July 14, 2016Applicant: AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Eisuke SATO, Toshifumi YANAI
