PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seat for a vehicle allowing reduction of cost and substantially horizontally keeping of an armrest, even if a seat back is rotated forward and backward, by a simple support mechanism. SOLUTION: This support mechanism 17 comprises a first shaft part 11 constituted by vertically and rotatably journaling the armrest 4 to the seat back 3, a second shaft part 13 constituted by being rotatably journaled to the armrest 4 on a front side FR from the first shaft part 11 at a using position B of the armrest 4, and a link 14 constituted by rotatably journaling one end part 14a to the second shaft part 13 and constituted by slidably engaging the other end part 14b to a third shaft part 15 constituted by rotatably journaling the seat back 3 in the longitudinal direction.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mounting area of a lightweight and corrosion resistant transistor (IGBT) module not taking the space, and to provide a power assembly and an inductor in which wire bond breakage in a transistor module due to vibration is prevented while coping with the life, maintainability and weight, by absorbing the heat generated by core loss due to a cooler.SOLUTION: A power assembly includes a film capacitor, and a plastic cooler 10, i.e., a cooling device attached to the film capacitor. The cooling device includes an electronic component operating as a heat sink for the film capacitor to form fluid channels 12, 13 for circulating a cooling fluid through the cooling device, and being cooled with the cooling fluid circulating through the cooling device attached thereto. The cooling device comprises a plastic material.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To assist a passenger of a vehicle in locating a flexible component at night.SOLUTION: A trim component for a vehicle includes a flexible component, and at least a portion of the flexible component is translucent or transparent, allowing light to pass therethrough. The flexible component can also include an opaque portion. The trim component may be a tambour door of a center console or other storage area, a gear shift closeout, or a steering column closeout. The flexible component includes a plurality of slate pieces and a substrate coupling the slate pieces. The center console includes a light source directing light through the translucent portion of the tambour door. The slate pieces are formed from polypropylene or polycarbonate acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and the substrate is formed from thermoplastic polyurethane or a thermoplastic elastomer.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet for a vehicle that has improved assemblability of biasing means.SOLUTION: A sheet for a vehicle includes: a rotation control mechanism 13 for supporting a sheet cushion 3 at a seating position and a storage position in a manner capable of rising/falling; a leg 18 that can rise and fall between the seating position and the storage position; a cable 21 that can pull the leg 18 to the storage position; and biasing means 22 that constantly biases the leg 18 in the direction of a development position. The rotation control mechanism 13 includes links 24 and 25 that have a rotation center on a floor 15 side and are pivotally supported to freely rotate on a sheet cushion 3 side.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seat slide position detection device for a vehicle which stabilizes the accuracy of detecting the seat slide position despite the vibrations caused by the run of the vehicle.SOLUTION: A seat slide position detection device 1 for a vehicle includes: a detected portion 5 disposed in a predetermined area of a fixed rail 3 in the longitudinal direction; and a position sensor 7 attached to a movable rail 4 and having a sensor detector 6 in a position opposed to the detected portion 5. The position sensor 7 includes a protrusion 8 attached to the movable rail 4 with a tip portion 8a of the protrusion in contact with the movable rail.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat exchanger for use in a vapor compression system.SOLUTION: A heat exchanger includes a shell 76, a first tube bundle 78, a hood 86, and a distributor 80. The first tube bundle 78 includes a plurality of tubes extending substantially horizontally in the shell 76. The hood 86 covers the first tube bundle 78. The distributor 80 is configured and positioned to distribute fluid onto at least one tube among the plurality of tubes.
