A tray moving mechanism includes: a unit base having an internal space formed as a containing space; and a tray movable between a retracted position in which the unit base is contained in the containing space and a projected position in which a music player formed in a substantially rectangular shape can be placed on the tray and in which a part of the tray is projected from the base unit, wherein the tray is moved with respect to the unit base such that the orientations of the tray with respect to the unit base in the retracted and projected positions are substantially 90 deg different from each other.

Tray moving mechanism and in-vehicle audio apparatus

A reproducing apparatus, in which a disc insertion slot of car audio equipment can be opened and closed by a shutter member to prevent foreign substances, dust and the like from entering the disc insertion slot and in which a liquid crystal display portion is covered with the shutter member to turn off the illumination when driving at night. The reproducing apparatus includes a disc insertion slot in a front panel and a liquid crystal display portion below the disc insertion slot, in which a shutter board for opening and closing the disc insertion slot is provided on the front surface of the front panel and when the disc insertion slot is open, the liquid crystal display portion is covered with the shutter board to turn off the illumination of the liquid crystal display portion.

Reproducing apparatus

The present invention provides a gate apparatus for injection molding, that enables injection-molding moldings having a relatively small height and forming a plurality of cavities in an associated injection-molding die, the number of the cavities being greater than that of the cavities of the conventional injection-molding die of the same size. The gate assembly comprises an injection-molding die having a female die provided with a cavity, a down gate having an upper cylindrical portion, a middle taper portion and a lower small cylindrical hole formed in the lower end of the middle taper portion, and a cross gate formed through a wall separating the cavity and the lower small cylindrical hole; and a nozzle chip having a lower taper portion of a shape conforming to the middle taper portion of the down gate. The nozzle chip is provided with an axial projection axially projecting from the lower end of the lower taper portion, and a conical projection laterally projecting from the lower end of the axial projection. The nozzle chip is inserted in the down gate so that the conical projection is positioned near and opposite to the cross gate.
