A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion; a seat back; a headrest including a main part configured to support the back of the head of the occupant, a left side part connected to a left edge of the main part to be rotatable about a vertical axis, a right side part connected to a right edge of the main part to be rotatable about a vertical axis, a left drive device for rotating the left side part forward relative to the main part, and a right drive device for rotating the right side part forward relative to the main part; an acceleration acquisition device; and a control device which, when a rightward acceleration is acquired by the acceleration acquisition device, makes the right drive device rotate the right side part forward until the right side part is positioned on a right side of the head of the occupant, and when a leftward acceleration is acquired by the acceleration acquisition device, makes the left drive device rotate the left side part forward until the left side part is positioned on a left side of the head of the occupant.

An armrest includes an arm-side wire harness and an arm body member. The arm-side wire harness includes an electric wire and an arm-side connector on an end of the electric wire to be coupled to a mount member-side connector mounted on a mount member. The arm body member includes an arrangement section in which the electric wire of the arm-side wire harness is arranged and a mount member-side wall that is to be arranged opposite the mount member. The arm body member is to be fixed to the mount member while the mount member-side wall being opposite the mount member. The mount member-side wall includes a connector insertion hole through which the mount member-side connector can be inserted. The arm-side connector and the mount member-side connector can be arranged in the arrangement section. The arm body member includes an operation hole that is continuous from the arrangement section.

A seat mounted in the cabin of a vehicle has side supports for supporting the respective right and left lateral sides of the upper half body of an occupant. The seat also has a seat frame and a side support frame incorporated in the side support on the inner side in the vehicle width direction and secured on the seat frame. A console box is mounted adjacent to the seat, on the inner side of the seat in the vehicle width direction. The side support frame and the console box or the console frame are positioned so as to at least partially overlap each other in a side view.

A vehicle includes a connectivity module. The connectivity module includes at least one deployable work surface extendably coupled thereto, a compartment within the connectivity module, a device holder deployably housed within the compartment, and an armrest slidably coupled to a first side of the connectivity module that conceals at least one of a power outlet and a mobile device connector.

In order to suppress a claustrophobic feeling that a person sitting on a rear seat receives due to a front seat, and to make the front seat easy to use as an ottoman by the person, a movement adjustment system is used for a passenger seat and a rear seat, and includes a slide rail for moving the rear seat in the front to back direction, and a control part for changing the movement region of the rear seat by the slide rail. The passenger seat has a seat cushion, and a seat back mounted to be changeable between an upright state and a lowered state with respect to the seat cushion. The control part changes the movement region so that the passenger seat and the rear seat can come closer when the seat back of the passenger seat is in the lowered state than in the upright state.

A vehicle seat is thinned in a seat front to back direction. In the vehicle seat, a center seat has a seat back frame, a headrest which is provided above the seat back frame, a pillar which supports the headrest, and brackets which mount the pillar to the seat back frame. The pillar is arranged between the brackets and the seat back frame, the brackets have a weld bead which holds the pillar and a portion where a welding trace to be mounted to the seat back frame is formed, and the weld bead and the portion where the welding trace is formed are arranged at different positions in a direction which intersects a front to back direction of the center seat.

A vehicle seating assembly is provided herein. The vehicle includes a seat-base coupled to a seatback. A guide-channel and an armrest are coupled to at least one of the seatback and the seat-base. A carrier having an airbag is slidably coupled to the guide-channel, wherein the carrier is operable between a stowed position and a use position. The carrier is disposed vehicle downward of the armrest while in the stowed position. An airbag deployment side of the carrier is generally directed seating assembly rearward while the carrier is in the use position.

A heater device for warming a user has a heater panel including a planar heating element which generates heat by energization, a first heat radiation surface formed on one surface side of the heating element, and a second heat radiation surface formed on the other surface side of the heating element. The temperature of the first heat radiation surface is higher than the temperature of the second heat radiation surface. In the heater panel, the first heat radiation surface is configured as a non-contact heater that warms the user in a non-contact manner, and the second heat radiation surface is configured as a contact heater that warms the user in a contact manner.

An armrest assembly for a vehicle and method of operating includes a body with a hinge receiver coupled to the top section. An armrest member is rotationally and removably coupled to the body and is movable between first, second, and third positions A latch receiver having a locking mechanism that operably couples to a latch is defined on the top section or the armrest member. A hinge feature operably couplable to the hinge receiver is defined on the armrest member. An input device is communicatively coupled to a controller, wherein the controller is configured to actuate the locking mechanism.

A hidden type holder device includes: a stationary assembly, a movable assembly, and a first return spring, the movable assembly is accommodated in the stationary assembly and movable to the inside or outside of the stationary assembly, the movable assembly has a retractable holder assembly for accommodating an article, and two opposite end portions of the return spring are respectively mounted on the stationary assembly and the movable assembly.
