An occupant support includes a vehicle seat and an occupant support covering. The occupant-support covering may be configured to be selectively installed on the vehicle seat and an option of a user.

A mechanism for suspending a skin material on a seat rear surface with a simple and light structure is described. A vehicle seat including a seat back forming a backrest surface includes a seat back pad which is a cushion material of the seat back, a skin material which covers the seat back pad, a wire of which a part is embedded inside the seat back pad and another part is exposed to a seat rear surface, and a hook which is attached to an end portion of the skin material on the side of the seat rear surface. The wire engages with the hook so that the skin material is suspended and fixed to the seat rear surface of the seat back.

A vehicle seat cushion carrier assembly (bottom and back) via which a cushion carrier structure, cushion foam, and upholstery are more easily assembled and installed in a vehicle, optionally as a modular unit. The cushion carrier structure can be multi-piece and incorporate any desired trim units. Strap fasteners are used to secure the upholstery to the cushion carrier structure and cushion foam, creating the desired creating seams, creases, and indentations. Clip fasteners are used to secure the upholstery to the cushion carrier structure around the cushion foam, especially with respect to the seat back. This allows much of the upholstering to be done outside the vehicle, optionally in a modular manner. Finally, these modular features and functionalities allow the cushion carrier assemblies (bottom and back) to be quickly and easily secured to the underlying seat pan and/or seat frame using simple screws, hooks, and clip fasteners.

In a vehicle seat, a movable frame provided at a front end portion of a stationary frame is slidable frontward and rearward, and an outer covering is provided to extend frontward from an upper side of the stationary frame and configured to wrap around a front end portion of the movable frame. Engageable members are provided to extend along the left and right end portions of the outer covering. The movable frame has grooves extending from an upper surface, through a front surface and to an undersurface thereof. The engageable members are engageable in the grooves. Each groove includes a first groove section, and a second groove section extending from the first groove section in a direction different from a direction in which the first groove section extends. Each engageable member includes a body portion extending from the outer covering and a claw portion extending from the body portion.

In a vehicle seat, a cushion pad includes a center portion and left and right side portions disposed, respectively, at left and right sides of the center portion. The cushion pad has a first slit provided between the center portion and each of the left and right side portions. The outer covering includes a center cover disposed to cover the center portion, and left and right side covers disposed to cover the left and right side portions, respectively. The outer covering has a second slit provided between the center cover and each of the left and right side covers. Left and right movement restriction plates are fixed to the left and right side covers, respectively. A cushion frame includes left and right engageable portions disposed, respectively, adjacent to the left and right movement restriction plates in positions laterally outward of the movement restriction plates.

Provided is a conveyance seat including a lateral support portion that provides good appearance. A lateral support portion of a seat back includes a base member that defines an outline of the lateral support portion and a surface cover arranged to cover the base member to form an outer surface of the lateral support portion. The surface cover includes multiple surface cover pieces interfaced with each other to form the surface cover and a strip-shaped body that extends out of the interface between the surface cover pieces in a reverse side portion of the surface cover. In a state where the surface cover covers the base member, the strip-shaped body is pulled toward a side of the base member opposite to that on which the interface is positioned with respect to the base member.

A blower connection assembly comprising: (a) a distribution member; (b) a connection adapter connected to the distribution member; and (c) a blower that is connected to the distribution member via the connection adapter; and wherein a portion of a seat suspension extends between the connection adapter and the blower to support the connection adapter, the blower, and the distribution member.

A vehicle seat includes a pair of side frames, a connecting member, a plastic cover member, and a cushion pad. The connecting member connects the pair of side frames. The plastic cover member is fixed on an upper side of each side frame. The cushion pad is laid over the connecting member and the cover member. The cover member includes an inner fixing portion fixed to an upper side of the connecting member.

Provided is a seat cover (5) of a vehicle seat (1) which is formed by sewing a plurality of skin materials includes: a locked part (23) which is provided in a sewn portion (12) of two sheets of sewn skin materials (10 and 11) and is locked in a locking part (22) of a cushion pad in a state where the sewn portion is pulled into a cushion pad (20). Among seam allowances of the skin materials included in the sewn portion, a seam allowance (14) of one skin material includes a protrusion part (15) which is arranged to protrude in a pulling-in direction of the sewn portion from a seam allowance (13) of the other skin material. The locked part is directly provided in the protrusion part.

A trim attachment for a vehicle includes a trim layer having an electrically conductive trim material forming a first electrical circuit, a supporting structure supporting the trim layer, and an electrically conductive attachment member with first and second portions. The first portion is fixed to the trim layer and the second portion is fixed to the supporting structure. The first and second portions are adapted to both selectively resist separation of the trim layer and the supporting structure and to electrically connect the first electrical circuit to a second electrical circuit that is external to the trim layer. The first and second portions may both resist separation of the trim layer and the supporting structure and electrically connect the first and second electrical circuits at a contact surface between the first and second portions.
