  • Patent number: 11970091
    Abstract: To provide a vehicle seat in which the rotation device is disposed without compromising the passenger comfort in the cabin, a vehicle seat includes: a floor panel which has a sheet shape, constitutes a floor surface of a cabin, and has an elongated hole extending linearly; a slide device provided below the floor panel to be slidable along the elongated hole; a rotation device provided on the slide device to be rotatable about a rotation axis below the floor panel, the rotation axis extending vertically and overlapping with the elongated hole; a support leg which is columnar in shape, is provided on the rotation device along the rotation axis, and extends to above the floor panel by passing through the elongated hole; and a seat main body which is joined to an upper end of the support leg and on which an occupant can be seated.

  • Patent number: 11964593
    Abstract: In an arrangement which includes a seat support body slidably supported on a fixed rail fixed to a floor; a power supply device supplying power to an electrical component on a seat side; and a drive device driving the seat support body in a front-and-rear direction and having a motor and a transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through an interior of the fixed rail, the power supply device includes: a housing housing an electric wire for power supply; and a slider linked to the seat support body and slidable within the fixed rail. The electric wire is drawn out from the housing, retained by the slider and slidable within the fixed rail. The slider has an interference-avoiding portion for avoiding interference with the transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through the interior of the fixed rail.

  • Publication number: 20230278468
    Abstract: In an arrangement which includes a seat support body slidably supported on a fixed rail fixed to a floor; a power supply device supplying power to an electrical component on a seat side; and a drive device driving the seat support body in a front-and-rear direction and having a motor and a transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through an interior of the fixed rail, the power supply device includes: a housing housing an electric wire for power supply; and a slider linked to the seat support body and slidable within the fixed rail. The electric wire is drawn out from the housing, retained by the slider and slidable within the fixed rail. The slider has an interference-avoiding portion for avoiding interference with the transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through the interior of the fixed rail.
