Abstract: A wire end of a wire harness is protected. The wire harness includes a wire bundle and a connector connected therewith. The wire bundle includes the wire end, and the wire end includes a bent portion and faces the connector. First, a sheet member is folded perpendicularly to a wire lead-out surface of the connector, thereby forming, concurrently, counter sides facing the wire lead-out surface, side surface covering portions, and a tip end protection portion. Next, the side surface covering portions are folded along a top protection portion formation portion, thereby forming, concurrently, side surface protection portions, a top protection portion and an extending portion. Next, a wire end protection portion is secured, with a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or the like, to a wire bundle portion while the relative position of the counter sides with respect to the wire lead-out surface is maintained.

Abstract: A side airbag apparatus is employed in a vehicle seat that includes a seat back (14) and a seat belt guide (23). The seat back (14) includes an accommodation portion in a lateral portion on the outer side. The seat belt guide (23) is attached to the lateral portion at a location above the accommodation portion. The side airbag apparatus includes a gas generator (30), an airbag (35), and a pressure receiving member (40). The gas generator (30) and the airbag (35) are installed in the accommodation portion. The pressure receiving member (40) is arranged rearward of the airbag (35) in the accommodation portion, and includes a main body (41) and an upper restricting portion (43). The main body (41) includes a pressure receiving surface, which extends along an axis (L1) of the gas generator (30). The main body (41) receives the pressure of inflation gas in the airbag (35) on the pressure receiving surface and produces reaction force in a forward direction, which is perpendicular to the pressure receiving surface.

Abstract: A sliding device includes a fixed rail, a movable rail, a shutter to close an opening of the fixed rail, an engaging body including a pressed portion, an engaged portion, a resilient element, and a pressing portion provided to the movable rail or the shutter. The shutter is slidable relative to the fixed rail by receiving a force from the movable rail. The engaging body is provided to one of the shutter and the fixed rail, and the engaged portion is provided to the other. The engaging body is displaceable between an engaged position where it is engageable with the engaged portion and a disengaged position displaced from the engaged position. The resilient element produces a resilient force maintaining the engaging body in the engaged position. The pressing portion contacts with the pressed portion when the movable rail slides, thus displacing the engaging body to the disengaged position.
