Patent number: 10093157Abstract: A mounting system mounts an accessory to a body member of a vehicle. The body member defines an opening and includes a base inserted into the opening. The mounting system includes a hook-shaped first engagement feature engaging the body member and a base aperture. A clip is disposed within the base aperture and the body member defines a second engagement feature. The clip includes two pairs of legs connected at a top portion of the clip, and two flexible tab members extending from the top portion of the clip biased outwardly between the legs into engagement with the inner edge of the body member. A cap includes a cap base and a plunger extending from a central portion of a first side of the cap base. The plunger abuts the flexible tab members, maintaining the flexible tab members in engagement with the body member.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Christina M Ibrahim, Matthew R Schlater, Toshimasa Takeuchi, Troy M Medlar

Patent number: 7886688Abstract: To provide a plasma processing apparatus capable of enhancing insulation between an electrode and a casing and adjusting the temperature of the electrode from outside. An electrode 30 is provided at its discharge space forming surface with a solid dielectric 50. The electrode 30 is received in a casing 20 such that the solid dielectric 50 on the discharge space forming surface is exposed. An in-casing space 29 between the casing 20 and the electrode 30 disposed in the casing 20 is filled with substantially pure nitrogen gas. This nitrogen gas pressure is more increased than the pressure in the discharge space. Preferably, nitrogen gas is allowed to flow.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2005Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshimasa Takeuchi, Setsuo Nakajima, Naomichi Saito, Osamu Nishikawa

Patent number: 7886689Abstract: To prevent occurrence of arcing caused by difference of thermal expansion between the electrode and the solid dielectric in a plasma processing apparatus. The bottom part of a casing 20 of processing units 10L, 10R is open, this opening part is closed with a solid dielectric plate 50, and an electrode 30 is received in the casing 20 such that the electrode 30 is free in the longitudinal direction. The solid dielectric plate 50 has such strength as capable of supporting the dead weight of the electrode 30 solely by itself. The electrode 30 is placed on the upper surface of the solid dielectric plate 50 is a non-fixed state such that the dead weight of the electrode 30 is almost totally applied to the solid dielectric plate 50.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2005Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshimasa Takeuchi, Setsuo Nakajima, Naomichi Saito, Osamu Nishikawa

Publication number: 20090229756Abstract: In an atmospheric-pressure plasma processing apparatus, a first metal surface 21a of a first stage portion 21 of a stage 20 is exposed and an object to be processed W composed of a dielectric material is placed on the first metal surface 21a. A second stage portion 22 is disposed on a peripheral edge of the first stage portion 21. A solid dielectric layer 25 is disposed on a second metal 24 of the second stage portion 22. A peripheral portion of the object W is placed on an inner dielectric portion 26 of the solid dielectric layer 25. An electrode 11 generates a run up discharge D2 in a second movement range R2 above the second stage portion 22. Then, the electrode 11 is moved to a first movement range R1 above the first stage portion 21 and generates a regular plasma discharge D1.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2006Publication date: September 17, 2009Applicant: SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Setsuo Nakajima, Toshimasa Takeuchi, Junichi Matsuzaki, Satoshi Mayumi, Osamu Nishikawa, Naomichi Saito, Yoshinori Nakano, Makoto Fukushi, Yoshihiko Furuno
