Product
Features
Born
of long, long years
of experience,
a variety of broad-range
functions.
Get
on and off with
ease from cars
equipped with bucket
seats or sports
type seats by tilting
up the steering
wheel. Furthermore,
work with ease
on the dashboard
and foot pedal
area hitherto unreachable.
Uses
ball lock system
to realize both
design appeal and
functionality.
Tilt
type steering system
employs patented
ball lock system
and developed based
on the performance
tested one touch
steering attachment-detachment
system “RapFix”.
Through the application
of the patented
features of RapFix,
and using a ball
to join the concave
and convex sections,
smooth connection
and reduction of
chatter are realized.
In the same way
with RapFix, equipment
parts of high stability
and reliability
have fully developed.
Ball lock system
RapFix GTC incorporates
powerful high technology
in each part. The
new work of pride
by Works Bell and
Night Pager.
Taking
pains not to sacrifice
safety and comfort.
“Two-step
lock” is employed
as a measure in
cases of emergencies.
For as long as
the safety trigger
is not made to
slide, the lock
is not released.
Hence, the steering
wheel does not
tilt up with inadvertent
contact while driving.
Further, a tilted
steering wheel
is suspended (stopped)
in about 6 stages
depending on how
the plunger mechanism
is engaged. The
steering wheel
can be suspended
at the position
desired depending
on the meter hood
and other characteristic
features of the
car type. Furthermore,
a “horn button”
may also be used.
The horn terminals
are built-in inside
the main body (plug)
of the product
and in the tilt-up
section (socket).
When tilted up,
electric current
to horn switch
is cut-off. When
tilted down current
is restored through
a contact point
specific to the
purpose.
Superior
advantages over
existing products
In
many of the products
of other companies
with similar functions,
suppression of
chatter due to
radial load for
steering is made
difficult by structural
problems and sacrificing
reverse, steerability,
steering feel and
other factors that
bring about the
comfort of tilt
up. In RapFix GTC,
however, the use
of B.L.S. (ball
lock system) made
it possible to
realize surpassing
quality in existing
products.
How
to Use
Tilt-up
(tilt-up)
1. Pull down the safety
trigger (red lever)
and release the
ball lock system
(safety device). 2. Pull up the
lever under the
conditions in 1,
tilt-up the steering
wheel.
Tilt-down
Push
the tilted up steering
wheel, and push
the socket (steering
wheel) downwards
until the ball
lock system (safety
device) locks.
