Abstract: An operation device includes three contact circuits each including fixed terminals and a slider as a movable contact for selectively changing a state between the fixed terminals to an ON/OFF state, a determination unit to which the contact circuits are connected, and an operation signal generation unit that outputs a signal indicating that an operation unit is in a state of ON operation. In response to an ON operation, the slider moves from an initial position where all contact circuits are in an OFF state to an end position where all contact circuits are turned on. Assuming that one of the contact circuits is a reference contact circuit and the others are output contact circuits, the reference contact circuit is provided such that a distance from the initial position to a position where the reference contact circuit is turned on is smaller than that for the output contact circuits.

Abstract: In a vehicle seat, a back side, that is a side opposite a seating side, of a cushion is covered by a backing that has less expandability than the cushion. The back side of the cushion is divided by a pair of first supporting members into a center portion arranged between the pair of first supporting members and a pair of side portions arranged on both sides of the center portion. The center portion and the side portions each have a semi-cylindrical outer shape that protrudes out from the back side of the cushion. First arranging portions that are recessed toward the seating side are formed between the center portion and each of the side portions. The first supporting members are arranged sinking into the cushion at the first arranging portions.
