Storage holder

An air-conditioning register includes a downstream fin, upstream fins, a coupling rod, a shut-off damper, an operation knob, a transmission shaft, an upstream universal joint, a downstream universal joint, and a transmission mechanism portion. The operation knob includes a rotation member. The upstream universal joint couples an upstream end of the transmission shaft to the shut-off damper. The downstream universal joint couples a downstream end of the transmission shaft to the rotation member. The transmission mechanism portion transmits swinging motion of the transmission shaft caused by sliding of the operation knob to the central upstream fins, and prevents swinging motion of the transmission shaft caused by operation of the operation knob to tilt the downstream fin from being transmitted to the central upstream fins.

An air conditioning register includes: a retainer, fins, a connecting plate and a drive mechanism; wherein: connecting pins of the fins are engaged with cam grooves provided in the connecting plate so that all fins are connected to the connecting plate, wherein: each of the cam grooves has a parallel blowing zone for bring adjacent fins into a parallel blowing mode, and has a diffusion blowing zone for bringing adjacent fins into a diffusion blowing mode; and the drive mechanism is provided with an allowing part which allows the connecting plate to move in the arrangement direction of the fins, while maintaining the zone where each connecting pin is positioned in each cam chamber in the parallel blowing zone, when the operation of tilting the fins is performed with the fin shafts as a fulcrum, and only when each connecting pin is in the parallel blowing zone.

Air conditioning register

A damper opening and closing device includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder that is disposed inside the outer cylinder, is supported movably relative to the outer cylinder and has a fluid passage therein, and a damper group that includes a plurality of dampers disposed in the fluid passage so that the fluid passage is openable and closable. The plurality of dampers are arranged in a circumferential direction of the fluid passage and disposed in the fluid passage in such a way that inner peripheral edges of the dampers are opposed to each other. The damper opening and closing device further includes an angle control unit configured to control the tilt angle of the damper in conjunction with movement of the inner cylinder relative to the outer cylinder.

Damper opening and closing device

A storage device includes a storage body having an opening and a lid for selectively opening and closing the opening of the storage body. The storage body has a light emitter and a power receiving portion connected to the light emitter. The lid has a power supplying portion, which is configured to supply power to the power receiving portion by the direct current resonance method. The light emitter emits light to interior of the storage body at a first luminance when the opening is closed by the lid. When the lid opens the opening so that the distance between the power receiving portion and the power supplying portion is reduced, the light emitter changes the luminance to a second luminance, which is different from the first luminance.

Light emitting interior product

A front defroster nozzle apparatus includes a retainer, and a guide fin. The retainer includes an inlet opening, an outlet port, and a retainer base. The retainer base is branched into two forked elements (i.e., first and second branches having a first outlet opening and a first inlet end and a second outlet opening and a second inlet end, respectively). The outlet port involving the first and second outlet openings has an outlet width of 400 mm or less that is larger than an opening width of the inlet opening. The first and second outlet openings have first and second opening widths being larger than first and second opening widths of the first and second inlet ends. The retainer base includes a throttled portion whose flow-passage cross-sectional area accounts for from 80% or less to 60% or more of a flow-passage cross-sectional area of the inlet opening.

Front defroster nozzle apparatus

An air conditioning register is provided that includes a case, a downstream fin, a specific upstream fin extending in a direction perpendicular to the downstream fin, and an operation knob. The specific upstream fin includes a fin main body pivotally supported by the case via an upstream fin shaft and a transmission body pivotally supported by the case via a pivot located further upstream than the upstream fin shaft. The fin main body and the transmission body are coupled to each other. The operation knob is mounted slidably on the downstream fin and includes a pair of fork portions sandwiching a transmission shaft portion of the transmission body therebetween. When the operation knob is operated to slide and thereby the transmission shaft portion is moved, the fin main body of the specific upstream fin is tilted.

Each fin shaft of auxiliary fins passes through each of upper and lower bearing parts in a first wall part. A pair of transmission shafts provided for the upper and lower fin shafts is arranged outside of the first wall part. A cam member is rotationally arranged outside of the first wall part. A fin shaft of a main fin is rotationally supported by the first wall part. The fin shaft of the main fin has an arm and a transmission shaft. The cam member has cam holes in which the transmission shafts of the upper auxiliary fin are fitted, cam holes in which the transmission shafts of the lower auxiliary fin are fitted, and a long hole in which the transmission shaft of the fin shaft of the main fin is fitted.

Register for air conditioning

An air conditioning register includes a downstream fin, primary upstream fins, a secondary upstream fin, and an operation knob slidably attached onto the downstream fin. The operation knob sandwiches a shaft of the secondary upstream fin. The air conditioning register has a link mechanism that includes arms and a coupling rod. The arms extend from pivots of the primary and secondary upstream fins in a direction orthogonal to the pivots, and have a pin at the tip of the arms. The coupling rod couples the respective pins. The distance between the pivot and the pin in the arm of the secondary upstream fin is longer than the distance between the pivot and the pin in the arm of each primary upstream fin. The coupling rod includes coupling portions, each of which couples the pins of an adjacent pair of the arms. Adjacent coupling portions are pivotally coupled.

To provide a glove box that can cause an inner case to operate to open obliquely downward while suppressing large change in the center of gravity in the up-down direction. A mechanism for guiding opening/closing operation of the inner case in the glove box is composed of two types of mechanisms: i.e., a slide mechanism including a guide shaft and a slide guide portion; and a link mechanism including a link member. The inner case is guided in the front-rear direction by the slide mechanism, and a rear portion of the inner case is guided so as to swing downward by the link mechanism.

Glove box

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

An automobile airbag door is formed by a door base member, a door cover member, and a tear line. The door base member and the door cover member form a part of a base member and a part of a cover member of an instrument panel, respectively. When pressed by an airbag being deployed and inflated, the door base member is torn from the tear line. The first zone is defined as the bonded part between the outer surface of the door base member and the door cover member which extends along the tear line and includes a part on which the tear line is projected. The second zones are on both sides of the first zone and extend along the tear line. The automobile airbag door has a mechanism that makes the bond strength in the first zone weaker than the bond strength in each second zone.
