20100176641 | VEHICLE SEATS - According to this invention, there are provided a stopper stopping forward pivoting of a seat back at the position of a forwardly tilted state, a stopper operation mechanism, a reclining mechanism switching the seat back between a free state in which it can be pivoted with respect to a seat cushion and a lock state in which it cannot be pivoted with respect thereto, a reclining lever, and a connection lever. Through operation of operation levers the seat back is placed in the free state via the stopper operation mechanism, the connection lever, and the reclining lever, and the stopper is moved via the stopper operation mechanism. And, between the stopper operation mechanism and the reclining lever is provided a retention mechanism that retains the stopper at a position to which the stopper is moved. | 07-15-2010 |
20100207440 | VEHICLE SEATS - A vehicle seat can include a stopper capable of stopping a forward tilting of a seat back at a forwardly tilted position, and a stopper operation mechanism. The stopper operation mechanism has a main pivoting member that is pivoted through an operation of a forward tilting operation lever, a sub pivoting member that is pivoted with respect to the main pivoting member, and a connection spring connecting these tilting members to each other. When the forward tilting operation lever is operated, the sub pivoting member receives a force from the connection spring to be pivoted together with the main pivoting member, causing the stopper to move to an acting position. When the stopper is pushed from the acting position toward a non-acting position, with the forward tilting operation lever being operated, the sub pivoting member receives a force from the stopper to elastically deform the connection spring, and is pivoted with respect to the main pivoting member together with the stopper. | 08-19-2010 |

20100282070 | FIXED DISPLACEMENT PISTON COMPRESSOR - A compressor includes a rotary shaft, a swash plate, a cylinder block, plural pistons, a crank chamber, a housing, plural passages, a thrust bearing, and an anti-rotation mechanism. The crank chamber accommodates therein the swash plate, and refrigerant of suction pressure is introduced into the crank chamber. The housing is connected to the cylinder block and forms therein a suction chamber and a discharge chamber. The plural passages are provided for communication between the crank chamber and the suction chamber. The thrust bearing is provided between the swash plate and the cylinder block so as to receive thrust load from the swash plate. The thrust bearing has a thrust race located adjacent to the cylinder block. The anti-rotation mechanism is provided for preventing relative rotation of the thrust race to the cylinder block. The anti-rotation mechanism restricts the fluid flow through a specific passage of the plural passages. | 11-11-2010 |
20120237369 | CYLINDER BLOCK OF PISTON-TYPE COMPRESSOR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A cylinder block of a piston-type compressor includes a main cylinder block, a shaft hole formed through the main cylinder block, a plurality of cylinder bores formed in the main cylinder block around the shaft hole, a separation wall formed integrally with the main cylinder block and closing one end of the cylinder bore, a first hole formed through the separation wall and a second hole formed linearly and connecting the cylinder bore and the shaft hole. The first hole is formed so that the first hole is located on an extended line of axis Q of the second hole and the diameter of the first hole is equal to or more than that of the second hole. | 09-20-2012 |
