An end edge of a roof lining is engaged in a roof lining engaging groove extending along a side surface of an upper end portion of a pillar garnish at a side of a pillar, thereby eliminating a gap in a connecting portion between the pillar garnish and the roof lining to improve the appearance. Airbag deployment guide walls extend to an outside of a vehicle compartment from an upper end of a roof lining engaging groove at the side of the pillar, and an airbag module is disposed at a position sandwiched by the pillar and the roof lining, above the airbag deployment guide walls. Therefore, an inflating airbag is guided to the side of the vehicle compartment so as not to be caught by the upper end of the pillar garnish and can be deployed into the vehicle compartment by reliably pressing to open the roof lining, without providing a special guide member.

A flat belt (2), which is made of elastomeric material (46a, 46b), is made up of a first partial belt (2a) and a second partial belt (2b). The first partial belt (2a) is reinforced with a reinforcement layer (4) made up of cords. A layer separation which is to be feared theoretically is to be reliably avoided and the bonding of the belt material to the reinforcement layer (4) is to be optimized. The first belt part (2a) is provided with slots (44) with the aid of mold drum winding-projections (42); the second belt part (2b) defines a filling of the slots (44) of the first belt part (2a). Preferably, the reinforcement layer (4) is positioned centrally in the neutral bending plane of the finished flat belt (2). The first belt part (2a) and the second belt part (2b) can be made of different elastomeric materials (46a, 46b). Also, at least one of the two surfaces of the belt (2) can be coated and/or provided with a longitudinal profile or transverse profile.

A buckle apparatus includes an insertion control subassembly press-operating an ejector when a pair of tongue parts are simultaneously inserted into a buckle body for allowing insertion up to an engaging position between the respective tongue parts and an engaging member while regulating the press operation by posture tilting of the ejector when only one tongue part is inserted. The insertion control subassembly includes a frame member having a guide rail part reciprocatively slidingly guiding the ejector along the direction of the press operation while including a stopper part separably coming into contact with the ejector in posture tilting from an insertion allowing posture for regulating movement in the direction of the press operation on the guide rail part.

A motor drive apparatus for a vehicle is provided which can prevent its transmission and motor from being rotated by vehicle wheels, and which allows quick gear change. This apparatus includes an electric motor (10), a first shaft (21) driven by the electric motor (10), a second shaft (22), first and second reduction gear trains (23 and 24) disposed between the first and second shafts (21 and 22). Two-way roller clutches (30A and 30B) are mounted between a first output gear (23b) of the first reduction gear train (23) and the second shaft (22) and between a second output gear (24b) of the second reduction gear train (24) and the second shaft (22), respectively. Gear changes are made by selectively engaging and disengaging the two-way roller clutches (30A and 30B) with a speed changing mechanism (50).

A one-way power transmission unit has force-fitting means formed on at least one of an outer circumference of a boss of a driving member and an inner circumference of a boss hole of a latch member, for force-fitting the driving member into the latch member with a friction which is less than a load exerted to a driven member. A method of one-way power transmission including, inter alia, force-fitting the driving member into the latch member with a friction which is less than a load exerted to a driven member. Since the latch member force-fits over the boss of the driving member, the driving member and the latch member rotate together with each other when the driving member switches from a driving force disconnection state to a driving force connection state, and thus, engagement of latch gears of the driving member and the latch member is reliably achieved. Accordingly, the time interval between switching from the driving force disconnection state to the connection state can be maintained to be essentially constant.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an opening/closing device which can be produced simple in construction and reduce the surface pressure of its cam portions, and a mobile phone which can be reduced in cost and sufficiently reliable in the hinged members by using the opening/closing device. In the opening/closing device operable to rotate the second member (30) with respect to the first member (20) hingedly connected the second member (30) in an opening operation direction by operating first and second rotation cams (160, 140), and a movable cam (150) held in engagement with the second rotation cam (140) in response to the displacement of the operation cam (130), the second rotation cam (140) and the movable cam (150) have a plurality of kinds of end cam portions ((142, 153), (143, 154)) formed thereon at different radiuses (r1, r2) from the guide center axis (110c) in opposing relationship with each other, the urging direction of the urging means (170) to the second member (30) is changed by the end cam portions ((142, 153), (143, 154)) when the operation cam (130) is operated to cause the first rotation cam (160) to be rotated from the predetermined operation starting position.

A connector in which a housing and a retainer are coupled with sufficient strength when the connector is reduced in scale. In this connector, provisional anchoring pieces and main anchoring pieces are provided at two end portions of an inner peripheral wall of an insertion hole formed in the housing, with lengths along a direction that intersects a direction of insertion of the retainer into the insertion hole. At outer sides of two end portions of the retainer, anchorage pawls, which are formed to be engageable with the main anchoring pieces and the provisional anchoring pieces, are provided with lengths along the intersecting direction. With this structure, when the retainer is inserted into the insertion hole of the housing, the anchorage pawls engage, at two end portions of the connector, with the provisional anchoring pieces and with the main anchoring pieces.

A container suitable for storing and transporting hazardous materials such as alkali wet cell batteries in an aviation environment includes a container body and a hinged lid made of cross linked polyethylene, latches, and a triple tongue-in-groove seal around the rim of the container opening. The triple tongue-in-groove seal includes two smaller tongue-in-groove seals with a larger tongue-in-groove seal disposed therebetween. The larger tongue-in-groove structure provides structural strength to help prevent the lid from skewing when the container suffers stress such as an impact at a corner, and also helps to guide the lid and base into proper alignment when the lid is being closed. The smaller tongue-in-groove seals provide double redundant sealing to help contain hazardous materials inside the container without making the rim of the container excessively wide.
