  • Patent number: 11667220
    Abstract: A seat capable of suppressing wrinkles around an opening of a curved-surface-portion of a skin. The seat comprises: a skin in which a curved opening is formed in the curved-surface-portion; an elastically deformable plate-shaped reinforcing-member that reinforces a peripheral portion of the opening, the reinforcing-member being disposed in a curved state along an inner surface of the curved-surface-portion; and a pressing-member that covers the peripheral portion of the opening in a state where the pressing-member presses the peripheral portion of the opening from an outer surface of the curved-surface-portion. The reinforcing-member has a main-body-portion overlapping with the pressing-ember, and extending-portions respectively extending from side edges of the main-body-portion to a range not overlapping with the pressing-member. A slit is formed in each of the extending-portions.

  • Publication number: 20220355714
    Abstract: A seat capable of creating a shape conforming to a curved surface of a pad. The seat includes: a pad having a curved first surface and a second surface; an outer cover covering the pad, the outer cover having an inward-suspending portion inwardly suspended in the pad; and a holding member having bending-allowing elasticity, the holding member holding a shape of the inward-suspending portion. The inward-suspending portion extends continuously from the first surface to the second surface of the pad. The holding member is fixed to a part of the inward-suspending portion, the part extending continuously from the first surface to the second surface of the pad. The inward-suspending portion is fastened only to the second surface of the pad, and is disposed on the first surface in a state of the inward-suspending portion being bent together with the holding member along the curved surface of the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20220169159
    Abstract: Provided is a seat enabling reduction of a burden in skin assembling work and improvement of appearance quality of the seat. A seat includes linear members extending along a longitudinal direction of hanging portions of a skin and provided at the hanging portion, and elastically deformable tubular members provided inside grooves of a pad so as to extend along the groove. A slit is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the tubular member, the slit extending in a longitudinal direction of the tubular member, having a width narrower than an outer diameter of the linear member, and enabling the width to be expanded by elastic deformation of the tubular member.

  • Patent number: 11124096
    Abstract: Provided is a seat reducible risk of releasing a connection between a bezel and a cover. The seat allows attaching of a child safety seat, and includes a bezel and a cover covering the bezel. The bezel and the cover respectively include a pair of bezel-side overlap portions and a cover-side overlap portion that overlap with each other in an intersecting direction intersecting an attaching-and-detaching-direction of a bezel body and a cover body. One of the bezel-side overlap portions and the cover-side overlap portion are formed with a through-hole, and the other of the bezel-side overlap portions is formed with a female-threaded-hole. Then, in a state where the pair of bezel-side overlap portions and the cover-side overlap portion overlap each other in the intersecting direction, a fastening member is inserted into the through-hole and a male-threaded portion is screwed into the female-threaded-hole to connect between the bezel and the cover.

  • Patent number: 9592750
    Abstract: A child seat lock device has an anchor that is secured to a vehicle body frame and retains a catch of a child seat in a removable manner. A seat cushion is attached to the vehicle body frame independently of the anchor. The seat cushion has a cushion pad that is provided with a groove that houses the catch retained by the anchor and extends in a front-rear direction of the seat. A skin is provided for covering the cushion pad and has, at a location in front of the groove, an insertion slit into which the catch is inserted. A guide is provided for guiding the inserted catch from the insertion slit toward the anchor at the position of the groove. The guide is harder than the cushion pad.

  • Patent number: 8840182
    Abstract: A seat structure has a right seat (1R) and a left seat (1L) configured to allow three passengers to be seated, respectively, in the left seat (1L), the right seat (1R), and a region striding across a boundary between the right and left seats (1R, 1L). The left seat (1L) can be slid leftward (L) to allow the right and left seats (1R, 1L) to become spaced apart to create a walk-through space (S) therebetween. A headrest (1c) for a middle seat passenger seated in the region striding the boundary between the right and left seats (1R, 1L) is supported on a top of a seat back of the left seat (1L). The middle seat passenger's headrest (1c) can be slid leftward to unblock the walk-through space (S) when the right and left seats (1R, 1L) are in spaced-apart relation.
