Abstract: A grommet includes an umbrella-shaped member that is separate from a grommet body. The umbrella-shaped member has a covering portion that covers an insertion hole of a sound insulator provided on one surface of a vehicle body panel. The covering portion is inclined to increase in diameter toward the sound insulator. The grommet body has an engagement portion that axially locks to a front end of the covering portion, which is the front end of the umbrella-shaped member.

Abstract: A light control sheet including a first transparent electrode layer, a second transparent electrode layer, a light control layer including a resin layer which is formed between the first and second transparent electrode layers and includes a liquid crystal composition in holes formed in the resin layer, the liquid crystal composition including liquid crystal molecules, and a first alignment layer formed between the first transparent electrode layer and the light control layer such that a haze of the light control layer is increased upon application of a voltage to the first transparent electrode layer. The light control layer includes a first high-density portion and a low-density portion, and the first high-density portion is in contact with the first alignment layer and includes the liquid crystal composition at a density higher than a density of the liquid crystal composition in the low-density portion per unit thickness of the light control layer.

Abstract: This invention provides a disc player in which a disc can be taken out readily and without possibility for the disc to fall out when unloading the disc. A Transfer apparatus pushes back a disc located in a playing portion up to a position, at which the center hole of the disc at least partly projects from a disc insertion slot. An elastic holding mechanism elastically holds a portion of the disc, having been pushed back, on the outer side of a recording area from the opposite sides of the disc, thus preventing the falling-out of the disc.
