1. A heating cooker comprising:
an inner pot for accommodating therein a heating object to be heated;
a heating cooker body for accommodating the inner pot therein;
a heating part attached to the heating cooker body and serving for heating the heating object;
a lid which is openablyclosably attached on top of the heating cooker body and which can be closed so as to cover the inner pot;
a rotator rotatably placed between the heating cooker body and the lid;
stirrers which are attached to the rotator and which can be switched between a stirring state of being in contact with the heating object set in the inner pot and a non-stirring state of being apart from the heating object set in the inner pot; and
a notification part for notifying as to whether the stirrers are in the stirring state or in the non-stirring state with the lid closed.
2. The heating cooker as claimed in claim 1, wherein
the notification part is a display part for visually performing notification as to the stirrers.
3. The heating cooker as claimed in claim 2, wherein
the display part displays rice boiling steps associated with the stirring state and the non-stirring state.
4. The heating cooker as claimed in claim 2, further comprising:
a lock mechanism for locking the lid, wherein
the display part displays whether or not the lock mechanism is locking the lid.
5. The heating cooker as claimed in claim 2, wherein
the display part displays a state in which the rotator is rotating.
6. The heating cooker as claimed in claim 3, further comprising:
a lock mechanism for locking the lid, wherein
the display part displays whether or not the lock mechanism is locking the lid.
7. The heating cooker as claimed claim 3, wherein
the display part displays a state in which the rotator is rotating.
8. The heating cooker as claimed claim 4, wherein
the display part displays a state in which the rotator is rotating.

The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.

1. A knee bolster for a vehicle, the knee bolster being adapted to be deformed when a load is applied from a knee of an occupant in a load application direction so as to absorb an impact to the knee, the knee bolster comprising,
a first bracket which includes:
a first support portion which is supported by a vehicle body member and extends toward the knee;
a first load receiving portion which extends from an extended tip end of the first support portion in a direction which crosses the load application direction; and
a first deformation portion which is arranged between the first support portion and the first load receiving portion, and is adapted to be deformed when the load is applied, and

a second bracket which includes:
a second support portion which is supported by the vehicle body member or the first bracket and extends along the first support portion;
a second load receiving portion which extends along the first load receiving portion; and
a second deformation portion which is arranged between the second support portion and the second load receiving portion, and is adapted to be deformed when the load is applied; wherein
the second bracket is arranged such that a distance between the second load receiving portion and the knee is shorter than a distance between the first load receiving portion and the knee, in the load application direction,

wherein:
the first bracket includes a first tip end portion at an opposite side of the first deformation portion with respect to the first load receiving portion; and
the second bracket includes a second tip end portion at an opposite side of the second deformation portion with respect to the second load receiving portion, and wherein
the second tip end portion is arranged such that a distance between the second tip end portion and the knee is shorter than a distance between the first tip end portion and the knee, in the load application direction.
2. The knee bolster for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein
a distance between the second deformation portion and the second tip end portion is set longer than a distance between the first deformation portion and the first tip end portion.
3. The knee bolster for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein:
the first support portion is formed to have a U-shaped cross section with a bottom wall and a pair of side walls;
the second support portion is formed to have a U-shaped cross section with a bottom wall and a pair of side walls, the second support portion being formed wider than the first support portion; and
the first bracket and the second bracket are coupled with each other by coupling the pair of the side walls of the first support portion and the pair of the side walls of the second support portion.
4. The knee bolster for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein
the second deformation portion is arranged such that a distance between the second deformation portion and the knee is shorter than a distance between the first deformation portion and the knee in the load application direction.
5. The knee bolster for a vehicle according to claim 4, wherein:
the first support portion is formed to have a U-shaped cross section with a bottom wall and a pair of side walls;
the second support portion is formed to have a U-shaped cross section with a bottom wall and a pair of side walls, the second support portion being formed wider than the first support portion; and
the first bracket and the second bracket are coupled with each other by coupling the pair of the side walls of the first support portion and the pair of the side walls of the second support portion.
6. The knee bolster for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein
the first bracket differs from the second bracket in at least one of material, thickness, and cross sectional shape, whereby the first bracket is formed to have a rigidity or a strength higher than that of the second bracket.
7. The knee bolster for a vehicle according to claim 6, wherein:
the first support portion is formed to have a U-shaped cross section with a bottom wall and a pair of side walls;
the second support portion is formed to have a U-shaped cross section with a bottom wall and a pair of side walls, the second support portion being formed wider than the first support portion; and
the first bracket and the second bracket are coupled with each other by coupling the pair of the side walls of the first support portion and the pair of the side walls of the second support portion.
8. The knee bolster for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein:
the first support portion is formed to have a U-shaped cross section with a bottom wall and a pair of side walls;
the second support portion is formed to have a U-shaped cross section with a bottom wall and a pair of side walls, the second support portion being formed wider than the first support portion; and
