Patent number: 6924734Abstract: A vehicular remote control apparatus warns a driver when the driver moves from the inside of a vehicle to the outside of the vehicle while an engine is operating. The vehicular remote control apparatus is located inside the vehicle and includes a transmitter-receiver for generating a first request signal and a portable device for generating a transmission signal in response to the first request signal and transmitting the transmission signal to the transmitter-receiver. The first request signal is transmitted to outside the vehicle. The transmitter-receiver includes a determining device for determining whether the engine is operating and a warning signal transmission device for generating a first warning signal if the engine is operating when receiving the transmission signal and transmitting the first warning signal to the portable device located outside the vehicle. The portable device includes a warning device for giving a warning when the portable device receives the first warning signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2003Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai Rika Denki SeisakushoInventors: Chikao Nagasaka, Toru Nakamura, Toshiyuki Isogai, Shinji Kishida

Patent number: 6708115Abstract: A speedometer for a vehicle capable of displaying a vehicle speed and a traveling distance highly accurately and of providing highly accurate speed information to a system utilizing the speed information is provided. A speedometer is connected to a navigation device that periodically corrects corrected data of a traveling distance per a pulse on the basis of a GPS signal and a vehicle speed pulse signal from a vehicle speed sensor, and outputs the corrected data to a navigation correction information data storage section of the speedometer. A data switching section outputs to a speed computation section the corrected traveling distance data per a pulse that is stored in the navigation correction information data storage section.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2001Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Chikao Nagasaka, Yoshimasa Kunimatsu, Masato Nishikawa, Toshiyuki Isogai

Patent number: 6615132Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a navigation device that can automatically open/close an electric garage door by remote control without manual operation and that can prevent erroneous opening/closing of the electric garage door. A navigation device 10 can be connected to a wireless garage door opener transmitter 50. The navigation device 10 transmits an open signal to the wireless garage door opener transmitter 50 when a vehicle position calculated by a GPS receiver 24 and an orientation detected by a gyro sensor 40 are within a predetermined range that respectively includes a preset electric garage door open instruction position and orientation, and a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed sensor 38 is no greater than a predetermined value. Thus, erroneous opening of the electric garage door when the vehicle approaches the electric garage with an object other than entering the electric garage can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2001Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Chikao Nagasaka, Yoshimasa Kunimatsu, Masato Nishikawa, Toshiyuki Isogai

Patent number: 6314352Abstract: An automatic control system is provided that allows a driver to decide whether some or all of an automatic control content for accessory devices for an automobile is to be executed. Trigger information for performing automatic control is detected by a detecting circuit such as a navigation system 12 and, on the basis of the detected trigger information, control contents are established at a control circuit 20, and the established control contents are announced to the driver through the navigation system 12 and an audio system 16. The driver replies to each of the corresponding announced contents (the contents to be automatically controlled) by operating an answer switch 100. At the control section 20, automatic control is performed in accordance with results of replies from the driver operating the answer switch 100.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2000Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Yoshimasa Kunimatsu, Chikao Nagasaka, Masato Nishikawa, Yoshihisa Hirano, Toshiyuki Isogai

Patent number: 4995674Abstract: The present invention relates to a wheel cover in use for motor vehicles. The wheel cover includes a circular main body, a plurality of holding claws extending from a rear surface of the main body, and a resilient ring to be mounted on the holding claws so as to urge radially outwardly the holding claws. On the rear surface of the main body at positions between the neighboring holding claws are arranged support members each having a groove for receiving the resilient ring. The groove is defined by a bottom surface and a pair of protrusions aligning along the radial direction of the main body. The radial movment of the ring mounted on the holding claws can be regulated by the pair of protrusions so that the expansion of the ring is restricted, resulting in that the holding claws is prevented from expanding radially outwardly, and the ring is prevented from disengaging from the holding claws.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 1989Date of Patent: February 26, 1991Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai Rika Denki SeisakushoInventors: Noboru Shirai, Toshiyuki Isogai
