A vehicle includes: a partition that separates a driver cabin into which a driver climbs and a passenger cabin into which a passenger climbs and that is coupled to a roof and a floor; a driver's seat base member to which a driver's seat is fixed; and a side support member that is coupled to the partition and the driver's seat base member and partially located on a lateral side of the buttocks or the hips of the driver seated in the driver's seat. A shoulder anchor of a driver's seatbelt device and a shoulder anchor of a passenger's seatbelt device are fixed to the partition. A side support member restrains the driver from moving in a left-right direction and retains the driver in the driver's seat.

Provided is a conveyance seat capable of appropriately controlling the behavior of the pelvis (lumbar) of a seated occupant when an impact occurs, and thereby suppressing the generation of a compressive load on the spine of the seated occupant. This conveyance seat is provided with a seat cushion. The seat cushion has: a seat cushion frame; a cushion pad placed on the seat cushion frame; and a high-hardness portion provided below the cushion pad and higher in hardness than the material of the cushion pad. The high-hardness portion is disposed such that at least a part of the high-hardness portion overlaps a sinking suppression member in the vertical direction of the conveyance seat. The sinking suppression member is provided in the seat cushion frame or a vehicle body so that sinking of a seated occupant is suppressed. The sinking suppression member is disposed below the high-hardness portion.

A vehicle seat comprises: a pair of opposed frames disposed opposite to and separately from each other; a pair of connecting frames disposed separately from each other in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to an opposing direction of the pair of opposed frames, the connecting frames being configured to connect the pair of opposed frames; a bridging wire disposed to bridge the pair of connecting frames; a reinforcing wire disposed to cross the bridging wire as viewed from an occupant side; and a plate-shaped plastic member configured to cover the bridging wire and the reinforcing wire at least at their crossover such that the bridging wire and the reinforcing wire are arranged to be spaced apart from and thus kept out of contact with each other, the bridging wire and the reinforcing wire being connected with the plate-shaped plastic member.

The invention relates to a seating frame for a vehicle seat, the frame comprising a back frame component for supporting a back rest, wherein the back frame component includes a plurality of interconnected reinforcing ribs that form a single unit, and wherein the seating frame is a one-piece injection-molded part made of plastic material. The invention also relates to a process of making such a seating frame. Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle seat comprising such a seating frame, and a vehicle comprising such a vehicle seat or such a seating frame.

A support element for a vehicle seat, the support element including: a shell, a cover mounted on the shell, the cover defining a front surface for receiving a passenger, and a rear surface opposite the front surface, and a padding arranged between the shell and the cover. The cover has a plurality of fastening loops fastened on the rear surface of the cover. The shell has a plurality of through-openings arranged substantially facing the fastening loops, the fastening loops passing through the through-openings and mechanically cooperating with the shell so as to keep the cover rigidly connected to the shell.

A skeletal structure is provided that includes a panel, and a frame joined to a front surface side of the panel. The frame includes a plurality of first frames oriented in a fixed direction and a second frame oriented in a direction orthogonal to the plurality of first frames, and each of the plurality of first frames and the second frame are formed to have an open cross-sectional shape. An end portion of each first frame of the plurality of first frames is joined to the second frame in an overlapping state.

A backrest of a vehicle seat includes an armature and an upholstery fixed to the armature. The upholstery has a slit for accommodating a headrest support rod by relative movement of the upholstery with respect to the armature in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat. The backrest further includes first and second trim elements. Each trim element forms a notch. The notches of the first and second trim elements define a passage for a headrest support rod. The second trim element partially covers the slit in the upholstery. The first and/or the second trim elements is/are in contact with the upholstery.

A vehicle-mounted seat device includes an SB main frame, a backrest, a relay disk secured at the center in the width direction of the backrest, a plurality of radial wires for suspending the backrest such that the backrest can swing relative to the SB main frame with the relay disk as the center, an SB subframe capable of swinging together with the backrest, a headrest, a headrest stay extending downward from the headrest and mounted on the SB main frame so as to rotate around a rotation shaft; a pressure-receiving body secured on the headrest stay so as to be disposed behind and opposed to the relay disk; and a provisional connection mechanism for provisionally connecting the headrest stay to the SB main frame.

A seat pad 1 is a seat pad including a resin foamed body 50, and a sheet member 70 buried in the resin foamed body, and when a direction orthogonal to a right-left direction and a thickness direction of the seat pad is referred to as an extending direction of the seat pad, at least a central part of the sheet member is curved in a convex shape on a back surface side of the seat pad in the extending direction.

The object of the invention is to provide a vehicle seat which can improve degree of freedom in the design of the vehicle seat. A vehicle seat with a seat cushion and a seat back includes: right and left side frames 20 constituting right and left frames of the seat back; a pressure-receiving member 40 disposed between the right and left side frames 20 and configured to receive a load from an occupant; and a driving mechanism 50 disposed at each of right and left sides of the pressure-receiving member 40 and configured to cause a right end portion or a left end portion of the pressure-receiving member 40 to move from an initial position to an advanced position that is located frontward of the initial position or to move from the advanced position to the initial position, wherein the driving mechanism 50 includes a linkage (drive link member 100 and contact link member 200) configured to be connected to the pressure-receiving member 40 and a driving source 52 configured to actuate the linkage, and wherein the linkage is configured to operate when a load equal to or greater than a predetermined amount is input from the occupant to the pressure-receiving member 40 to cause the pressure-receiving member 40 to move to a backward position that is located rearward of the initial position.
