An air conditioning device for a vehicle seat, the air conditioning device includes: at least one flow generator to generate an air flow; at least one air inlet opening fluidically connected to a flow inlet of the flow generator to draw in air to be temperature-controlled; at least one air outlet opening fluidically connected to a flow outlet of the flow generator to eject the temperature-controlled air; and a temperature-control device configured to control a temperature of the air drawn in through the at least one air inlet opening prior to the air being ejected from the at least one air outlet opening; the at least one air inlet opening and the at least one air outlet opening are arranged next to one another.

A vehicle seat including: a seat cushion configured to support buttocks and thighs of a seated occupant; a temperature changing section that is provided at the seat cushion and is switchable between a first state in which the temperature changing section operates so as to warm the seated occupant from a front end portion of the seat cushion, and a second state in which the temperature changing section does not operate so as to warm the seated occupant from the front end portion of the seat cushion and a control section configured to control the temperature changing section so as to alternate repeatedly between the first state and the second state in a state in which an occupant is sitting on the seat cushion.

A vehicle seat which can restrain displacement of a duct from a pad is provided. The vehicle seat includes a blower, the pad (P) including an air passage formed therein and a hole (B2) communicating with the air passage, the duct (100) connected to the hole (B2) and configured to connect the blower and the air passage, and a holding member (150) connected to the duct (100). The duct (100) includes a first tubular portion (133) positioned in the hole (B2), and a first flange (134) extending outward from the first tubular portion (133). The holding member (150) includes a second tubular portion (151) connected to the first tubular portion (133), and a second flange (152) extending outward from the second tubular portion (151). The first flange (134) and the second flange (152) hold the pad therebetween.

A car seat includes an air outlet located in a seat upper portion (a portion provided above a seat cushion and including a seat back and a headrest) to let out air therethrough; an air inlet located in the seat upper portion to draw in air therethrough; at least one fan configured to produce a current of air flowing from the air outlet toward the air inlet at a front side of the seat upper portion; and a scenting device configured to scent air to be forced out through the air outlet. The air outlet and the air inlet are located in such positions that at least part of the headrest is positioned between the air outlet and the air inlet in a direction from the air outlet toward the air inlet as viewed from a front side.

In order to make it possible to deal with the states of a seatback from an upright state to a fully reclined state without degrading performance of blowing air from a fan, attached to a seat cushion-side, toward the seatback-side, this vehicle seat having an air conditioning function, is configured to be provided with: an air conditioning fan; fan side piping which is connected with the fan; and seat cushion or seatback side piping which is connected with an air flow passage formed in the seat cushion or the seatback, wherein the fan side piping and the seat cushion or seatback side piping are coupled together slidably in a state where an end of one is partially inserted into an end of the other, and at least one piping of either the fan side pining or the seat cushion or seatback side piping is equipped with a bellows structure.

A seat air-conditioning device includes: a blower; a first ventilation path through which air is drawn in by the blower from a first inlet in a seat base of a seat on which a person sits; a second ventilation path through which the drawn air is discharged from a first outlet in the seat; a third ventilation path that is different from the second ventilation path and through which the drawn air is discharged from a second outlet in the seat; and an outlet ventilation path selection switch that is between the blower and the first and second outlets and selects at least one of the second and third ventilation path to which the drawn air is to be led. The first inlet is vertically below the first outlet and the second outlet.

A seat component for a vehicle seat having at least one air outlet unit configured to be connected to an air supply. In order to be able to adapt a ventilation function of the vehicle seat individually to a contact area between the vehicle seat and a person sitting thereon, the air outlet unit has at least one flexible air guide funnel and at least one diaphragm valve which is arranged within the at least one flexible air guide funnel and which is connected to the at least one flexible air guide funnel in such a way that the diaphragm valve closes the air guide funnel when the air guide funnel is not deformed, and at least partially opens the air guide funnel when the air guide funnel is deformed.

A seat air-conditioning device includes a seat pad, a back lid and a blower. The back lid covers an opening side of a ventilation groove of the seat pad. The blower generates an airflow in a ventilation passage which is defined by the ventilation groove and the back lid. The back lid has a communication port that is formed at an opposing region of the back lid, which is opposed to the blower. The communication port is configured to conduct the airflow generated by the blower. The seat pad has a plurality of support portions that contact the back lid and are formed at an overlapping region of the seat pad which overlaps with the opposing region in a thickness direction of the seat pad. The support portions are circumferentially arranged one after another around the communication port.

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.
