  • Patent number: 6152534
    Abstract: A trim cover 5 capable of vending and deforming together with the sheet resilient material by pressure of a body of a sitting passenger is stretched within the frame of the frame body such as to face a front surface side of the sheet resilient material 2. With this structure, it is possible to suppress the air from an air conditioner in a vehicle from directly flowing from the seating face to a sitting passenger, thereby preventing the excessive effect of the air conditioner in the vehicle. Further, the design of the entire seat can be enhanced.
