  • Patent number: 10752138
    Abstract: Right and left brackets coupling a seat back frame and seat cushion frame together are configured to adjust an amount of deformation upon impact absorption. A vehicle seat frame includes a seat cushion frame, seat back frame, coupling bracket configured to couple a cushion side frame as a side frame of the seat cushion frame on one side of the vehicle seat frame and a seat back side frame as a side frame of the seat back frame on the one side, and coupling bracket configured to couple a cushion side frame as a side frame of the seat cushion frame on the other side and a seat back side frame as a side frame of the seat back frame on the other side. Deformability upon impact absorption is different between a weak portion provided at the coupling bracket and a weak portion provided at the coupling bracket.

  • Patent number: 9522617
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle seat capable of efficiently absorbing impact energy generated upon a rear end collision in a manner such that the vehicle seat is stably deformed at a specific position with respect to a complex input load generated upon a rear end collision. A vehicle seat includes: frame side portions that are located at the right and left sides of a seat back frame and extend in the up to down direction; and frame extension portions that extend from the frame side portions toward the inside in the right and left direction. A connection portion that connects the frame side portions to the frame extension portions is provided with a deformation portion that is deformed when an impact load is applied thereto. The deformation portion is formed adjacent to other deformation portions having deformation characteristics different from that of the deformation portion.

  • Publication number: 20150352985
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle seat having a high absorbing efficiency of impact energy upon rear end collision. The vehicle seat includes a pair of side frames that are arranged on the side, and lower frames and that connect lower portions of the pair of side frames to each other, in which a narrow portion including: a horizontal portion formed inside the pair of side frames along a longitudinal direction with a flexibility against a load equal to or more than a predetermined impact load, and an inclined portion extending from the horizontal portion via a bent portion inside the pair of side frames is formed on the lower frames.
