Patent number: 10293764Abstract: A resin molded body (10) includes a metal attachment member (22) and an extension part (33, 34) extending from the resin molded body. At least one part of the metal attachment member (22) is exposed in a mounting surface (20a) of the resin molded body. The mounting surface (20a) is to be facing to the mounting target when the resin molded body is fixed to a mounting target. At least one part of the extension part (33, 34) is protruded outside the mounting surface. A protrusion length of the at least one part of the extension part (33, 34) from the mounting surface is larger than a protrusion length of the metal attachment member (22) from the mounting surface. The at least one part is configured to allow deforming in a direction away from the mounting target when the resin molded body is fixed to the mounting target.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshimichi Yamao, Masayoshi Ogawa, Masanobu Suzuki
