Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly includes a side support capable of supporting a side portion of the torso of an occupant seated in the seat. The seat has a seatback capable of being tilted up or down relative to a seat cushion. A support shaft extending from a lateral surface part of the seatback in a widthwise direction toward an outside of a vehicle is rotatably supported by a bracket. A spring for urging the seatback in a forward-tilting direction is disposed between the support shaft and the bracket. The bracket and the spring are positioned proximately to a rear surface part of the side support.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat cushion having a connector insertion hole for receiving therein a connector of a child seat for attachment of the child seat to the seat assembly, and a buckle insertion slit for allowing a buckle to be pulled out onto the seat cushion. The buckle insertion slit and the connector insertion hole are formed contiguously or otherwise integrally with each other.

Abstract: A vehicle seat is disclosed which comprises a seat cushion 1, first and second seat backs 2, 3 separated from each other in a vehicle width direction and pivotally supported to the seat cushion 1, a first recliner device 22 for allowing the first seat back 2 to be pivoted in a forward/rearward direction with respect to the seat cushion 1, and a second recliner device 34 for allowing the second seat back 3 to be pivoted in the forward/rearward direction with respect to the seat cushion. The first seat back 2 is provided at a side thereof adjacent the side of the second seat back with a first bracket 21a. The second seat back 2 is provided at a side thereof adjacent the side of the first seat back 2 with a second bracket 31. The seat cushion is provided with a third bracket 11 which is located between the first and second brackets 21a, 31 and rises up from a rear end portion of the seat cushion 1. The first recliner device 22 includes an actuating shaft 23.

Abstract: A vehicle seat wherein left and right seat backs are attached to left and right seat cushions, respectively, in such a manner as to be folded up thereon. A support shaft is provided on the left and right seat cushions for allowing the left and right seat cushions and the left and right seat backs folded up on the left and right seat cushions to be rotated toward the rear of a vehicle individually. The seat cushions and the seat backs so rotated about the support shaft are stored in a recessed portion in a vehicle body floor. The support shaft is provided on the vehicle body floor so that the support shaft is supported in the vicinity of edge portions of the recessed portion.

Abstract: A tubular part wall thickness measuring device includes a radiation source having a plurality of radiation sources disposed in a line. The radiation passes through a collimator to provide parallel radiation beams which pass transversely through a tubular part to a radiation detector. The length of the radiation source and the radiation detector are greater than the diameter of the tubular part to be measured so that the radiation passes through an entire section of the tubular part so that the average wall thickness of the tubular part can be determined from the amount of attenuation of radiation which is detected by the detector.
