A tray for use in an automobile which is fitted on its underside with folding legs, of a size when extended to mount the tray on the floor inside a vehicle over the hump of the transmission shaft. The legs are each fitted with a projecting bracket which supports the ends of the tray in the extended position of the legs, with said brackets shaped to fit about the hump of a transmission shaft when the legs are folded so that the tray may rest directly on the said hump.

In an automobile headlamp, a light source unit in a lamp body is inclined vertically and horizontally with an aiming mechanism, the rotating operation sections of a vertical aiming screw and a horizontal aiming screw which form the aiming mechanism are provided outside of the lamp body, and the rotating operation sections are turned to incline the light source unit vertically and horizontally. In the automobile headlamp, a protruding wall is extended at least at the horizontal aiming screw in su...

An automobile toy adapted to be moved by pulling a tow string by an infant in which when the automobile toy is moved along a support floor or ground by pulling the tow string, the body of the automobile toy moves upwardly and downwardly and at the same time, the driver figure doll loosely received in the body moves back and forth. The automobile toy further includes a sound producing mechanism which is operated to produce a sound when the front wheels of the automobile toy rotate and a front cov...

A headlight arrangement for a vehicle is provided, comprising a support frame fastened to the vehicle, a lamp turnably mounted on said support frame, said lamp having a beam radiation range, and a mechanism operative for automatically turning said lamp in dependence upon the direction in which the vehicle is steered to correspondingly adjust said beam radiation range.

An automobile body comprising a fixed lower part including a floor and side walls extending upwardly from the floor; a permanent roof covering the fore portion of said fixed part; and an adjustable roof hingedly mounted on said permanent roof at the front edge thereof. Side panels depend from the adjustable roof in overlapping relation to said side walls with inflatable sealing tubes between the two. A front seat is fixedly mounted on the floor beneath the permanent roof. A foldable rear seat is...

An automobile mirror device comprises a mirror mounted in a carrier which is connected by a universal joint to a base. A threaded spindle, driven by an electric motor, engages a split nut held by a spring steel stirrup pivotally connected to the carrier. When the mirror is tilted by rotation of the spindle to either of its end positions, the thread will disengage the nut by forcing apart the parts of the nut.

An automobile door that is significantly easy to fabricate, enhanced in ease of assembling door components, and reduced in the number of parts to be mounted. The door comprises an outer panel and an inner panel. The inner panel is composed of a main panel made of metal and a resin-molded sub panel formed integrally with the main panel. The inner panel is formed with a mount on which door functional parts to be mounted on the door are mounted. The inner panel is also formed integrally with electr...

In a bonnet for an automobile in which an inner frame 22 as a reinforcement is placed to integrally underlie an outer panel 21, assuming that the thickness of the bonnet 20 is expressed as a distance from an upper surface of the outer panel 21 to a lower surface of the inner frame 22, the thickness of the bonnet is reduced at a front portion rather than at a rear portion of the bonnet, whereby a reduction in rigidity is attained at the front portion. From an empirical observation, a smaller obst...

An automobile headlight comprising a light source, a reflector having a by-passing reflecting portion, which reflects light emitted from the light source downward to form a light distribution pattern for by-passing, and a traveling reflecting portion, which reflects light emitted from the light source to a horizontal front of the automobile headlight when the movable shade is in a position for traveling straight ahead, a fixed shade which directs light emitted from the light source towards the r...

To make it possible to rewrite a control program and decrease man-hours for change of the control program without removing a microcomputer or ROM when an automobile controller must change the control program due to any reason. The following are used: a microcomputer 3 for accessing an electrically erasable nonvolatile memory 3-1 storing a control program, an external unit 2 storing a rewriting program 2-1 and a rewriting voltage source 2-2 for generating a rewriting voltage in accordance with th...
