| 20110233945 | VEHICLE DOOR HANDLE APPARATUS - A vehicle handle apparatus is provided with: a handle base fixed to a door of a vehicle; an operation handle rotatably connected to the handle base; and a relay lever which is rotatably connected to the handle base, and which is driven to rotate around a pivot by operating the operation handle. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110226025 | STEERING LOCK DEVICE - In a steering lock device, a lever extending along an axial direction of a key rotor is provided between a housing and a key cylinder. A pivot-point portion protruded toward the key cylinder is provided on the lever. The lever swings about the pivot-point portion as its swing center in a radial direction of the key cylinder in a state where the pivot-point portion contacts with a pivot-point receive portion on the key cylinder. Then the lever is displaced in the radial direction of the key rotor with its end portion as its pivot point. According to the steering lock device, a pin as a swing center is not required, and locking/unlocking the lock member can be controlled by the lever along with insertion/removal of the key. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20110167885 | STEERING LOCK DEVICE - A steering lock device includes a main frame, a lock insertion hole formed on the main frame, a lock member slidably disposed in the lock insertion hole, a pin insertion portion formed on the lock member, a stopper housing portion formed on the main frame, a stopper pin housed in the stopper housing portion, and a trigger detachably disposed on the main frame. The stopper pin is urged toward a latch position by a stopper, and engaged, in a state of positioning at the latch position, with the pin insertion portion of the lock member positioning at the lock position. The trigger holds, in a state of being attached on the main frame, the stopper pin at an unlatch position by contacting with the stopper pin. First stepped portions for engaging with the stopper pin positioning at the latch position are disposed in a side of the unlock position, around an opening of the stopper housing portion and on a wall surface of the lock insertion hole facing to the opening. Since the lock member is firmly held at the lock position by the stopper pin even if a cover or a coil spring urging the lock member is removed, an improper unlock of the lock member can be prevented. | 07-14-2011 |

According to the steering lock device, it can be made difficult to unlock a steering shaft through an improper act, and thereby superior antitheft performance can be brought. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110154617 | DOOR HANDLE APPARATUS - A door handle apparatus is provided with: a handle base ( | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110132048 | STEERING LOCK DEVICE - A steering lock device includes a lock member that is slidable between a lock position and an unlock position, and a slider that is disposed slidably in a direction perpendicular to a moving direction of the lock member. A sloped portion that is linearly sloped toward the steering shaft along a slide direction of the slider is provided on at least one of the lock member and the slider. The lock member is shifted between the lock position and the unlock position by the sloped portion in response to sliding of the slider. According to the steering lock device, downsizing can be brought due to its short height along a stroke direction of the lock member and cost reduction by commoditization of its main components can be achieved. | 06-09-2011 |
