Abstract: A seat is disclosed for use in a vehicle. The seat includes a pivotable seat cushion, a pivotable seatback, and a pivotable headrest. A rearward portion of the seat cushion is pivotably attached to the floor of the vehicle by an anchor member. A forward portion of the seat cushion is pivotably coupled to a forward support leg that contacts the floor of the vehicle when the seat cushion is retained in a generally horizontal position. The forward support leg automatically retracts to a position proximate the seat cushion when the seat cushion is released and pivoted upwardly to a generally vertical stowed position proximate the seatback. The seatback is pivotably attached to the anchor member and may be downwardly pivoted to a generally horizontal stowed position proximate the seat cushion. The headrest may be pivotally attached to the seatback, and may be movable to a stowed position.

Both ends of the seat spring (34B) are coupled to the link mechanisms. When the seat spring (34B) is moved rearward, the headrest is moved forward. Both sides of each of the remaining seat springs (34A) are mounted to the side frames.

Abstract: When a pressure receiving plate provided at a seat back moves to a rear side of a vehicle body when a vehicle is collided from behind, a Bowden cable transmits movement of the pressure receiving plate to a headrest ascending mechanism as a tensile load, thereby quickly ascending a headrest to reliably hold a head of an occupant. The Bowden cable transmits only the tensile load, and hence the Bowden cable is not buckled. Reduction in weight is made possible as compared with the case using a rod for transmitting a compression load. Since the Bowden cable is light, it is not required to unreasonably place the pressure receiving plate at a position near the headrest ascending mechanism for reduction in weight, and hence the pressure receiving plate can be placed at the optimal position where a sufficient driving force is obtained at the time of collision. Thus, a headrest is ascended with favorable responsiveness upon a rear-end collision of a vehicle while using a thin transmission member with low rigidity.

Abstract: A vehicle seat of the invention has an upper movable member (10) supporting a headrest (3), a lower movable member (30) provided inside a backrest, and a coupling mechanism for coupling the upper movable member and the lower movable member.

The upper link mechanism amplifies a backward moving amount of the lower movable member, and moves the headrest forward.

Abstract: Supply and interruption of power source to the first angle sensor 2 and the second angle sensor 4 are alternately performed, by comparing the signal Vo1 or Vo2 which is outputted from the first angle sensor 2 or the second angle sensor 4 and amplified by the first signal amplifier 3 or the second signal amplifier 5 with the signal Vo1 or the signal Vo2 in a state where the abnormality such as the short-circuit does not occur between the wires, so that the determination is made as to whether or not the abnormality such as the short-circuit is present between the wires. The calculating section 6 can quickly detect an abnormality such as the short-circuit simply by supplying the power source to the first angle sensor 2 or the second angle sensor 4. In consequence, the abnormality of the rotational angle detecting device 1 can be detected before the steering wheel connected to the vehicular steering shaft is operated.

Abstract: A magnetic shielding door (10) opens and closes a gate (16) of a magnetic shielding room. Magnetic members (15) made of a magnetic material are aligned at intervals on walls of the magnetic shielding room. Magnetic shielding forming members (27) are disposed to correspond to the respective magnetic members (15) and are made of a magnetic body that forms a magnetic shielding in corporation with the magnetic members (15).
