Patent number: 10493886Abstract: The present disclosure describes, in an armrest capable of being displaced between a stored position and a deployed position, a vehicular seat capable of preventing foreign matter from entering the interior thereof through a gap formed between the armrest (in particular, the vicinity of the center of displacement thereof) and a mounted portion. The present disclosure relates to a vehicular seat provided with an armrest. Both ends of a first shaft are pivotably supported by first holes formed in a plurality of guide members, and both ends of a second shaft are inserted into second holes to be movable along the holes. Between a side surface side of the armrest and the guide members, a plate member which covers at least a part of the second holes is provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2016Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignees: TS Tech Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Miyazaki, Toru Inagaki, Toshihiko Tsuda

Patent number: 10093202Abstract: A frame serving as a seatback frame for a vehicle seat and simply configured to reduce a load applied to a seated occupant at the time of a vehicle collision is provided. A seatback frame includes a connecting wire which connects side frames. The center of the connecting wire is bent to extend toward a front side of a vehicle seat. When the seated occupant is moved toward a rear side of the vehicle seat at the time of a vehicle rear-end collision, the forward extending portion restrains a portion of the back of the seated occupant in which a thoracic vertebra is located and reduces an amount of a rearward movement of the portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignees: TS Tech Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi Fujita, Yusuke Higano, Koji Sano, Toshihiko Tsuda

Patent number: 8579351Abstract: A vehicle seat device capable of providing a space in which a large sized load can be disposed. A seat device is provided with a left rear seat and a right rear seat arranged next to each other in the vehicle width direction, and also with a left front movement device for moving the left rear seat to a left foot space located in front of the left rear seat. The left rear seat having been moved to the left foot space is moved through a lateral slide rail up to a right foot space located in front of the right rear seat.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Takakura, Kazutomo Isonaga, Toshihiko Tsuda

Patent number: 8434808Abstract: A vehicle seat has a seatback movable between an upright position and a horizontal position, a seat bottom movable between a use position perpendicular to the seatback and a stowage position parallel to the seatback, and a lock mechanism for holding the seat bottom at the stowage position when the seat bottom is moved to the stowage position. When the seatback is moved to the horizontal position, the vehicle seat has a dive-down state where the seatback and the seat bottom are stacked on top of the other. The seat bottom has a detection lever that, when the seat bottom becomes the dive-down state, comes into contact with a floor panel and is displaced. In the lock mechanism, when the detection lever is displaced, the function of holding the seat bottom at the stowage position becomes ineffective.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2008Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignees: TS Tech Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirohisa Abe, Toshiyuki Tsujibayashi, Toshihiko Tsuda

Patent number: 6513873Abstract: When no child seat is attached to a folding adult seat of an automotive vehicle, the seat bottom of the adult seat is retained in a first locked state relative to the floor of the vehicle by means of a first locking mechanism alone. When an ISO-FIX child seat is attached to the adult seat, the seat bottom of the adult seat is retained in an additional locked state relative to the vehicle floor by a second locking mechanism that automatically locks the seat bottom by being operated on by part of the child seat as the child seat is moved toward and engaged with the seat. In this case, the second locking mechanism that is directly operated on by the attached child seat is constructed to perform a primary seat-bottom locking function to lock the seat bottom relative to the vehicle floor, while the first locking mechanism performs an auxiliary seat-bottom locking function.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2001Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Honda Giken KogyolKabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshihiko Tsuda, Seiji Waku
