Disclosed herein is a packaging case of a wiper blade used to wipe a windscreen of automobiles. The wiper blade includes a wiper strip to wipe a windshield of an automobile. The packaging case includes a body having an accommodation space to accommodate the wiper blade and an opening to open the accommodation space, a cover connected pivotally to a first side of the body via a first connecting part to cover the opening, and a locking section connected pivotally to a second side of the body, opposed to the first side, via a second connecting part to be engaged with the body with one end of the cover interposed between the locking section and the body. The packaging case can protect the wiper blade from external force and prevent damage of the wiper blade during delivery and distribution, and can ensure simple, compact and tight packaging of the wiper blade.

A liquid container includes a lever having one end supported to an outer wall of a housing containing a liquid therein and the other end as a free end, the lever being elastically deformable. The liquid container further includes a projection provided in an area of the housing which is opposite to and away from the supported one end of the lever, the projection covering at least a part of a space between the free end of the lever and the housing in the above area. By virtue of the projection, the lever can be protected against accidental external forces. In a cap-equipped liquid container, a straight line connecting a projected end of the projection of the liquid container and a distal end of a tab of a cap is set to cross a movable range of the lever provided on the liquid container in which the lever is allowed to angularly move with elastic deformation thereof. In a cap, an elastic sealing member for sealing off the surroundings of the supply port of the liquid container is provided on a bottom wall portion connecting first and second latch members to each other, and a part of the bottom wall portion is able to elastically deform upon application of an operating force.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a sensor attachment mechanism capable of attaching a position detecting sensor having directivity in a proper direction to a fluid pressure cylinder having a rail extending along the length of a cylinder tube on the outer surface thereof. Embodiments include a position detecting sensor for sensing the operating position of a piston is attached with a sensor holder to a grooved rail extending along the length of a cylinder tube on the outer surface thereof. The position detecting sensor has directivity in magnetic detection. The sensor holder includes a base mounted on the rail and a sensor holding part extending from the base. The sensor holding part is close to or in contact with the surface of the cylinder tube outside rail walls. The sensor holding part has a holding guide for holding the position detecting sensor in a direction parallel to the axis line of the cylinder such that the directivity of the sensor in the magnetic detection is directed to substantially the center of the cylinder.

An exterior member mounting unit is used for installing an exterior member to a device, such as a vehicle roof. The mounting unit includes a first part detachably supporting the exterior member so that an upper surface thereof is covered by the exterior member, a second part detachably held by the first part, and a screw for attaching the exterior member to the device while utilizing the second part detachably supported by the first part as a seating plate.
