An integrated hinge for connecting an article of a furniture assembly to one or more articles or a main body of the furniture assembly comprising a multi-rod rigid structure and a flexible membrane. The multi-rod rigid structure comprises two or more rods arranged in a default shape, wherein each of the rods functions as a hinge arm, and wherein the rods are lateral-rotatable or pivot-able about an intersecting or meeting point of the rods. The flexible membrane has a three-dimensional contour configured to wrap around the multi-rod rigid structure tightly, fixing the multi-rod rigid structure in its default shape. The flexible membrane can be configured to wrap around the integrated hinge and articles of furniture assembly forming a single integrated furniture piece. The elasticity in the flexible membrane turns the integrated hinge into a spring hinge.

The present disclosure relates to a field of door/window hardware accessories, in particular to a door/window pulley, a pulley device, and a door/window. The present disclosure provides a bearing and an anti-deformation metal ring that can be in contact with a track, the anti-deformation metal ring uses its own rigidity to effectively avoid generating indentation, and the door/window pulley is also difficult to be pressed to cause deformation. Moreover, an inner part of an injection molded body is disposed between the bearing and the anti-deformation metal ring, which not only well transfers pressure bore by the anti-deformation metal ring when load-bearing to the bearing, but also restores the anti-deformation metal ring after slight deformation by giving an outward elastic support to the anti-deformation metal ring using elasticity of the injection molded body.

A sensor unit manufacturing method includes: a core metal insertion process of inserting a core metal member having a length dimension smaller than a length dimension of a core metal accommodation portion into a predetermined location (a section of a curving portion) extending along a longitudinal direction of the core metal accommodation portion; and a bending process of bending the section (the section of the curving portion) of a fixation base portion, into which the core metal member is inserted, following a curved shape of a sensor bracket.

To provide a window regulator and a method of assembling the same, capable of easily applying grease to a wire facing surface of a guide rail, the window regulator includes: a guide rail extending in an operation direction of a window glass; a slider installed to the window glass and guided along the operation direction on the guide rail; and a wire configured to drive the slider along the operation direction with respect to the guide rail, wherein the guide rail has a wire facing surface facing the wire along the operation direction, and the slider has a grease application portion for applying grease along the operation direction on the wire facing surface.

A vehicle mechanism is provided. The vehicle mechanism may include a stationary member including a main portion provided with an offset surface region including a bearing-surface region having non-planar regions. The mechanism may also include a moveable member that may be configured to move with respect to the stationary member. The moveable member may include a mating-bearing-surface region that may be configured to engage the bearing-surface region of the stationary member. A coating may be provided on the main portion and the bearing-surface region. The coating on the main portion may have a first thickness and the coating on the bearing-surface region may have a second thickness. The second thickness may be least 20% greater than the first thickness.

To provide a window regulator and a method of assembling the same, capable of easily supplying grease to a slider shoe and a support portion of a guide rail, the window regulator includes: a guide rail extending in an operation direction of a window glass; and a slider installed to the window glass and guided along the operation direction on the guide rail. The slider has a slider shoe configured to support at least a part of the guide rail, and a grease injection hole configured to inject grease into an internal space of the slider shoe.

A hinged component fabrication method in which, in a layup stage of fabrication, the component includes a live hinge joining uncured material portions together at a hinge region and comprising a layer of tensile fabric at least partially infiltrated by an uncured elastomer layer at least partially interposed between the tensile fabric and the uncured material portions such that the uncured elastomer blocks the uncured material portions from infiltrating the hinge region. The method may include locating overlapped tensile fabric and elastomer layers in a tool and introducing polymer-based material into the tool such that polymer-based material portions overlap respective opposite ends of the fabric and elastomer layers. The polymer-based material portions are formed to a desired shape using the forming tool so that the fabric and elastomer layers form a live hinge between the polymer-based material portions.

A cable includes a core with a plurality of first wires made of carbon steel and a plurality of strands surrounding the core. Each strand includes a plurality of second wires made of stainless steel. The cable has a maximum cross-sectional dimension less than 2 millimeters.

In a wire regulator, a slider has a metal portion and a resin portion. The resin portion covers part of a front surface and a back surface of the metal portion, and forms a rainwater guide portion having an eave, the rainwater guide portion reducing entrance of rainwater into a lifting wire end housing portion, a lowering wire end housing portion, and a groove portion. A slit is provided at the resin portion at at least one of a front surface or a back surface of the slider.

A structure body having a resin molded body which can suppress deterioration of external appearance due to meander of the folded line formed in the hinge portion even when the resin constituting the resin molded body contains an inorganic fiber. The structure body has a resin molded body and the resin molded body includes: a first main body portion and a second main body portion; and a hinge portion; wherein the first main body portion and the second main body portion are connected at the hinge portion with each other so as to be rotatable with respect to each other; the hinge portion comprises a first thin portion, a second thin portion, and a thick portion.
