Patent number: 11340407Abstract: Optical fiber hole forming pins configured to form optical fiber holding holes each have a first portion located adjacent to a first end surface and a second portion located adjacent to a second end surface and larger in diameter than the first portion. At least one of the plurality of optical fiber hole forming pins is different from the other optical fiber hole forming pins in position, in a first direction, of a step portion located at a boundary between the first portion configured to form a small diameter portion of each of the optical fiber holding holes and the second portion configured to form a large diameter portion of each of the optical fiber holding holes.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Masaki Omura, Fumiya Uehara, Yusuke Takai

Patent number: 11279298Abstract: An upper column cover includes a final positioning part, an initial positioning part, and a guide part. The final positioning part positions a camera in a state where the camera is arranged at a final assembly position at which a lens of the camera is arranged in an opening. The initial positioning part positions the camera in a state where the camera is arranged at an initial assembly position at which the lens of the camera is separated from a top wall portion and a suspended wall portion. The guide part guides the camera in a process in which the camera is moved from the initial assembly position to the final assembly position while regulating a movement of the lens of the camera in upward, downward, rightward, and leftward directions with respect to the upper column cover.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shosuke Yachida, Yusuke Takai

Patent number: 11215763Abstract: An elastic member according to an embodiment is an elastic member that biases a ferrule retaining a plurality of optical fibers in a connecting direction. The elastic member is stored in an inner housing that accommodates the ferrule, the elastic member has a space in its inside into which a 16-fiber tape fiber is inserted, and the elastic member is in a noncircular shape in a cross section intersecting with the connecting direction. The elastic member includes a pair of first portions having an outer surface opposite to a pair of inner surfaces in an arc shape of the housing, the inner surfaces being opposite to each other along a first direction intersecting with the connecting direction and a pair of second portions opposite to the tape fiber along a second direction intersecting with both of the connecting direction and the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignees: JAPAN COMMUNICATION ACCESSORIES MANUFACTURING CO., LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC OPTIFRONTIER CO., LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Yusuke Takai, Tsutomu Kamada, Motoyoshi Kimura, Fumiya Uehara, Masaki Omura
