WIRE HARNESS

A wire harness including: a wire harness main body that includes an electric wire and an exterior tube that covers an outer circumferential surface of the electric wire; a first path restrictor that is attached to an outer circumferential surface of the exterior tube and is configured to restrict a path of the wire harness main body; and an attachment that is attached to an outer circumferential surface of a portion of the first path restrictor in a lengthwise direction thereof.

Auto-lock assembly

A steering roll connector configured to operatively engage a steering column. The steering roll connector may comprise a roll stator and a roll rotor telescoped in and rotatable with the roll stator. The roll rotor may have a wall and a surface, and the wall may define an opening for receiving the steering column. A slide may be supported by and movable on the surface from an unengaged position to an engaged position where the slide is positioned to engage and prevent the relative rotation between the roll rotor and roll stator. A spring may operatively engage the slide to causes it to be in the engaged position. When the steering column is received in the opening, a lever arm may operatively engage and pull the slide to the unengaged position.

STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY

A motor vehicle steering wheel assembly may include a ring-shaped member comprising a slot and an internal recess, wherein the slot and internal recess extend circumferentially about the ring-shaped member, the slot being provided in a surface of the ring-shaped member and forming an aperture into the internal recess; a support portion configured to be coupled to a vehicle support structure, the support portion extending through the slot; and a guide portion coupled to the support portion, the guide portion being slidably disposed in the internal recess such that the ring-shaped member is rotatable.

SEAT MODULE

A seat module adapted to be attached to a seat having mechanical parts and electric devices for seat operation in a motor vehicle includes at least one operating cable for activating at least one device, and a module plate formed with a mounting feature for attaching to the seat and a retention feature for attaching the at least one operating cable. An end portion of the operating cable is temporarily stowed on the module plate in a pre-assembled state where the operating cable is attached to the module plate, and the end portion of the operating cable is connected to the electric devices and/or mechanical parts of the seat in an assembled state where the module plate with the retained operating cables is securely mounted to the seat.

A link mechanism is provided between a first member and a second member to effect a bending/stretching motion in operative association with a telescopic expanding/contracting motion of the first member and the second member. A supporting mechanism is provided to support, to the link mechanism, a wire having flexibility and connected between a first device on the side of the first member and a second device on the side of the second member. The supporting mechanism fixes the wire to each link member of the link mechanism in position so that the wire is deformed while maintaining its state following a shape of the link mechanism in operative association with the bending/stretching motion of the link mechanism.

CURVATURE RESTRICTING MEMBER AND POWER SUPPLY DEVICE

Provided is a curvature restricting member, allowing for a curvature of the wire harness in a predetermined allowable direction, and regulating the curvature of the wire harness in a regulating direction beyond a predetermined limit state or more, the curvature restricting member includes: a plurality of member pieces arranged along the wire harness; a flexible connecting portion connecting adjacent ones of the plurality of member pieces to each other, wherein the curvature is allowed in the allowable direction by adjacent ones among the plurality of member pieces at the curbed portions separating from each other on the side opposite to the connecting portion and the connection portion bending, and wherein the curvature is not allowed in the restricting direction beyond the limit state by adjacent ones among the plurality of member pieces at the curbed portion abutting against each other on the side opposite to the connecting portion.

POWER SUPPLY DEVICE

Provided is a power supply device capable of suppressing bulge of a wire harness toward a vehicle body when a slide door is half-opened. The power supply device is provided with a wire harness arranged between a vehicle body and a slide door, a portion of the wire harness on the vehicle body side extending in the closing direction of the slide door when the slide door is half-opened, and a door side coil spring (a biasing part) for biasing a portion of the wire harness on the slide door side in the biasing direction pressing against the slide door on the closing direction side of the slide door in order to suppress a curvature convex toward the inside of the vehicle body at the time of half-opening of the slide door.

Clock spring steering wheel power assembly

The present invention is directed to systems for providing a pathway for at least one electrical conductor to supply current from a vehicle or marine craft power source to a steering wheel comprising at least one working element for heating or controls. The present invention utilizes a clock spring assembly inside a channel created by a housing mount and a housing base and encased in a housing cover for infinite rotation of the steering wheel while still maintaining a path for current to travel through the clock spring to the wheel.
