  • Patent number: 5340623
    Abstract: An ornamental panel for automobiles has a synthetic resin cover. An attaching base is molded separately from the cover and disposed opposite a rear surface of the cover. The cover is molded of a translucent material. The cover has its outer surface made smooth and its inner surface formed with a fine rugged pattern such as crimps. The base has a surface with a rugged pattern of a dimension larger than a dimension of the crimps of the cover. The pattern of the base may be hemispheric concave fisheyes which are two-dimensionally arranged side by side, for example. A metallic film is coated on the pattern of the base.

  • Patent number: 5167574
    Abstract: A ventilation system for ventilating the inside of a compartment such as the compartment of an automobile or the room of a building. The ventilation system prevents the contaminated outside air from flowing back into the inside of the compartment from an inside air outlet by magnetically attracting a mouth frame, which is composed of the inside air outlet and a peripheral edge, and a one-way valve for opening the inside air outlet only at the time of releasing the inside air of the compartment to the outside.

  • Patent number: 4360549
    Abstract: In a molding composed of a molding body comprising a front surface, a bottom, a side portion and a hollow portion, and of an adhesive layer constituted at the bottom, the thin molding side portion extends along the front surface, and the bottom is provided with a projection which projects on one side or both sides of the bottom separate from the front surface and the molding side portion. When the front surface is pushed, the pushing force applied to the front surface produces the fulcrum of the bending moment at the molding side portion and the plane pressure from the fulcrum to the front surface in the direction towards the inside of the bottom, and at the same time the contact pressure applied to the point of action of force is distributed in the plane pressure distribution towards the front surface which attenuates from the peak value below the point of action of force to both sides gradually.
