Abstract: A stator core that is configured by stacking plural core plates and that is housed inside a case of a motor. The plural core plates include an elastic protrusion-equipped core plate provided with plural elastic protrusions arrayed in a circumferential direction. The elastic protrusions extend toward a radial direction outside from an outer peripheral portion of the elastic protrusion-equipped core plate and are bent in an axial direction. The stator core is supported by the case in a state in which the plural elastic protrusions are in contact with an inner peripheral face of the case and elastically flexed.

Abstract: A seat back panel includes a panel main body and a separate panel. The panel main body is disposed at a posterior portion of a seat back of a vehicle seat. The panel main body structures a portion of a main body portion of a seat back frame. An aperture is formed at a location of the panel main body that opposes a dorsal region of a seat occupant. The separate panel is attached to the main body portion and closes up the aperture. At a time of rear-end collision of the vehicle, the separate panel receives a load from the dorsal region of the seat occupant and relatively displaces toward the rear side of the seat back with respect to the panel main body.

Abstract: Provided is a bending structure that can be reduced in diameter. The present invention is provided with a bending part 9 which has an elastically bendable and expandable inner coil part 13 and outer coil part 15, and in which a corresponding winding section 13a of the inner coil part 13 is fit in the space between adjacent winding sections 15a of the outer coil part 15. At least one of the inner and outer coil parts 13 and 15 is conductive and forms a conductive path P1. The bending part 9, which is capable of suppressing compression in the axial direction, enables the formation of the conductive path P1 without the need of another conductive line or the like, thereby simplifying the structure.
