Abstract: A molding end cap includes an end section and an insertion section that is inserted into a molding main body. The molding main body includes an outer surface section and a bent section. One of the insertion section and the bent section includes an engagement protrusion and the other thereof includes an insertion slope section and a hooking section. The engagement protrusion undergoes elastic deformation by the insertion slope section in a deformation direction that intersects an insertion direction. The hooking section holds the engagement protrusion in a state in which the engagement protrusion is restored from elastic deformation. The engagement protrusion formed in a shape of a rib ensures that the engagement protrusion is deformed to only a small extent in the insertion direction but easily undergoes elastic deformation in the deformation direction.

Abstract: A center-channel protector for a vehicle sash door is arranged between a main sash and a center channel. A body of the protector has an H-shaped upper-end surface which is compatible to cover the upper end of the center channel. The body integrally includes a pair of branch covering portions corresponding to a pair of branch portions constituting the center channel and a middle covering portion disposed between the branch covering portions so as to connect the both branch covering portions therewith. An engaging portion is provided with the body and is mechanically engaged, in a direction intersecting a vertical direction, with an engaged portion which is provided with a center channel side. In collaboration with the engaged portion, the engaging portion constitutes a fastening mechanism by which the protector is fastened on the center channel.

Abstract: Provided is an illumination device capable of providing uniform illumination along a specific direction. The illumination device is provided with a shaped member which extends in a specific direction, which has an opening section that opens towards a front side in a front/rear direction perpendicular to the specific direction, and which has a curved shape that protrudes towards a rear side; a base member which has translucent properties and is accommodated inside the shaped member while being exposed to the outer side of the shaped member via the opening section of the shaped member; a covering member which has light blocking properties and covers at least a portion of a front side portion of the base member from the front; and light emission means. The light emission means are fixed inside a recess section of the base member so as to be separated from each other in the specific direction.
