Latest Patents
One of Masaaki Shiozaki's latest patents is a shift device that enables detection accuracy to be improved. In this device, the shift position of a knob is altered as a result of the knob being rotated. A Hall IC on a wiring substrate detects the rotation position of a magnet in the knob, allowing for precise detection of the shift position. The Hall IC is strategically placed on the outer side in the rotation radial direction of the magnet, which enlarges the change in the relative position between the magnet and the Hall IC. This design significantly enhances the detection accuracy when determining the shift position of the knob.
Another notable patent is the vehicle shift device, which increases the strength of the outer side portion in a second direction of the shift body. In this device, when a lever is placed in an 'M' position, a right avoidance hole of the lever avoids interference with a right restricting portion. The rotational movement of a left restricting surface of the lever is restricted by a left restricting portion, preventing the lever from moving towards the right side. Conversely, when the lever is in a 'D' position, a left avoidance hole avoids interference with the left restricting portion, and the right restricting portion restricts the lever's movement to the left. This design allows for smaller avoidance holes, thereby increasing the strength of both outer side portions of the lever.
