Patent number: 10106058Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a cushion frame, a base portion, and a guide structure. The guide structure includes a rail and a rolling mechanism. The rolling mechanism includes an upper guide roller, a lower guide roller, and a roller holder. The rolling mechanism is sandwiched by an upper rolling surface and a lower rolling surface of the rail. The guide structure is configured such that when an occupant load is input to the cushion frame, the guide roller and the rolling surface at one of a first contact point or a second contact point come relatively close together, such that pressure increases, due to a relative position of the roller holder and the rail changing, with the other of the first contact point or the second contact point as a reference point.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: TOYOTA BOSHOKU KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Sohei Matsuyama, Tomonori Ishikawa, Komei Yano, Kento Yoshida

Patent number: 9087505Abstract: A sound insulator of the invention includes a sound absorption layer and an air-impermeable resonance layer, which are bonded to each other via an adhesive layer. The sound absorption layer has a thickness in a range of 5 to 50 mm, an area-weight of not greater than 2000 g/m2 and a two-layer structure of a high-density sound absorption layer and a low-density sound absorption layer. The high-density sound absorption layer is bonded to the air-impermeable resonance layer via the adhesive layer and has a density in a range of 0.05 to 0.20 g/cm3 and a thickness in a range of 2 to 30 mm. The low-density sound absorption layer is bonded to the other face of the high-density sound absorption layer via an adhesive layer and has a density in a range of 0.01 to 0.10 g/cm3 and a thickness in a range of 2 to 30 mm.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2014Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignees: Takehiro Co., Ltd., Toyota Boshoku CorporationInventors: Toru Inoue, Masaki Ishikawa, Youhei Ishikawa, Sohei Matsuyama, Hideyuki Mori

Patent number: 8194879Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to efficiently and inexpensively mass-produce a sound insulator for a vehicle which is light in weight and has excellent sound insulating properties. For this purpose, the ultra-light sound insulator of the present invention is composed of a felt single sheet 3 having a vehicle interior side surface 1 and a vehicle exterior side surface 2 and being thermoformed of cotton fibers and binder fibers which are tangled and contacted and jointed to each other in a random manner. The ratio of the stiffness of the vehicle interior side surface 1 to that of the vehicle exterior side surface 2 is set to be in a range of 1.1 to 10. The single sheet 3 also has an area of gradually-decreasing stiffness 4 that spreads over at least one part of the area between the vehicle interior side surface 1 and the vehicle exterior side surface 2.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2006Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignees: Takehiro Co., Ltd., Toyota Boshoku Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaki Ishikawa, Youhei Ishikawa, Sohei Matsuyama, Hideyuki Mori
