  • Publication number: 20030025365
    Abstract: A seat structure for a vehicle has a deformation suppressant on at least one of a beam and an other region against deformation of the beam when a downward load acts on a front portion of the seat cushion upon for example vehicular collision or abrupt braking so that rigidity of the seat cushion can be enhanced with no reinforcement such as increase in diameter and/or thickness of the beam and/or a seat cushion frame, making the beam and/or the frame double-walled and/or use of high-strength material for the beam and/or the frame.

  • Patent number: 6267442
    Abstract: A vehicle seat has a tether anchor disposed on a rear surface of a seatback to which a hook on an upper end of a child's seat is engaged for fixing of an upper portion of the child's seat. The vehicle seat has a seatback frame to which the tether anchor is fixed. The tether anchor is covered with a cover formed with a notch along a track of the hook in a locking operation so that a substantial part of the tether anchor is covered with the cover except a portion of the tether anchor on which the hook is locked. This will improve external appearance of the vehicle seat and avoid deterioration of loading ability of the vehicle seat and comfortability of an occupant in the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6234572
    Abstract: The present invention provides a seat for vehicles with a lower anchor on which a child's seat is locked at a bottom of the child's seat through a connector on a back lower end of the child's seat and which is arranged in a notch on a bottom of a backrest. The lower anchor is fixed to a member which fixes the vehicle seat to a vehicle floor. As a result, the notch can be minimized to improve external appearance; the fastening of the lower anchor can be readily carried out to improve work efficiency; and cost increase and heavier weight can be avoided.
