Abstract: Provided are: a method for easily producing a ZTC material, wherein in place of raw materials of conventional carbon materials, sugars such as glucose, and crosslinkable hydrocarbons such as DVB are used as a carbon source material; a pellet comprising a ZTC; and a method for producing the same. This method for producing a zeolite-templated carbon material is used, wherein the method involves introducing sugars or the like into a surface and pores of zeolite, and heating the same to carbonize the sugars, and then dissolving and removing the zeolite.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a link mechanism for liftably connecting a seat cushion to a support base directly or indirectly mounted to a vehicle body. The seat cushion is composed of a seating frame with side frames arranged at both right and left ends. The link mechanism includes link members connecting the support base and side frames, and a link connecting member connecting the link members together. Flange portions are formed at both end portions of the extending direction of the link connecting member. End surfaces of the extending direction of the flange portions and facing surfaces of the link members facing the end surfaces are abutted, and the end surfaces and the facing surfaces are joined by welding.

Abstract: Provided is a seat frame for a vehicle seat capable of supporting the back of a seated person during a rear-end collision by using a simple structure and few component portions. The seat frame includes a top frame portion on the top of the seat, lateral frame portions on the right and left of the seat, and a connection frame connecting the tops of the lateral frame portions to bridge them. The connection frame includes a bent protrusion portion bent in the longitudinal direction and arranged in a standing condition from a surface formed by the connection frame, at a position between a pair of the lateral frame portions. The bent protrusion portion is provided over the entire length of the up and down direction of the connection frame.

Abstract: A seat frame for a vehicle seat has side frames disposed on both ends of a seat back frame in the width direction, and a bottom member frame for connecting the bottom ends of the side frames which attach to a seat cushion, wherein: each side frame has a side wall which is positioned on the outside in the width direction and which extends in the vertical direction, and a back wall which extends from the side wall towards the inner side in the width direction; and the lower member frame has a first extension portion extending along the width direction, and second extension portions extending from both ends of the first extension portion in the width direction towards the front. The second extension portions are positioned further inward than the side walls in the width direction and overlap with the side walls.

Abstract: Provided are a vehicle seat and a seat frame for the vehicle seat being configured in such a manner that a headrest bracket is welded and fixed to an upper frame, in which the thermal strain of the welded portion is small and the manufacturing time thereof is shortened by high-speed welding. A seat frame for a vehicle seat has a seat back frame with an upper frame and a bracket joined to the upper frame and holding a pillar of a headrest, and the bracket is fixed to the upper frame by laser-welding. The bracket supports the pillar of the headrest via a support guide, and in at least a portion of the range in the up and down direction where the support guide is provided, the bracket is laser-welded to the upper frame in the up and down direction.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicle seat capable of absorbing collision energy while being bent when the collision energy is applied thereto in the event of a rear collision. A vehicle seat includes a frame side portion which is located at each of right and left sides of a seat back frame and extends in the up and down direction. The frame side portion is provided with a first fragile portion which is formed to extend forward from the rear end and a second fragile portion which is formed at a position separated from the first fragile portion in the frame side portion, and the first fragile portion extends toward the formation position of the second fragile portion.
