Patent number: 9550463Abstract: A vehicle body end section structure is obtained that enables a spacer member that transmits load to a framework member in a small overlap collision to be suppressed from impinging on a wheel in a minor collision. The vehicle body end section structure comprises a pair of left and right framework members, a bumper framework section connected to leading end portions of the pair of framework members, and a spacer member that projects out from a jutting-out portion of the bumper framework section toward a framework member side. The spacer member is disposed such that a rotation trajectory of the spacer member about a connection location between the bumper framework section and the framework member, the connection location is positioned on an opposite side in the vehicle width direction of the spacer member, does not impinge on a wheel in plan view.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yasuhiro Hara, Tetsuo Nuruki, Yoichi Tamura, Nobuhisa Ishiyama, Hiroshi Mizuo, Shintaro Kitakata, Hiroshi Kato, Yukio Oka

Publication number: 20110233965Abstract: A structure (14) in which two structural members (18, 20) that each include thick portion and that have a plurality of bolt holes (26, 28, 30, 32) wherein the two structural members are overlapped at the thick portion and fastened together with bolts (42) at the plurality of bolt holes. In this structure, a certain amount of play is provided respectively for the bolts (42) at the bolt holes (26, 28, 30, 32) so that a shear force resulting from an external force applied to the structure (14) acting on the bolts (42) is even after at least one of the two structural members is deformed by the external force.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2009Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yukio Oka

Patent number: 5078820Abstract: Apparatus and method for pressure and heat sticking a thin film to a base plate. The thin film and a base plate on a film like carrier are introduced into a vacuum chamber having upper and lower contact members for compressing the thin film, base member and carrier into a stratified body. The thin film and base plate are held separate from one another in the chamber. The lower contact member moves upward to contact the carrier and base plate and to compress the stratified body between it and the upper contact member. The upper contact member is convex in shape and made of an elastic material so that the contact pressure on the thin film and base plate starts near the center and spreads toward the periphery resulting in improved sticking of thin film to the base plate with no air bubbles and no wrinkling. The pressure is applied in a vacuum or reduced atmospheric pressure and heat is simultaneously applied. A further compression in the air at atmospheric pressure is carried out by a heat and pressure roller.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1989Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignees: Somar Corporation, Hitachi TechnoInventors: Fumio Hamamura, Yukio Oka

Patent number: 4767240Abstract: An underwater pile-framed structure comprises a plurality of upright piles 11 arranged in two parallel and spaced rows, reinforcing cages 13 surrounding the piles in peripherally spaced relationship thereto, and precast block stacks 22, 23 connecting together the piles in the two rows and surrounding individual pile-cage assemblies in each row. The piles are driven into the seabed in two spaced and parallel rows, the reinforcing cages are lowered over the piles to predetermined positions, the blocks are stacked over the cages to connect together the pile-cage assemblies in the two rows, and concrete is poured into the annular clearances between the piles and the block stacks.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1986Date of Patent: August 30, 1988Assignee: Tobishima CorporationInventors: Shigeaki Ohkawara, Yukio Oka
