20130087649 | WEBBING RETRACTOR - A webbing retractor that can alleviate the load on a reducing balance spring without increasing cost and weight is obtained. When a ring inertially rotates in a retraction direction together with a ratchet gear, a ring-side pressing portion of a load receiving portion accommodating portion formed in the ring presses a spring-side load receiving portion of a clutch spring in the retraction direction. Due to this, the clutch spring is loosened, whereby the ring can easily inertially rotate in the retraction direction together with the ratchet gear, and the load acting on a reducing balance spring can be alleviated. | 04-11-2013 |
20130091972 | SHIFT DEVICE - In a shift lever device, operation of a shift lever to a “P” shift position is allowed when electric-power is not supplied to a solenoid in a state where the shift lever has been operated to a shift position other than the “P” shift position. Moreover, operation of the shift lever from the “P” shift position is regulated when electric-power is not supplied to a lock solenoid in a state where the shift lever has been operated to the “P” shift position. Therefore, in a case where the shift position of the shift lever is other than the “P” shift position when electric-power is not supplied to the solenoid and the lock solenoid, operation of the shift lever from the “P” shift position can be regulated by operating the shift lever to the “P” shift position, and the shift lever can be placed in the “P” shift position. | 04-18-2013 |
20130120865 | VEHICLE MIRROR DEVICE - In a vehicle door mirror device, when a fitting recess portion and a fitting protrusion portion fit, a gap is formed between an orthogonal face and an opposing face due to a fitting recess portion and a fitting protrusion portion contacting along case rotating direction. Accordingly, even when the fitting protrusion portion wears and external shape becomes smaller, the fitting recess portion and the fitting protrusion portion are contacted and fitted until the gap disappears. The gap is set larger than a gap between a visor and a stay. Therefore, the fitting recess portion and the fitting protrusion portion contact along the case rotating direction even when the visor contacts the stay, due to presence of the gap. Accordingly, even when the visor contacting the stay is taken as useful life indicator of the device, rattling of the visor against the stay can be suppressed at this stage. | 05-16-2013 |
20130126658 | WEBBING TAKE-UP DEVICE - An acceleration sensor of a webbing take-up device is provided with a sensor housing in which a spherical body is placed. A rotating shaft is formed at a longitudinal wall of a support wall of the sensor housing, and rotatably supported at a shaft receiving hole formed in a hanger support wall. A position of formation of the rotating shaft is set to be upward relative to a center of gravity of the sensor housing whose state where a sensor lever is installed at the support wall and the spherical body is placed on a curved-surface of a placing portion. Consequently, even without a heavy body being attached at the lower side of the spherical body or the lower side of the sensor housing, the sensor housing rotates responsively when the take-up device main body is tilted. Therefore, the acceleration sensor can be reduced in size. | 05-23-2013 |
20130147585 | SOLENOID AND SHIFT DEVICE - In a solenoid, a coil is energized in a state where movement of a plunger toward the inside of a yoke is stopped. Accordingly, when the coil is energized, it suffice that movement of the plunger toward the outside of the yoke is inhibited by a magnetic force, and it is not necessary to move the plunger into the yoke by the magnetic force. Therefore, it is not necessary that a force moving the plunger toward the inside of the yoke is increased by a conventional core. Accordingly, the conventional core is not assembled in a frame, so that number of components can be decreased so as to reduce the cost. | 06-13-2013 |
20130161437 | WEBBING TAKE-UP DEVICE - In a reclining sensor of a webbing take-up device, when a case turns together with a seat back that tilts towards the seat rear, rotation of a pulley is restricted by a pressing tab of an operation plate. Accordingly, when relative rotation of the pulley occurs with respect to the case, a wire is pulled out from another end of a tube, turning a sensor housing of an acceleration sensor. The wire pulled out from the other end of the tube is wound up onto a winding portion that is an outer peripheral portion of the pulley that rotates. Since the pulley that pulls the wire merely rotates about its center of rotation, the inside of the case is sufficient as long as rotation range of the pulley is secured, enabling a reduction in size of the case. | 06-27-2013 |
20130174390 | BUCKLE DEVICE - Foreign objects that have entered inside an insertion body are suppressed from reaching a detector side. In a buckle device, when a tongue plate is attached, an ejector slides downwards inside a buckle body, opening a through hole in a partitioning wall of a lower cover at the upper side. A main body portion of a slider member of a buckle switch is inserted into the through hole, closing off a portion of the through hole that has been opened by the ejector. Hence it is suppressed that foreign objects discharged through an insertion through hole in the buckle body to outside the buckle body pass through the through hole and reach the buckle switch side further than the partitioning wall. | 07-11-2013 |
20130200195 | WEBBING TAKE-UP DEVICE - A length direction base end side of a wire passes through a retaining spring mounting hole formed in a case, and is anchored to an anchor tag that is indirectly retained by a pulley. A spring is provided in the retaining spring mounting hole, and a base end of a tube is retained to the spring through a metal cylinder body. A spring-side step portion of the spring is pressed contact to a mounting portion-side step portion of the retaining spring mounting hole so the spring is retained. When the tube is pulled towards an opening side of the retaining spring mounting hole, the spring moves and the spring-side step portion makes press contact with, and is once again retained, by a different step of the mounting portion-side step portion. | 08-08-2013 |
