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.

A holder is removable from a seatback frame. The seatback frame has a back plate, a top plate extending from an upper portion of the back plate toward a front side, and a fixing plate provided below the top plate and extending from the back plate toward the front side. The top plate has two insertion holes into which two holders can be inserted from above. The fixing plate is configured so as to be able to fix the end portions of the two holders inserted through the insertion holes of the top plate.

A hybrid seating structure, comprising: a main structure formed from a thermoplastic material and injection molded as a single piece, comprising: a frame formed by a left channel, right channel, bottom channel, and top channel; wherein each channel is defined by an outside wall, an inside wall, and a connecting wall that extends between the outside wall and the inside wall, wherein the inside walls of each channel form an inner side of the frame, and the outside walls and connecting walls form an exterior side of the frame; and each channel comprises a first reinforcing rib structure disposed in the channel; wherein the outside wall of the left channel comprises a first reinforcement; and wherein the outside wall of the right channel comprises a second reinforcement.

A structural component may have a flexible structure with at least one adjusting mechanism, which may be formed at least from a plurality of folded elements or lever elements and spacing elements that are coupled to one another in such a way that their upper surfaces are connected to one another by an upper flat element and their lower surfaces are connected to one another by a lower flat element. The upper flat element and the lower flat element may be configured to be moved in a defined manner in the event of a tilting movement of the flexible structure

A structural component may have a carrier structure and a substructure arranged on the carrier structure and having a variable contour. The substructure may have an adjustment mechanism with a plurality of adjustment elements. The adjustment mechanism may be configured to adjust the adjustment elements between a compressed position and an expanded position in order to vary the contour.

A cushion suspension for a vehicle seat may have a support structure with a substantially tub-shaped profile and at least two lateral portions. Each of the lateral portions may have a flexible suspension portion. A seating surface assembly for a vehicle seat is also disclosed.

A composite structure comprising a substantially planar portion and a border arranged on the border of the substantially planar portion. A first linking zone is arranged at one end of the border along a first axis and a second linking zone is arranged at another end of the border along the first axis. The border further comprises a reinforcing zone connecting the first and second linking zones, in that the border has a profile transverse to the first axis that is substantially U-shaped opening on a side opposite the substantially planar portion and in that the border is reinforced by at least one rib substantially parallel to a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and included in the plane of the portion.

A seat assembly includes a first seatback and a second seatback. The first seatback may include a first seatback upper portion and a first seatback lower portion. The second seatback may include a second seatback upper portion and a second seatback lower portion. The seat assembly may further include an intermediate back section including an intermediate upper portion and an intermediate lower portion. The first seatback lower portion and the second seatback lower portion may be arranged on opposite sides of the intermediate lower portion. The seat assembly may also include a carrier frame to which the first seatback upper portion, the second seatback upper portion, and the intermediate upper portion may be connected. At least one of the first seatback upper portion, the second seatback lower portion, and the intermediate upper portion may be adjustably connected to the carrier frame.

Mechanisms for raising at least a portion of a vehicle load floor in response to lowering of one adjacent seat, to allow for easier loading of vehicle cargo areas. Mechanisms may raise a portion of the load floor when any one or more adjacent seats are lowered, but only lower the load floor when all adjacent seats are raised. In this manner, mechanisms of embodiments of the disclosure raise the load floor to an inclined position so that the load floor gradually rises to the elevation of any adjacent folded seat backs, rather than having a step increase in height at the boundary between load floor and seats. This allows for easier sliding of cargo over the load floor and onto the seat backs.

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.
