Headrest

A headrest includes a stay, a headrest body, and a dynamic damper attached to the stay. The dynamic damper includes: an attachment member having an attachment portion attached to the stay and an opening having no bottom; an elastic member fixed along its entire perimeter by an edge of the opening and placed in the opening; and a weight embedded in the elastic member and placed in the opening. The attachment member includes a front-side divided body and a back-side divided body. The elastic member is sandwiched between the front-side divided body and the back-side divided body, whereby the elastic member is fixed along its entire perimeter by the edge.

A door window opening and closing switch assembly includes a vehicular door window closing switch that is a touch-sensitive sensor and for closing a vehicular door window, and a switch mount member where the vehicular door window closing switch is mounted, and the switch mount member includes a switch operation portion having an opening, an opening edge portion around the opening, and a side wall extending from the opening edge portion. The door window closing switch is mounted on the side wall.

An arm-rest device is constituted by including the following: an armrest body to be installed to a seat rotatably upward/downward; a ratchet mechanism including stationary-side first ratchet teeth, and movable-side second ratchet teeth rotating integrally with the armrest body; coiled springs for urging those in such a direction that they press one another; releasing cam units for releasing the ratchet mechanism from the meshing; elastic claws and a flanged portion for retaining that release; cut-offs for returning the ratchet mechanism to the meshing. And, the armrest body is made of resin, thereby integrally molding the second ratchet teeth at the time of its molding. It thus becomes an armrest device that is lightweight as a whole, whose assembly can also be done with less man-hour requirements, whose feeling of use is also satisfactory, and which is inexpensive and small in size.
