An accelerator device having an organ structure includes: a pad configured to be pressed by a driver; a case configured to be attached to a vehicle body; an inside movable mechanism housed in the case; and an arm that passes through an opening formed in an outer wall of the case and connects the pad to the inside movable mechanism. The arm has a rectangle shape in a cross section. An entire circumference of the opening is surrounded by a protrusion protruding toward the pad. The protrusion includes an upper surface, and the upper surface has an inclination portion that slopes down rightward or leftward, when viewed from the pad.

DUAL DUROMETER SHIFT BOOT WITH PERFORMANCE SHIELD
20210164559 · 2021-06-03 ·

A vehicle gear shift assembly includes a gear shift lever. The vehicle gear shift assembly also includes a shift boot assembly that at least partially defines an interior section and receives a portion of the gear shift lever therethrough. The shift boot assembly includes a frame. The shift boot assembly also includes a flexible section formed of a material having a first durometer. The shift boot assembly further includes a protective shield operatively coupled to the frame and the flexible section, the protective shield formed of a material having a second durometer that is harder than the first durometer of the flexible section.

Vehicle pedal device

A vehicle pedal device includes: a pedal pad; a housing provided below the pedal pad and provided with a through-hole; a first link passing through the through-hole, a first end portion of the first link being rotatably connected to the pedal pad, a second end portion of the first link being disposed in the housing; a second link, a first end portion of the second link being rotatably connected to the second end portion of the first link, a second end portion of the second link being supported in the housing; a first urging member configured to urge the second link in a rotation direction in which the pedal pad is displaced upward; and a friction portion pressed against a pressed portion provided in the housing and configured to apply a rotation resistance to the second link.

COMPRESSIBLE SEAL FOR ROTATABLE AND TRANSLATABLE INPUT MECHANISMS
20210055696 · 2021-02-25 ·

An electronic device has a housing and a rotatable and translatable input mechanism. The housing has an aperture and the rotatable and translatable input mechanism has a shaft positioned at least partially within the aperture and a manipulation structure coupled to the shaft. The manipulation structure may be manipulated to rotationally and translationally move the shaft to provide rotational and translational input to the electronic device. A compressible seal is positioned in a gap between the housing and the rotatable and translatable input mechanism. The compressible seal may resist and/or prevent passage of contaminants into the aperture and/or obscure one or more internal components. The compressible seal may be configured to collapse or bend when the rotatable and translatable member translates.

OPERATING DEVICE AND HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE HAVING THE OPERATING DEVICE
20210092833 · 2021-03-25 ·

An operating device contains a cover plate having an opening, a rotatable operating element having an operating head on the cover plate, and a shaft running through the opening. Behind the cover plate and at a distance therefrom, there is a circuit board having an opening through which the shaft extends. The operating device includes a tube element which has a hollow-cylindrical base body that runs, between the cover plate and the shaft of the operating element, at least partially through the opening of the cover plate, and a radial inner side that forms, between the tube element and the shaft of the operating element, an inner flow channel that runs through the opening of the cover plate and past the opening of the circuit board, to protect the circuit board against extraneous substances which may enter the operating device through the opening of the cover plate.

BUTTON DEVICE AND TIMEPIECE
20210089072 · 2021-03-25 · ·

To prevent an erroneous operation and improve operability, a button device and a timepiece including the button device are provided. The button device includes: a cylindrical first guide protector 11 protruding from the lateral face of a wristwatch case 1; and a first button 12 disposed in the first guide protector 11 to be slidable inward and outward of the wristwatch case 1. The first button 12 includes a first button head 13 disposed in the first guide protector 11, and a first button shaft 15 passing through a first through hole 14 of the wristwatch case 1. The first button head 13 is inclined obliquely upward relative to the lateral face of the wristwatch case 1. The first guide protector 11 protects the outer periphery of the first button head 13, and this prevents accidental and erroneous operation of the first button 12. The first button head 13 is inclined obliquely upward relative to the lateral face of the wristwatch case 1, and this allows the user to easily place a fingertip on the outer end face of the first button head 13, and so improves the operability of the first button 12.
