Abstract: A massage device includes a base sheet with a sheet shape and an air bag supported by the base sheet. When one surface of the base sheet is a front surface and a surface opposite to the front surface is a back surface, the air bag includes a bag that is located on a side of the front surface of the base sheet, and that is inflated with air intake and deflated with air exhaust, and a sandwiching portion that is located on a side of the back surface of the base sheet and sandwiches the base sheet between the sandwiching portion and the bag in a thickness direction.

Abstract: An air bag includes a bag portion formed by bonding two sheet members together. The bag portion includes an expansion portion including an annular joining portion extending in an annular shape, and a passage portion including a pair of parallel linear joining portions and connected to the expansion portion. Air filled in the bag portion flows through an internal space of the expansion portion surrounded by the annular joining portion and a passage sandwiched between the linear joining portions defining the passage portion. At a connection portion between the expansion portion and the passage portion, the linear joining portions extend in parallel, or the linear joining portions extend so as to expand toward a deep side of the passage from an opening position of the passage with respect to the internal space of the expansion portion.

Abstract: A seat device is provided with: a first air bag expanding and contracting inside a seat surface skin; a holding member for holding the first air bag and movable along the inner surface of the seat surface skin; a drive device for moving the holding member so as to change the arrangement of the first airbag; and a second air bag independent of the first air bag, the second air bag expanding inside the seat surface skin so as to press the seat surface skin to separate the seat surface skin from the first air bag.

Abstract: This vehicle device operation apparatus is provided with: a deforming body which is configured so as to be attached to a vehicle seat and in which a fluid is sealed; and a control device. The control device is configured so as to detect the inner pressure of the deforming body, detect an adjusting operation which is an occupant's operation for adjusting the operated state of a vehicle device on the basis of a change in inner pressure of the deforming body caused by pressing of the deforming body through the body movement of an occupant seated on the seat, and execute adjustment control for adjusting the operated state of the vehicle device in response to the detection of the adjusting operation.

Abstract: A massage device for a seat includes a pressing portion configured to expand to press a seat occupant seated on the seat, an adjustment portion configured to adjust a position of the pressing portion between the seat occupant and the seat, a deformation detector configured to detect deformation of the seat caused by expansion of the pressing portion, and a controller configured to control the adjustment portion based on a detection result of the deformation detector.

Abstract: A massage apparatus includes: a base; a first air bag and a second air bag, the first air bag and the second air bag vertically overlapped with each other, the first air bag being disposed on an upper side of the second air bag, and the first air bag and the second air bag being joined to each other at an overlapped site; an air injection and discharge section connected to the first air bag for injecting air into and discharging air from the first air bag; a coupling section including a through hole arranged to communicate the air bags with each other is provided at a site where the air bags is joined to each other; and a fixing section rotatably fixing the first air bag to the base provided on a portion of the first air bag, the portion being not overlapped with the second air bag.

Abstract: Airbags each belonging to one of first and second control blocks are arranged below the thighs of an occupant seated on a seat seating surface (S). Specifically, the first and second control blocks are arranged such that the airbags belonging thereto are adjacent to one another in the seat width direction. Further, a seat device controls the airbags belonging to the first control block and the airbags belonging to the second control block to alternately expand and contract.

Abstract: Provided is a concentrated replenisher automatic diluting apparatus and method that can easily and accurately dilute concentrated replenishers and that can set the amount of agents included in the replenishers supplied to processing tanks to ideal values in a system where a variety of concentrated replenishers are supplied from a processing agent kit at the same time and the concentrated replenishers are diluted. When a liquid level detector of one of replenisher tanks detects that a replenisher held in the replenisher tank has reached a lower limit level, predetermined amounts of different kinds of concentrated replenishers are supplied to the replenisher tanks from a replenishing agent kit. Water is supplied to the replenisher tanks through a wash pump and a wash valve in order to dilute the concentrated replenishers.
