In a vehicle seat having an airbag module placed in the seatback thereof, the load that may be applied to the back side of the seatback is prevented from being applied to the airbag module. The vehicle seat (1, 300, 400) comprise a seatback frame (19) including a pair of side members (26, 301) extending vertically along either side thereof and providing a structural framework of a seatback, a plate member (20, 402) positioned behind the seatback frame and including an extension (32, 410) extending in an outboard direction from the side member located on an outboard side of the seatback frame, a mounting member connected to the outboard side member, and an airbag module (23) positioned on a front side of the extension and connected to the outboard side member via the mounting member, a clearance (S) being defined between the airbag module and the extension.

In embodiments, an aircraft passenger seat assembly includes a seatback assembly including one or more lateral seatback sections. In embodiments, at least one lateral seatback section includes a base seatback panel coupled to a seatback frame, a first set of segmented seatback panels coupled to the base seatback panel, and a second set of segmented seatback panels coupled to the first set of segmented seatback panels. In embodiments, the aircraft passenger seat assembly further includes a plurality of actuatable assemblies, wherein the plurality of actuatable assemblies include a first set of actuatable assemblies configured to selectively actuate the first set of segmented seatback panels relative to the base seatback panel, and a second set of actuatable assemblies configured to selectively actuate the second set of segmented seatback panels relative to the first set of segmented seatback panels.

A seat back panel may have a panel having a central portion bounded by an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion may have an upper attachment member adapted to selectively receive a portion of a framework for a seat. The central portion may have a least one side attachment member adapted to selectively receive a portion of the framework. the central portion may have a concave shape. The lower portion may have a convex shape. The concave shape and the convex shape may give the panel a general S-shape.

A bus seat including a seat back and a seat bottom. The seat back further includes a panel and a housing. The housing is a modular and configured to receive a variety of different panels. In one example, attachment of the panel to the housing defines a cavity. In another example, the cavity is filled with an energy absorbing material. In another example, the energy absorbing material is expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam and/or expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam. The seat back further includes a pair of parallel mounting posts disposed between the panel and the housing. The mounting posts include a plurality of fastener mounting locations to enable a universal fit. In another embodiment, the seat back includes one or more energy absorbing portions configured to absorb energy in the event of an accident.

A cushion frame comprises first and second side frames and a coupling member coupling rear end portions of the first and second side frames. Each of the first and second side frames has a fixation portion at a corresponding rear end portion. The first side frame comprises first and second bead portions in the rear end portion thereof. In the first side frame, a hypothetical ridge line of the first bead portion substantially coincides with an imaginary line extending from the coupling member to the fixation portion. An angle between the hypothetical ridge line of the first bead portion and a hypothetical ridge line of the second bead portion is equal to or less than a preset angle.

Examples of the disclosure provide a seatback for a vehicle seat, in particular an aircraft seat, comprising a seatback structure that includes a rear side having a partially circumferential outer edge and a recess which is partially surrounded by the outer edge. The recess is configured to retain a panel at least partially arranged within the recess and at least partially covered by the outer edge. The panel is detachable retained to and/or in the recess and is configured as an interchangeable and customized part.

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.

A seat unit and a lower structure thereof that are not restricted in their positional relationship with seat tracks provided in advance in the airframe. One representative seat unit of the present invention and the lower structure thereof includes a hollow structure integrally formed using a composite member. The hollow structure is hollow in a front direction of the seat unit. The hollow structure has a quadrilateral shape in the front direction of the seat unit. In addition, a partition plate is disposed in the hollow structure. Furthermore, the lower structure includes attachment points to an aircraft at three locations on its bottom. In addition, a block is embedded in the composite member at the attachment point, and a thickness of the composite member around a bracket coupled to the block is less than thickness at other locations.

A conveyance seat capable of suppressing wrinkles or saggings from occurring on a surface of a seat main body is provided. A conveyance seat S includes a seat back and a movable body which is attached inside the seat back, is disposed at an outer position in relation to a center portion of the seat back, and is operated so that a side portion of the seat back protrudes toward a seated occupant side (seat front side). The movable body is disposed on a back surface of a cushion material in the side portion. An end portion (rear end portion) on the side opposite to the seated occupant side of the movable body is disposed on the seated occupant side (seat front side) in relation to a seating surface of the center portion of the seat back.

A method for fabricating custom seat bolsters includes receiving a first image of a user in a first pose and a second image of the user in a second pose. The method further includes generating a 3D body scan model based on at least the first image of the user and the second image of the user. The method further includes determining a design for a set of seat bolsters for the user based on the 3D body scan model. The method further includes providing the set of seat bolsters for the user based on the determined design.
