Abstract: A tubular lower mold partitioning wall is erected on a lower mold, and a three-dimensional mesh-like body is disposed with a part of a side face exposed with respect to the lower mold partitioning wall. When a pad main body is molded by foaming a liquid raw material, the mesh-like body is penetrated through the pad main body in a thickness direction. Since the mesh-like body is disposed with a part of the side face exposed with respect to the lower mold partitioning wall, the liquid raw material is hardened between the fibers on the side face of the mesh-like body, and the side face is attached to the pad main body. Therefore, it is possible that the mesh-like body is not easily displaced with respect to the pad main body while suppressing a sweaty feeling.

Abstract: A three-dimensional mesh-like body is disposed on a molding face of a lower mold onto which a liquid raw material of flexible foam is poured. An upper mold is laid over the lower mold to form a cavity, a projection projected on the upper mold toward the cavity is contacted with the three-dimensional mesh-like body, and the three-dimensional mesh-like body is fixed. The three-dimensional mesh-like body is attached and fixed to a front surface of a pad main body, so that the three-dimensional mesh-like body can be prevented from being displaced with respect to the pad main body. Moreover, the position of the three-dimensional mesh-like body can be prevented from being displaced in the process of foaming the liquid raw material because of the projection, and a vent hole can be formed on the pad main body. As a result, a sweaty feeling can be suppressed.

Abstract: A vehicle seat that ensures improving operability of a manipulating member. A supporting member includes a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion disposed at a predetermined interval. A strap is bridged between the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion. A seat back has a recess. A space is formed between the strap (a part bridged between the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion). The part of the strap bridged between the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion are manipulated in a direction entering into the recess or in a direction separating from the recess such that a wire cable is drawn. This allows easily drawing the wire cable using the space of the recess when the strap is manipulated. Accordingly, operability of the strap is improved.
