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.

A seat device includes a cushion portion configured to elastically support a seated person and a seat frame configured to support the cushion portion. The cushion portion includes a plurality of divided cushions divided in a seat width direction. The plurality of divided cushions each include a seat pad a seat cover that individually covers each seat pad, and a resin member that is engaged with at least one of the seat cover or the seat pad and is thus individually integrated with the seat pad covered by the seat cover. The resin member includes a snap-fit structure fixed to the seat frame by inserting from a seat front side to a seat back side.

A seat device includes a cushion portion configured to elastically support a seated person, and a seat frame configured to support the cushion portion. The cushion portion includes a plurality of divided cushions divided in a seat width direction. Each of the plurality of divided cushions includes a seat pad, and a seat cover individually covering the seat pad. A divided surface between the divided cushions adjacent to each other includes a first divided surface extending from a seat front side toward a seat back side, and a second divided surface that is bent from a seat back side extending tip of the first divided surface in a direction different from a direction in which the first divided surface extends and extends toward the seat back side.

A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a seatback having a seat frame. The seat assembly includes a panel having an end slidably supported by the seat frame. The panel is bowable outwardly from the seat frame to a deployed position. The seat assembly includes an actuator supported by the seat frame and connected to the end of the panel.

Disclosed are a seat frame assembly and a method of manufacturing the same whereby adhesion of a reinforcing material attached to a seat frame is improved to secure rigidity of the seat frame and process speed is improved. According to one embodiment disclosed herein, seat frame assembly includes: a frame configured such that a portion of each of opposite sides is bent forward, and supporting an upper body of an occupant; and side members joined to the opposite sides of the frame, respectively, each of the side members including a groove formed in a surface being in close contact with the frame, wherein a portion of the frame that is surface-joined to each of the side members is provided with a protrusion inserted into the groove.

The present disclosure relates to a seat element, in particular, a headrest for a vehicle seat, the seat element comprising at least one support bar made of metal, a first layer provided at an exterior surface of the support bar, and a cushion made of an upholstery material. Hereby, the first layer is formed by blowing on first fibers made of plastics which are thermally welded directly or indirectly to the exterior surface.

At least part of the first fibers extends away from the exterior surface and/or the first layer towards the outside into the upholstery material and is thermally cross-linked with the upholstery material, in particular, blown-on further fibers.

A vehicle seating assembly includes a seat and a seatback. The seatback includes a frame that has opposing first and second frame members and first and second displaceable panels that are pivotably coupled to the first and second frame members. The first and second displaceable panels are movable between stored positions and deployed positions in response to a force exerted on the seatback.

A sensor disposition structure in a seat includes a cushion pad and a board-like member which is disposed under the cushion pad. A concave is formed in an upper surface of the board-like member, and a sensor is disposed in the concave.

A lever assembly includes a lever housing attached to a seat back of a vehicle seat. The lever assembly includes a bracket attached to the lever housing, and the bracket includes a bracket opening. The lever assembly includes a lever bezel including a bezel opening, the lever bezel is received in the lever housing, and the bezel opening aligns with the bracket opening. The lever assembly includes a lever pivotally mounted to the level bezel and a clip received in the bezel opening and the bracket opening to secure the lever bezel to the lever housing.

Described are ergonomic passenger seats that may include monocoque or semi-monocoque seat backs, cellular suspension cushions, and tray tables with support arms that may be located within the interior volume of the monocoque or semi-monocoque seat backs when in their stowed positions. The passenger seats offer enhanced passenger comfort and space while providing a lightweight, simple to manufacture design. Monocoque and semi-monocoque seat backs may form integral parts of passenger seats to support additional loads without need for heavy, complex structures. The space within the monocoque or semi-monocoque seat back may then be used for storage or suspension cushions that offer improved comfort with a lighter seat frame. Monocoque and semi-monocoque seat backs may also facilitate the adoption of several other seating mechanisms, such as new seat mounts that allow for improved seat motion that allows for passenger recline with reduced impingement on other passengers' space.
