A grille shutter device selectively opening and closing a grille opening in the front grille of a vehicle. The grille shutter device includes a fin, a motor, a transmission mechanism, a first switch, and a second switch. The fin has a support shaft, which is rotatably supported by the front grille. When supplied with electricity, the motor rotates its output shaft in one direction. The transmission mechanism converts the rotation of the output shaft to a swinging motion of the fin, thereby swinging the fin between a closed position, where the fin closes the grille opening, and an open position, where the fin opens the grille opening. When the fin is swung to the closed position, the first switch stops the motor. When the fin is swung to the open position, the second switch stops the motor.

Grille shutter device

A wheel for vehicle includes a wheel body, a decorated member, and a visible space. The wheel body has a rim, a hub, and a plurality of spokes connecting the hub and the rim. The decorated member is made from resin, is disposed on a surface of at least one of the spokes, and is retained to the wheel body. The visible space is disposed between the decorated member and the one of the spokes at least, exhibits a height in an axial direction of the wheel body, and is visible from an axial outer side of the wheel body.

Wheel for vehicle

Luminous surfacesof a concave-convex shape are formed on a light guide memberof a scuff plate, and a screen membermade of a non-transparent material is disposed between the light guide memberand a wire harnessof the scuff plate. The light guide memberluminously displays a design in a three-dimensional manner, and also the wire harnesswill not be visually recognized through the light guide member, and therefore the design is enhanced.

Scuff plate

An injection molding apparatus includes a forming mold provided with a gas inlet through which a gas is introduced into an area between a rear molding surface in a cavity and a resin material inside the cavity. A plurality of the gas inlets is provided along a passage direction of the resin material in the cavity. In injection molding the resin molded article, a molten resin material is introduced into the cavity from a resin inlet and, when filling the inside of the cavity with the resin material, the introduction of the gas is sequentially started, beginning with a gas inlet provided in an area inside the cavity which is first filled with the resin material, thereby sequentially pressing the relevant resin material against a front molding surface of the cavity.

The degree of freedom in design is increased while maintaining strength by enabling a decorative member to be disposed without thinning a wheel main body. A wheel is made up of a wheel main bodywhich is made up of a rim portionand a disc portionand which has a vent holein the disc portionand a decorative membermade from a resin which is held in at least the disc portionand is observed from the vent hole. Since the decorative memberis observed in the vent hole, the wheel main bodyincluding spoke portionsdoes not have to be thinned. In addition, since the design of the decorative member is observed in cooperation with the design of the disc portion, the degree of freedom in design is increased.

Vehicle wheel

The objective of the present invention is to provide a display device that presents great decorative effects. For a display device that provides a luminous display consisting of characters, numbers, symbols or figures, or arbitrary combinations of them, having a desired form, a half mirror layer is formed above a mirror surface, through a translucent layer, and a desired form is luminously displayed at a location between the mirror surface and the half mirror layer and at a distance from the mirror surface.

Display device

A side moulding which is readily manufactured and mounted on an exterior side surface of a body or door of a motor vehicle, and is free from the generation of noise during the running of the motor vehicle or upon the opening and closing of the door of the motor vehicle. The side moulding includes a main body, clips for mounting the main body to the body or door of the motor vehicle, and cushion members provided in a rear surface of the main body. Each of the cushion members includes a cushion part for achieving a cushioning operation against the main body, and the body or door of the motor vehicle, and a fitting part for fitting to each of rib parts provided in the rear surface of the main body.

Side moulding for motor vehicle

Extrusion molding is performed while the extrusion molding is regulated from the skin layer side so that the foaming capacity of a portion opposite to a surface of a reinforcement portion of an insert having at least one gap portion is smaller than the foaming capacity of a portion where the gap portion is filled with the foam layer when a foamable resin is foamed.

Extrusion molding provided with insert and method of producing the same

A thermoplastic olefin elastomer molded article has a sealant contact portion coming into contact with a urethane sealant and is substantially made of thermoplastic olefin elastomer. At least the sealant contact surface of the sealant contact portion is made of a polyvinyl chloride layer or a thermoplastic polyurethane layer. At least the portion of the molded article adjoining the polyvinyl chloride layer or the thermoplastic polyurethane layer is made of a chlorinated thermoplastic olefin elastomer which is obtained by replacing part or the whole of the non-rigid phase of a thermoplastic olefin elastomer with chlorinated polyethylene and is capable of thermal fusion bonding to the polyvinyl chloride layer or the thermoplastic polyurethane layer.
