The display device includes a display, a resin member, and a transparent layer. The display includes a first surface on which an image is displayed, a second surface located oppositely to the first surface, and a side surface extending from the first surface to reach the second surface. The resin member includes an inner wall surface at least partially opposed to the side surface of the display, a first surface connected to the inner wall surface and located on the same side as the first surface of the display, and a second surface connected to the inner wall surface and located on the same side as the second surface of the display. The transparent layer includes a second surface spreading in contact with the first surface of the display and the first surface of the resin member, and a first surface located oppositely to the second surface.

Provided are a storage device and a cover member for the storage device with which a gap that exposes an internal structure can be shielded without degrading design. In the cover body for the storage device, a gap is formed between an end section of a shutter and upper left and right surface decoration sections, the end section of the shutter on the gap side is formed by a shielding member, and the shielding member extends toward between the upper left or right surface decoration section and a frame-side rail and reaches a lower side of each of the upper left and right surface decoration sections.

Storage device and cover member for the storage device

The lid device includes a latch body for a latch receiver provided in an opening forming body, an urging device that urges the latch body to always be in a position of being engaged with the latch receiver, and a switching member that is movably provided on a lid lower and that disengages the latch body and the latch receiver in a forward portion. A lid upper is combined with the lid lower so as to be able to slidably move in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the rotation center axis of the lid cover. Also provided is a linking member that links the lid upper and the lid lower so that the switching member is moved to the forward position when the lid upper is movably operated toward the rotation center axis of the lid lower.

The resin molded article is molded by using an electrode sheet as an insert in a state where one surface of the electrode sheet is closely attached to an inner surface which serves as the inner side of the operation surface. The electrode sheet is formed by using, as a base material, a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet which outputs an electrical signal according to the amount of change of electrostatic capacitance generated by a contact operation with respect to the operation surface. At least a whole or a part of the inner surface is formed in a three-dimensionally curved surface, and a passage is formed in the electrode sheet so as to allow a molten resin following in through a gate formed in a die which comes into contact with the other surface of the electrode sheet during molding to pass toward one surface side of the electrode sheet.

To provide a vehicle illumination device that achieves good design and that appropriately emits light in a sequence of operations for charging. A vehicle illumination deviceincludes: first light emitting portionsanddisposed in the vicinity of a boundary portionbetween a bodyand a lidvia notched portionsandformed at upper and lower edges of the lid; and second light emitting portionsanddisposed inside the lid. When the lidis unlocked in operation to unlock the lid, the first light emitting portionsandare turned on. When the lidis depressed in operation to open the lid, the first light emitting portionsandare turned off. When the lidis opened, the second light emitting portionsandare turned on to illuminate power supply portsand

An in-vehicle storage unit that can store an item to be stored in a vehicle, and includes: a storing portion that stores an item to be stored; an opening formed in the storing portion; a lid that is formed on the opening, and can be opened and closed; and a touch sensor panel that is formed in a surface of the lid, and can sense a touch operation by an operator. The touch sensor panel displays an operation icon on the touch sensor panel, in accordance with a sensing signal of the touch operation.

In-vehicle storage unit

A cup holder is provided, in which a control portion calculates a container-housing-portion temperature gradient &#x394;T based on a temperature T detected by a thermistor disposed inside a convex portion located on a bottom portion of a container housing portion. The control portion automatically carries out heating or cooling relative to the container housing portion based on that the container-housing-portion temperature gradient &#x394;T is a heating reference temperature gradient &#x3b1; or above, or is a cooling reference temperature gradient &#x3b2; or below. Thus, determinations of the heating or cooling is carried out based on only the container-housing-portion temperature gradient &#x394;T, so that heating or cooling control can be accurately carried out only by one temperature sensor.

Cup holder for carrying out a heating or cooling treatment

A hole plug includes a plug main body including a head portion, a leg portion, and a flange portion; and a meltable member annularly covering a periphery of an opening portion, disposed between the flange portion and a panel, and melting when heated to seal between the opening portion and the flange portion. The meltable member includes an annular convex portion at a periphery thereof, which annularly projects in a thickness direction of the meltable member, and abuts against a tip portion of the flange portion when the meltable member thermally shrinks in such a way as to reduce a diameter toward a center of the opening portion.
