Abstract: When an automatic steering execution condition is satisfied, a lane departure suppression device executes automatic steering control that performs automatic steering by automatically applying a steering force to an own vehicle and positioning the own vehicle to a lane. The lane departure suppression device executes warning control that issues a warning to notify a driver of the own vehicle that the own vehicle may depart from the lane, when the lane departure suppression device determines that a warning execution condition is satisfied based on an actual traveling state of the own vehicle in a case where the automatic steering control is not being executed, and executes the warning control when the lane departure suppression device determines that the warning execution condition is satisfied based on a traveling state of the own vehicle achieved by the automatic steering control in a case where the automatic steering control is being executed.

Abstract: A lane departure suppression device: executes automatic steering control when a lane departure condition is satisfied while an automatic steering permission condition is satisfied; executes warning control such that a level of a warning is a predetermined warning level when a departure avoidable condition is not satisfied, the departure avoidable condition being satisfied when the automatic steering permission condition is satisfied, in a case where the automatic steering control is not being executed when a warning execution condition is satisfied; and does not execute the warning control or executes the warning control such that the level of the warning is a level lower than the predetermined warning level when the departure avoidable condition is satisfied, in the case where the automatic steering control is not being executed when the warning execution condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A vehicle driving support device issues an alert to notify a driver of a vehicle in advance that the vehicle is approaching a road having a large curvature. The vehicle driving support device includes a forward information providing device that provides forward information that is information forward of the vehicle, acquires, from the forward information, a curvature of a point that is a first distance forward from the vehicle and a curvature of a point that is a second distance forward from the vehicle, as a near point curvature and a distant point curvature, respectively, the second distance being longer than the first distance, and the curvatures being curvatures of a road on which the vehicle is traveling, and issues the alert when an alert condition is satisfied that the distant point curvature is larger than the near point curvature by a predetermined value or more.

Abstract: A lane change assist apparatus comprises a standby operation device provided on a turn signal lever. The standby operation device outputs a state change request when the standby operation device is operated. The lane change assist apparatus changes its state from a non-standby state to a standby state in response to receiving the state change request. The lane change assist apparatus executes a lane change assist control when a state thereof has been changed to the standby state and receives the lane change assist request.

Abstract: The vehicle seat includes a seat cushion and a seat back. The seat back includes one shaft member, a mount frame having a first bearing and a second bearing, and a first operation section and a second operation section which are arranged side by side. The shaft member is attached to the first and the second bearings, having no fixing section for the mount frame between the first and the second bearings, and serving as a center around which the first and the second operation sections are rotated.

Abstract: In the case of a seat with an armrest on an automobile, an armrest lock mechanism may be released by, for example, the gravitational acceleration (G) in the event of vehicle collision. Accordingly, it is necessary to provide an anti-G spring for biasing to prevent the lock mechanism from being easily released. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an armrest unlocking device that enables a decrease in size of the anti-G spring. In order to solve the problem, provided is an armrest unlocking device in gear, the device operating such that the locking of the lock gear and the sector gear can be released by operating a lever link bracket so as to raise the lock gear, wherein the lock gear has a center of rotation thereof aligned with the position of the center of gravity.

Abstract: A seat moves along a rail in the front-back direction of a vehicle. A juxtaposed member (receiving member) extending in the front-back direction of the vehicle is joined to a floor or the seat so as to be located next to the rail. A detected portion is provided either to the juxtaposed member or to a member which is located on the floor side or the seat side which moves relative to the floor or the seat to which the juxtaposed member is coupled. A sensor that detects the detected portion is provided either to the juxtaposed member or to the member located on the floor side or the seat side. As a result of this configuration, the installation position of the sensor is less spatially restricted than the case in which the sensor is provided to the rail.

Abstract: A vehicle seat with a child seat may have an engagement member, comprising anchors to hold the child seat. Each anchor may have a pair of left and right side bars and a front bar coupled to the side bars. The front bars are engaged with the engagement member. The side bars are secured by brackets to a connecting pipe of the seat cushion or the seatback. Each recess may be made in a pad. A trim cover may have openings each above the recess. The engagement member may have a bifurcated shape and has a groove engaged with the front bar. The connecting members, having one end connected to a trim cover terminal behind the opening and the other end engaged with the bracket, may be wound around the connecting pipe and stretched between the bracket and the trim cover terminal, each drawing the terminal into the recess.

Abstract: A part of the planar member, which is defined by the slits and extends over the center groove made in a seat pad, serves as a bridge part. As the sewn part of a trim cover is pulled into the groove, the bridge part is pressed onto the sewn part of the trim cover and pulled into the groove, together with the sewn part, and is bend in the form like letter U and held in the groove. The groove defines a through hole penetrating the seat pad at the bridge part of the planar member. The bridge part is not pressed onto the bottom of the groove even if the seat pad undergoes compressive deformation and is pressed down in the groove, because the groove has no bottom at some parts.

Abstract: A vehicle seat for use with a child seat may comprise a seatback, seat cushion, and a pair of anchors structured to hold the child seat of an ISO-FIX type. Each anchor may have a pair of left and right side bars and a front bar coupled to upper ends of the left and right side bars, and be a U-shaped form. The front bars are structured to engage with the engagement member of the child seat. The left and right side bars are secured to a bracket and extend forward obliquely from an upright position. The bracket may be secured to a connecting pipe provided in the seat cushion or the seatback and provided at a position where the engagement member abuts on the bracket when the side bars are deformed by a load transmitted to the front bar with which the engagement member is engaged.
