  • Patent number: 10596932
    Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a child safety seat and a seat for a vehicle, which are capable of easing a restriction on a position of the child safety seat on the vehicle seat due to a limited width of the vehicle, so as to enhance the degree of freedom of such a position. At the same time, the apparatus and seat allow mounting of the child safety seat on the vehicle seat in a precise and reliable manner in such a way that the child safety seat can endure an impact load in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle or a lateral direction of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10493875
    Abstract: A vehicle seat comprises: a seatback pad that configures a cushion member of a seatback, with an opening into which a connector of a child seat can be inserted from a seat front formed so as to penetrate through a lower end section of the seatback pad in a seat front-rear direction, and a front end of the opening having a width along a seat width direction that is narrower than a seat width direction width of the connector; a connection member that is provided at a seat rear side with respect to the front end of the opening, and to which the connector inserted into the opening is to be connected; and an elastic member that is provided at the seatback pad.

  • Patent number: 10173564
    Abstract: Lower end portions of an edge and another edge are fixed to a wire through pull-in cloths and a fixing member such that the pull-in cloths pull the lower end portions in toward the rear and into an opening (slit). This enables the edge and the another edge to be closed together in a state in which tension is applied to a front covering and a side covering. This enables the external appearance of a seatback to be preserved. Further, the edge and the another edge can be separated from each other, enabling a connector to be inserted into the opening from between the edge and the another edge, and the connector to be connected to an ISOFIX member. An inferior external appearance of the seatback can accordingly be suppressed while securing insertability of the connector.
