  • Publication number: 20220375206
    Abstract: An image obtaining section obtains a taken image from an imaging device. A pallet type identification section has a learning model for combinations of images of a plurality of types of pallets and types of the pallets, and identifies a type of a target pallet by inputting, to the learning model, the taken image of the target pallet, which is obtained by the image obtaining section. A pallet position/shape obtaining section obtains position/shape data of the target pallet from a distance measuring device for measuring a distance to the target pallet. A pallet deviation detection section previously stores position/shape data of the pallets and performs comparison between the stored position/shape data corresponding to the identified type of the target pallet and the position/shape data of the target pallet.

  • Patent number: 8616624
    Abstract: In a seat, in a state in which tilting of a back main frame around a tilting center is locked by a reclining mechanism, a lower end of a back joint link is turnably joined to a vehicle side. Thus, turning of a first link, a back sub frame and the back joint link is locked, and operation of a back link mechanism is locked. Therefore, a supporting rigidity from rear side of a back side portion can be enhanced by the back link mechanism (the back sub frame), and a crew sitting in the seat can be thoroughly retained.

  • Patent number: 8360530
    Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a pad that is made of resin foam, and that forms a seat cushion or a seatback. The pad has a layered structure formed of a surface layer pad that forms a seating surface-side portion of the pad and a back layer pad that is provided on the back side of the surface layer pad. The back layer pad is higher in hardness and lower in density than the surface layer pad.

  • Patent number: 8235466
    Abstract: In a seat (10), in a state in which tilting of a back main frame (16) around a tilting center (16A) is locked by a reclining mechanism (18), a lower end of a back joint link (26) is turnably joined to a vehicle side. Thus, turning of a first link (22), a back sub frame (24) and the back joint link (26) is locked, and operation of a back link mechanism (14) is locked. Therefore, a supporting rigidity from rear side of a back side portion (12B) can be enhanced by the back link mechanism (14) (the back sub frame (24)), and a crew sitting in the seat (10) can be thoroughly retained.

  • Patent number: 8231174
    Abstract: When a seat (10) is to be stowed, a seat pad (28) is moved toward a seat (10) reverse side, pad side portions (32) are rotated toward the seat (10) reverse side with respect to a pad center portion (30), and a center portion (12) and side portions (14) of the seat (10) are contracted. Here, interlockingly with contraction of the side portions (14), a skin (42) is bent and folded in at portions covering distal ends of vertical walls (22) of a wall panel (18) and at second fixing portions (42B). Due thereto, slack of the skin (42) at seat (10) lateral direction end surfaces can be taken in.

  • Patent number: 8152240
    Abstract: A vehicular seat device has a first linking member (21) that is linked to a front portion of a seat cushion frame (16) and to a base member (24) so as to be respectively pivotable, and a second linking member (22) that is pivotably linked to a rear portion of the seat cushion frame (16) and is also pivotably linked to a position on a seatback frame (18) which is upward of a reclining mechanism (26) when the seatback is in a standing state. The seat arrangements thereof include a retracted state in which the seatback (14) is superimposed on the upper side of the seat cushion (12), and an entry/exit state in which the seat cushion (12) is placed in the standing state producing a space for an occupant's entry or exit behind the seat.

  • Publication number: 20090146477
    Abstract: In a seat (10), a seat back (14) tilts forward to be superposed on a seat cushion (20) and thereby the seat (10) is stowed. In this stowage operation, an arm (26) and a cushion main frame (22) are moved forward by a back frame (16), rotating a front link (28) forward. The operation reduces the distance in the vertical direction between a position at which the front link (28) is connected to the cushion main frame (22) and a restriction shaft (30), so that the distance in the vertical direction between the cushion main frame (22) and a lower wall of an under cover (32) can be reduced. As a result, the under cover (32) contacts with a vehicle compartment floor surface (12) and a seat cushion body (24) is inserted inside the under cover (32). This allows the thickness of the seat cushion (20) to be reduced at the back side of the cushion main frame (22).

  • Publication number: 20090127904
    Abstract: In a seat (10), rotating a seat cushion rearward causes the seat cushion to be superposed on the front side of a seat back for stowage. In the stowage of the seat (10), the seat cushion is rotated rearward, moving an interlocking link downward. The connection link (18) is then rotated downward in the seat back, so that a distance in a back-and-forth direction between a back main frame (14) and a receiving member (20) is reduced. This allows the thickness of the seat back (12) to be reduced in a part on the back of the back main frame (14).

  • Patent number: 5988726
    Abstract: A simple-structure vehicular rear seat wherein an upstanding seat cushion reliably receives and stops a luggage piece placed on a luggage supportive floor surface if the piece moves for any reason. When a seat back is laid down forward, the reverse surface of the seat back can be used as a luggage supportive floor surface. A seat cushion is supported on an elevated step portion of a stepped floor, and made up of a lower cushion and an upper cushion. The upper cushion is connected to the elevated step portion by a link-type connection mechanism that allows the upper cushion to be moved between a normal position where the upper cushion is supported on the lower cushion and an upstanding position where the reverse surface of the upper cushion abuts against and is supported by a front wall surface of the elevated step portion.
