An embodiment provides a damper a damper including: a housing; a rotor; and a sealing member. The housing includes outer and inner cylinder portions to define a filling space portion therebetween for filling with a viscose fluid. The rotor includes a head portion and a cylinder portion extended downwardly therefrom so as to be inserted into the filling space portion. The sealing member seals the filling space portion. The rotor further includes axially-extending first and second groove portions provided on outer and inner peripheral surfaces of the cylinder portion near the bottom portion thereof. At least one of the first groove portions includes a communicating portion which communicates the inside and the outside of the rotor, and the second groove portion is apart from the communicating portion in a circumferential direction.

A side rock device attaches a first member to a second member to be openable. The side rock device includes a pair of lock arms, a housing which holds the lock arms movably, a slider defining inclining holes which engage with the lock arms and urge the lock arms to protrude and retract, the slider disposed in the housing, and an elastic member which elastically urges the slider toward a predetermined direction. When the slider is operated against an elastic urging force of the elastic member, the lock arms are retracted.

In a storage apparatus for a vehicle including a lid which can rotate about a pivot, and a damper device having a cord-like connecting member and adapted to generate damping force against pulling force from the connecting member, wherein a connecting wire (the connecting member) is pulled, when the lid rotates in one direction, thereby to generate the damping force in the damper device, it is so constructed that a damping force control member having a guide face for the connecting wire is fixed to the lid, and when the lid has rotated in a direction of receiving the damping force, the connecting wire is wound around the guide face and pulled.

Storage apparatus for vehicle

A heart cam and damper unit includes a base member having fixed cylindrical portions and a stopper portion, a rotating member having a movable cylindrical portion which is rotatably assembled to the fixed cylindrical portion with a viscous fluid interposed between the movable cylindrical portion and the fixed cylindrical portions, and a pinion gear rotating integrally with the movable cylindrical portion, a heart cam member rotatable fitted around an outer periphery of an outwardly located one of the fixed cylindrical portion and the movable cylindrical portion, and a device interposed between the base member and the heart cam member and adapted to rotatably urge the heart cam member toward the stopper portion. The heart cam and damper unit is interposed between a main body portion and a movable portion which undergoes opening and closing action with respect to the main body portion and is constantly urged in an opening direction.

A coin case for an automobile includes: a casing to be attached to a vehicle end, the casing being formed with a plurality of independent cylindrical chambers to be sortingly loaded with a plural kind of coins; and a coin tray connected to a side end portion of the casing, the coin tray including a bottom wall having a curved surface in a direction toward the plurality of independent cylindrical chambers from a place where is far from the coin case.

Coin case for automobile

A cup holder for a vehicle includes a housing,fixed on the vehicle's side, a slide member,movably supported in the housing back and forth, and a holder body,provided with two holding hole,for holding cups and movably supported by the slide member,left and right. The holder body,has its rear part whose one side portion is cut away slantingly so that a width of the rear part is smaller than that of a front part of the holder body,. The cup holder further includes a tensile coil spring,between the slide member,and the holder body,, for urging the holder body,to one lateral direction of the slide member,by the spring,. Owing to the provision of the spring,, the handling of the holder body,can be completed under a little resistance, improving the manipulating feeling.
