Abstract: A wire guide member is formed with a U-shaped curved guide surface along which a recessed wire guide groove is formed. A wire supplying device is disposed an appropriate distance away from one end of the wire guide groove, and a wire end stopper is disposed another appropriate distance away from the other end of the wire guide groove, respectively. Two wire push-in plates are interposed between the wire guide member and the wire supplying device and between the wire guide member and the wire end stopper, respectively so as to be movable up and down. Further, a wire holding member for clipping the bent wire is arranged at a position lower than the wire travel line determined by the wire supplying device and the wire guide groove, so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the wire feed direction.

Abstract: A wire harness and a method of and apparatus for manufacturing the same is disclosed. The present wire harness comprises a plurality of electric wires, constituting its trunk line portion and branch line portions, laid on a wiring board so as to form a desired pattern and a clamp chain, formed of a plurality of wire clamps arranged in parallel at predetermined pitches, attached to the edge portion at least at one side of the wiring board, in which the electric wires are locked to specific wire clamps of the clamp chain, and thereby, both end portions of the electric wires are arranged so as to be in parallel at predetermined pitches and projecting from the edge portion.

Abstract: A musical tone synthesizing apparatus simulating a wind instrument includes an excitation circuit simulating a reed operation of a mouth piece portion, a resonance circuit simulating a resonance tube and a musical tone control circuit. The excitation circuit produces an excitation signal based on an input signal and a reflected wave signal transmitted from the resonance circuit. The excitation signal is input to the resonance circuit. The resonance circuit includes a bi-directional transmission circuit and a junction unit which is inserted into the bi-directional transmission circuit. The junction unit caries out a scattering operation corresponding to a scattering operation of compression wave of air which is occurred in the vicinity of the tone hole of the resonance tube. The excitation signal propagates through the bi-directional transmission circuit in a forward direction as a progressive wave signal.

Abstract: A variable delay circuit for delaying an input signal and being capable of changing length of this delay is provided and various modulation effects are imparted by this delay. When change in the delay length has been designated, a decay envelope is imparted to a delay output tone signal corresponding to the delay length before the change and then a rise envelope is imparted to a delay output signal corresponding to the delay length after the change. Generation of a click noise during the change in the delay length thereby is prevented. Alternatively, when the delay length is to be changed, a decay envelope is imparted to a delay output signal corresponding to the delay length before the change and, simultaneously, a rise envelope is imparted to a delay output tone signal corresponding to the delay length after the delay and the two signals are combined.

Abstract: A wiring structure for electric wirings in a vehicle or the like. A horizontal partition wall portion that is nearly horizontal is provided in a dashboard partitioning a car room from an engine room provided outside of that car room, and an end portion of an outdoor side harness within the engine room is positioned above the horizontal partition wall portion, while an end portion of an indoor side harness within the car room is positioned under the horizontal partition wall portion. And, one connector provided at the end portion of the indoor side harness and the other connector provided at the end portion of the outdoor side harness are joined with each other penetrating through the horizontal partition wall portion. The above-mentioned one connector is a waiting connector slidably supported from a connector guide mounted to the horizontal partition wall portion, and a nut directed in the sliding direction is fixed thereto.

Abstract: A method of producing an instrument panel of a motor vehicle or similar molding of forming resin which includes a section for fitting an electrical part. The electrical part fitting section is constituted by a coupler engageable with the electrical part and an opening which is contiguous with the interior of the coupler. The opening is surrounded in a liquid-tight configuration by a pressing member for sealing which is disposed on one of coactive parts of a metal mold. The coupler is removably mounted on the other metal mold part. When the metal mold parts are clamped, a peripheral edge portion of the coupler abuts against a portion of the pressing member which surrounds an opening of the pressing member. A flexible printed circuit to which the electrical part is electrically connectable is interposed between the coupler and the pressing member such that terminal portions of the circuit face the inside of the coupler.

Abstract: For a sliding roof device (100) having a panel transfer mechanism (11, 12, 13b, 31, 33, 34, 7, 21) for moving a roof panel (2), which is adapted to open and close a roof opening (3a) of a roof (1), between a close position and an open position, a tilt-up mechanism (11, 12, 13a, 32, 33, 34, 7, 21) for moving the roof panel between the close position and a tilt-up position, and a reversible electric motor (51) for actuating the panel transfer mechanism and the tilt-up mechanism, there is provided a control circuit (50) including a first operation switch (58) for actuating the motor to thereby have the roof panel moved from the close position to the open position and the tilt-up position, and a second operation switch (57) for actuating the motor to thereby have the roof panel moved from the open position and the tilt-up position to the close position.

Abstract: A method for removal of curling of a circuit printable flexible substrate comprising a metal foil and a film layer of an aromatic polyamideimide or an aromatic polyimide formed by coating on the said metal foil a solution of an aromatic polyamideimide, an aromatic polyimide precursor or an aromatic polyimide, and drying the coated solution layer to setting, whose curling is produced to direct the metal foil surface to face outside, which comprises sliding under tension the curled circuit printable flexible substrate on a curved surface of a bar having a curvature radius of 0.5-25 mm, at which the substrate is turned back at a turning angle of not less than 90.degree., placing the metal foil layer in contact with the bar, at a temperature of not higher than 80.degree. C. A method employing two such bars is also disclosed.
