Abstract: A reverse-separating device for a slide fastener, comprises a retainer pin 5, a separable pin 6 both made of metal and a reverse-separating slider 3. Each of the retainer pin 5 and the separable pin 6 is of a U-shaped cross-section and has a slit 18 formed along its front edge. At the lower end of the slit 18, the retainer pin 5 projects rearward beyond the slit 18 to thus provide a loop-like stopper 22 for engagement with the flange 31 of the reverse-separating slider 3. Once the retainer pin 5 is inserted into the reverse-separating slider 3, the retainer pin 5 is firmly retained by three parts of the reverse-separating slider 3. The separable pin 6 has a projecting ledge 28 formed on the upper end the projecting fin 27 so as to project laterally therefrom. The projecting ledge 28 of the separable pin 6 is adapted to abut against the upper end of the projecting fin 25 of the retainer pin 5 and thus prevent the separable pin 6 from moving further into the reverse-separating slider 3.

Abstract: A slider for slide fastener provided with an automatic stopper device which allows automatic assembly and manual assembly and holds a leaf spring in a stabilized condition, the slider having five members, that is, a body, a pull tag, a pawl member, a leaf spring and a cover. Mounting posts for attachment of the cover are provided on front and rear portions on a top face of the body. The top face of each of the mounting posts has a protrusion as a first holding portion for holding the leaf spring in which concave portions are formed in both ends. The cover to be mounted on the mounting posts has protrusions as second holding portions for holding the leaf spring at front and rear ends of the inner face of the top wall. Each of the concave portions in the leaf spring is engaged with the protrusions of the first holding portion and second holding portion with play.

Abstract: An operational apparatus for a vehicle slide door comprises an outer open lever connected to an outside handle of the door, an inside handle of the door rotatable in door-opening and door-closing directions, an inner open lever connected to the inside handle, a child-proof mechanism, a powered closing unit for closing the door from a half-latched position to the full-latched position, a fail-safe lever for interrupting an operation of the powered closing unit, a sub inner lever connected to the inside handle. The inner open lever transmits a door-closing rotation of the inside handle to the fail-safe lever without through the child-proof mechanism. The sub inner lever transmits a door-opening rotation of the inside handle to the fail-safe lever without through the child-proof mechanism. The fail-safe lever is moved in the same direction by either of the door-opening and the door-closing rotations of the inside handle.

Abstract: An opening and closing device comprises a powered sliding unit, a powered closing unit in the slide door, a first terminal connected to a battery on the body, a second terminal connected to the closing unit, a handle switch provided in the door for detecting actuation of an open handle, a controller provided in the body for operating the sliding unit, a wireless apparatus for transmitting a radio signal to the controller when the switch detects the actuation of the handle. The second terminal electrically contacts with the first terminal when the door is closed. The device has a wire apparatus composed of a first wire line for connecting the first terminal and the controller, and a second wire line for connecting the second terminal and the handle switch.

Abstract: A vehicle back door latch device has a striker fixed to a vehicle body, and a latch assembly fixed to a vehicle back door. The latch assembly comprises a main metal plate having a vessel-shaped storing portion for storing a latch, a sub metal plate fixed to the main metal plate so as to cover an upper opening of the storing portion. The storing portion is defined by a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a right-hand wall and a left-hand wall. A main notch portion and a sub notch portion are respectively formed in the bottom wall and the front wall for receiving the striker when the back door is closed. The rear wall is formed into an arc shape swelling backward. Engaging portions are respectively formed on both sides of the sub notch portion of the front wall, and studs which are engaged with the engaging portions when the back door is closed are fixed to the striker.

Abstract: In a locking slide fastener slider, an upper wing has on its lower surface a central ledge extending from a guide post to the rear end so as to define a pair of side recesses one on each side of the central ledge. The central ledge has a large-width portion extending from around a base of the guide post and terminating midway to the rear end an intermediate tapering portion contiguous to the large-width portion, and a small-width portion extending from the tapering portion to the rear end. An inclined slope is formed along the boundary of the central ledge and one of side recesses. A locking-pawl-insertion through-hole extends transversely from the central ledge into one side recess across the slope.

Abstract: A vehicle door latch device comprises a latch body made of synthetic resin and having a recess at a front side thereof, a latch member rotatably mounted in the recess by a latch shaft for engaging with a striker and having an open position, a half-latch position and a full-latch position, a ratchet rotatably mounted in the recess and having a pawl portion for engaging with the latch member. The latch member has a first side surface incorporating a contact point with which the striker comes into contact when the door is closed while the latch member is in the full-latch position. The first side surface has a predetermined length defined between a first door opening side end and a first door closing side end. The first side surface is an arc having a uniform radius measured from the latch shaft or an arc having a distance from the latch shaft which gradually increases therealong from the first door closing side end to the first door opening side end.
