Patent number: 6827388Abstract: A seat arrangement structure for a vehicle including a pair of right and left first side seats; a first center seat disposed between the pair of first side seats; a pair of right and left second side seats; and a second center seat disposed between the pair of second side seats. The first center seat is made slidable only within a range at a back of a position where a front end portion of the first center seat is aligned with that of the pair of first side seats. Each of the pair of first side seats is made slidable only within a range in front of the position where the front end portion of the pair of first side seats is aligned with that of the first center seat. The width of the first center seat is made narrower than that of the pair of first side seats.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2003Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tetsuya Kayumi, Osamu Shirose, Shinsuke Watanabe, Yoshinori Nakamura, Ohsuke Koike

Patent number: 5788326Abstract: A seat cushion is bisected into a front seat cushion and a rear seat cushion. The front seat cushion is liftably and lowerably supported through a lifting mechanism which includes a front link and a rear link. When the seat back is reclined rearwards, a locking pin of a locking bar is separated from a locking claw and slid forwards by a biasing force provided by the front link intended to be tilted down rearwards by a resilient force of a spring. As a result, the front seat cushion is moved rearwards in a manner to follow the reclining of the seat back. The lifted seat cushion does not hinder the reclining of the seat back, and no gap is created between the seat cushion and the seat back. The front seat cushion is lifted to constitute a child seat, and a front seat back and a rear seat back of a seat back are opened longitudinally to constitute a baby basket. Thus, a central seat can be utilized for a baby, a child and an adult.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1996Date of Patent: August 4, 1998Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tateo Kawade, Osamu Shirose, Hiroshi Tokuyama
