Abstract: A garnish includes a heating element, a base member, and a circuit board. The heating element is configured by stacking first and second sheet materials and interposing a heater wire in between. The circuit board includes a power source line and is fixed to a back surface of the base member. The heating element includes a main body portion and an extending portion. The extending portion includes a power source connection portion for connecting the heater wire to the power source line and extends to the back surface of the base member. The main body portion of the heating element is fixed to a laying surface of the base member by fixing the second sheet material to the base member. The heater wire is exposed in the power source connection portion without stacking the second sheet material on the first sheet material.

Abstract: A retainer that holds a fuel nozzle holder is mounted to a filler pipe. The retainer includes: a first attaching portion mounted at the filler pipe; an opening located at a first end of the retainer, which is closer to a center of the filler pipe than a second end; and a holding portion having engaging holes. The fuel nozzle holder includes: a second attaching portion having a cylindrical shape and including two engaging pieces engaged in the engaging holes and located on opposite sides in a circumference of the second attaching portion. The engaging pieces are each surrounded by a groove at three sides and joined to the second attaching portion on one, and the two engaging pieces are different from each other in terms of a maximum value of a length in a circumferential direction of the second attaching portion.

Abstract: A vehicle exterior part includes: a decoration body including a base and a transparent plastic layer arranged on an outer side of the base; a heater seat including a seat base and a heat wire; and a connector pin. The heater seat includes: a heat-generating body arranged on an outer side of the transparent plastic layer; and an extension extending from an edge of the heat-generating body. A section of the heater wire in the extension is a terminal electrically connected to the connector pin. An outer part of the connector pin is embedded in a periphery of the base. An inner part of the connector pin is exposed from the base. The extension extends inward in an outer-inner direction in the periphery of the base. The terminal of the heater wire is joined to the outer part of the connector pin in the periphery of the base.

Abstract: A steering wheel includes a functional device and a control device, which is electrically connected to the functional device. The functional device includes a functional case, which constitutes a housing of the functional device. The control device includes a control case, which constitutes a housing of the control device. A first connector is partially exposed to an outside of the functional case. A second connector is partially exposed to an outside of the control case. The first connector is coupled to the second connector, so that the functional device is electrically connected to the control device without a harness between the functional case and the control case.
