Abstract:
A steering device is provided that includes an aluminum-alloy column bolted with a steering lock apparatus, that prevents destruction of a flange to be bolted, and that prevents the bolt from being loosened by applying shock to a bolt head section through the use of a special tool. A counterbore is formed so deep that a slant plane is higher than a top end of a disk-shaped member of a bolt. A thief can hardly apply shock to the disk-shaped member of the bolt using a special tool. It is difficult to rotate and loosen the bolt. A vehicle can be prevented from being stolen by removing a steering lock apparatus from an outer column.

Abstract:
A steering device reduces a sliding sound and an impact sound between a movable tilt lock gear and an outer surface of a side plate of a vehicle body attachment bracket. When a movable tilt lock gear is rotated, and a thread of an inclined cam surface of a stationary cam runs on a thread of an inclined cam surface of a movable cam, a fastening rod is pulled toward a left side, and the movable tilt lock gear is pushed toward an outer surface of a left side plate. Because a first buffer member and a second buffer member are attached to the movable tilt lock gear, sliding surfaces of the first buffer member and a sliding surface of the second buffer member contact the outer surface of the left side plate, and slide, to suppress the sliding sound.
Abstract:
A steering device facilitates the assembling of a tilt lock mechanism that elastically supports movement of a movable tilt lock gear to a stationary cam in a tilt direction by a spring. The stationary cam has both characteristics of durability and an impact reduction capability. When a cylindrical part of a tilt stopper has been inserted into a through hole, the cylindrical part is enlarged in diameter, and engagement surfaces of engagement projections are engaged with an end surface of an inclined cam surface side of a stationary cam. A right end surface of a flange part of the tilt stopper is abutted against an end surface of a movable tilt lock gear. The movable tilt lock gear, a wire spring, and the stationary cam are integrated by the tilt stopper, and those four parts can be prevented from being dispersed during transportation. As a result, the assembling time can be reduced. Also, because those four parts are not displaced in the axial direction, the axial positions of the wire spring and the stationary cam can be held at a fixed position.
Abstract:
A steering device smoothly moves a variable tilt lock gear in a tilt direction, smoothly engages the movable tilt lock gear with a stationary tilt lock gear, and facilitates the assembling. When a movable tilt lock gear is not well engaged with a stationary tilt lock gear, and the respective threads of a gear of the movable tilt lock gear and a gear of the stationary tilt lock gear are abutted against each other, arm parts of a wire spring are elastically deformed by its reaction force. As a result, the movable tilt lock gear is slightly moved in the vertical direction of the vehicle body while the stationary cam is fixed, and the gear of the movable tilt lock gear and the gear of the stationary tilt lock gear are normally engaged with each other.

Abstract:
A superposed wafer is separated to a processing target wafer and a supporting wafer while being heated. Then, an adhesive on a joint surface of the processing target wafer is removed by supplying an organic solvent onto the joint surface of the processing target wafer. Then, an oxide film formed on the predetermined pattern on the joint surface of the processing target wafer is removed by supplying acetic acid to the joint surface of the processing target wafer. Then, the joint surface of the processing target wafer is inspected. Then, based on an inspection result, the adhesive on the joint surface of the processing target wafer is removed and the oxide film formed on the predetermined pattern on the joint surface of the processing target wafer is removed.
